Finnish Building Developments

Key Architectural Developments in Finland, northeast Europe

Finnish Building Developments News

We’ve selected what we feel are the key examples of Finnish Buildings.

We aim to include buildings from Finland that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both. We cover completed buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across Finland. The focus is on contemporary Finnish buildings but information on traditional buildings is also welcome. We have 3 pages of Finnish Architecture selections with links to hundreds of individual project pages.
