About Avanto Architects
Avanto Architects is a Helsinki studio founded in 2004 by Ville Hara and Anu Puustinen after winning an open competition for a cemetery chapel. Avanto means a hole in the ice, referring to the popular Finnish pastime of winter bathing.
The studio works on projects of varying scale for public communities, private companies and private clients, offering architectural planning and lead-designer services from sketch to construction phase. Its work includes housing, civic buildings and cultural spaces.
For clients seeking a small, high-quality studio, Avanto offers direct dealings with its founding partners. Its approach joins design, sustainability and personal experience in buildings intended to be both distinctive and economically sensible.
