We're delighted to have been chosen to design the new RestoCamp premises in Pasila for Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences! Under the lead of our interior architects and service designers Teija Anttila and Fabiola Liffl?nder and in close collaboration with the Haaga-Helia team, we aim to create an innovative yet timeless environment where aesthetics and functionality come together. The project scope covers concept development, interior design, acoustics, and lighting solutions. Our service design approach ensures that the needs of the future users are at the heart of the design. #pesarkkitehdit #pesarchitects_interior #workplacedesign #servicedesign #ty?ymp?rist? #palvelumuotoilu

During my working visits around Shanghai and surrounding provinces I often see and visit well organized Chinese industrial parks and modern factory premises of the Finnish companies. This week I had a huge pleasure to pay a visit to magnificent Nanchang Poly Grand Theatre, designed and constructed by Finnish PES-Architects. Nanchang Grand Theatre is a new landmark and cultural hub in the newly developing part of Nanchang city by Jiulong lake. The massive but yet light looking 45.000 m2 building incorporates ceramics and bamboo, renewable materials deeply rooted in the local tradition. Congratulations to PES China Development director Jyri Eskola and PES-Architects Shanghai, and thank you for organizing this glance at your work for our Team Finland delegation during our visit to Jiangxi.

By advancing the structural and functional integration of PV technologies, we will contribute to creating zero-energy buildings while addressing challenges such as aesthetic solutions, decommissioning, and disposal. With widespread testing and strategic application, this initiative will drive climate-neutral cities and transform urban landscapes with renewable energy solutions. #REFORM #BIPV #PerovskitePV #SustainableArchitecture #ZeroEnergyBuildings #CleanEnergy #EnergyEfficiency #UrbanRenewables #SolarInnovation #RenewableEnergy #CETPartnership University of Valencia ODTü-GüNAM Optitune PES-Architects TEKNOLOGIAN TUTKIMUSKESKUS VTT OY Thomas Biel NET NOWAK ENERGIE & TECHNOLOGIE AG

The Finnish Architectural Review featured the Nanchang Grand Theatre in their latest issue and talked with PES-Architects' Tuomas Silvennoinen and Jyri Eskola about the design process as well as the advantages and challenges of working in China. This was our third completed opera house in China, where we've established ourselves over the past two decades thanks to the pioneering efforts of our founding partner Pekka Salminen, who passed earlier this year. Our success continues to be based on a comprehensive vision with a focus on functionality in the Nordic tradition, attention to detail, and a preference for natural, local materials such as ceramics and bamboo.

We're excited to share that our proposal for the Mekong Delta Agricultural Museum, designed in collaboration with local office NDV & Partners, has been awarded in the international design competition in Vinh Long, Vietnam! More than 50 teams registered for the competition, of which ten were selected for the design phase. The goal of the museum is to promote agricultural and cultural heritage in the Mekong Delta. Our design is inspired by the Mekong Delta's agricultural landscapes and vernacular architecture. The 15,000 sqm museum is arranged in village-like pavilions, connecting seamlessly with its surroundings through courtyards, fields, canals, paths, and glass walls. With an emphasis on sustainability, the building employs passive cooling, local materials and community-maintained landscapes. This is our first project in Vietnam and a step towards further expanding our design services outside of China and into the larger Asian region. We look forward to continuing into the construction phase.

Modern concert hall acoustics are designed using a range of methods including virtual acoustics labs, as in the case of Turku Music Hall Fuuga. Helsingin Sanomat joined John Storg?rds, Chief Conductor, and Nikke Isom?tt?nen, Chief Executive of the Turku Philharmonic Orchestra at the Aalto University Acoustics lab with Professior Tapio Lokki to hear it for themselves.

PES-Architects was invited to join a panel discussion and talk about the use of sustainable #bamboo materials in building at the 2024 UN Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC COP 29) in Baku, Azerbaijan. PES-Architects’ partner Martin Lukasczyk presented the various ways in which we have used bamboo in our China projects from the Wuxi Grand Theatre to Fuzhou Strait Culture and Art Centre and, most recently, the Nanchang Grand Theatre. Martin also discussed the use of #wood and #CLT in the future Turku Music Hall Fuuga, drawing a comparison between the use of spruce in Finland and bamboo in China. Traditionally regarded as “poor man’s materials”, these resources have been elevated through design, showcasing their functional versatility and aesthetic potential in our performance space projects. The building sector is responsible for 1/3 of global CO2 emissions. Replacing concrete, steel, and brick structures with #timber structures and upscaling bamboo plantations to enable the innovative application of bamboo in construction can contribute to fighting global warming. Martin also had the pleasure of meeting with Mr. Lin, founder of dasso Group, our main bamboo material partner in all our China projects. #cop29 #sustainabledesign #sustainablebuilding #climatechange #architecture

November kicked off at the inspiring World Architecture Festival 2024 in Singapore, where we had the honour of receiving the WAFX Prize for the Wuhan Opera Art Centre concept. The WAFX Prize awards projects that best use design and architecture to tackle major world issues, including health, climate change, technology, ethics and values. Our design was a Winner in the Cultural Identity category. As finalists in the WAF Future Project: Culture category, PES-Shanghai partner Jyri Eskola and Mr. Wang, project leader from local architect UAD, also got to present the project to a live jury and audience at the event. Congratulations to the category winner IND Architects as well as to our team for their excellent work! Our design for the Wuhan Opera Art Centre received 2nd prize in a competition in 2023. The 45,000 sqm multipurpose centre for performing arts was designed especially for Chinese opera, with dedicated theatres for Han, Jing, and Chu opera as well as a western opera auditorium and experimental theatre.
