Lönnqvist & Vanamo Architects AB is a Stockholm-based, international architectural practice run by Max Lönnqvist and Pilvi Vanamo. The studio works with various fields and scales of architecture, from private residences to public building projects and from concept design to detailed production drawings. 

The office designs buildings and spaces with focus on social responsibility and long-term positive effects on the society. That includes spaces for culture, knowledge, and a sense of wellbeing. We believe these are the essential elements for a sustainable society. 

The office prefers to opreate within multidisciplinary networks and brings together professionals with different backgrounds and experiences for a holistic design approach. The collaboration of great minds thinking differently generates a creative process with unexpected results.

The aim is to work closely together with each client to produce a holistic solution and to create sustainable and functional architecture with the available resources, whether extensive or minimal. As an advisor and a partner throughout the entire journey, the office supports the client from creating a strategy and a creative concept to delivering detailed and tailored construction drawings and evaluating the built result. 

Lönnqvist & Vanamo Architects follow the Quality- and Environmental Management System according to the international standards ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015.
