Front page  / About us

Pirinen & Salo is a partnership of two architects – Teemu Pirinen and Lauri Salo. Teemu and Lauri established their office in Finland in 2018. The office is located in both Helsinki and Inari. Pirinen & Salo is active internationally.

Pirinen & Salo is a progressive and contemporary practice that focuses on architecture and design – from urban planning to buildings, interiors, objects, and products. As an active part of a design process, Pirinen & Salo is involved throughout the whole process, from the first sketch to on-site supervision.

The practice works like a good tailor – Every client and every site have their own qualities and dreams. To fulfil these needs the designer must truly understand the being of both and deliver something more. Made to measure.

”We’re proud to share a selection of our work with you. As part of our design process, we dive in to history, theory, and intuition—studying, questioning, and experimenting along the way. We hope you will find genuine inspiration in our work and make use of it.”
