"JKMM Architects' winning team was led by founding partner Samuli Miettinen and supported by a multidisciplinary group of collaborators, including Akukon, Granlund, MIR, Pentagon Design, and Ramboll Finland. The practice, established in 1998, is known for projects such as the Amos Rex art museum in Helsinki, Dance House Helsinki, and Finland's pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, and is currently working on extensions to the National Museum of Finland and the Lillehammer Art Museum."
"The Helsinki-based practice's proposal, known during the competition as Kumma, was chosen from 624 entries submitted from around the world. The open and anonymous competition, launched in April 2024, sought conceptual designs for a new 10,050-square-meter cultural institution to be built on the city's South Harbor waterfront. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2027, with completion and public opening planned for 2030."
An open, anonymous international design competition received 624 entries to select an architect for a new 10,050-square-meter Museum of Architecture and Design on Helsinki's South Harbor. JKMM Architects won first prize with the proposal Kumma. The jury praised the design for integrating into the historic cityscape while asserting a recognizable public identity as a low-rise, pavilion-like triangular building. Construction is planned to start in 2027 with opening in 2030. Second and third prizes went to Cossement Cardoso and Lopes Brenna respectively, with additional awards to Tyrsky and Atelier Orda. JKMM's team includes multiple Finnish consultants and international collaborators.
