Hi, I'm Jaakko Torvinen, an architect specialized in wood construction. I live in Helsinki, but I'm originally from Lapland. I graduated from Aalto University with top grades. My Master's thesis were Pikku-Finlandia, a temporary movable wooden building as a temporary conference building for Finlandia Hall, which I designed together with my fellow students. Its specialty is whole pine trees as load-bearing columns. When I waded through the snowy forest choosing those trees, I knew I had chosen the right profession.
Before I started studying architecture, I worked e.g. as a real estate agent, record label sales manager and computer installer. My diverse work history gives me a broad perspective on design. I wanted to study to be an architect because I wanted a creative profession that I could use to make a positive impact on the world.
I was awarded by Wallpaper* as a Next Generation 2022 and a Finalist of EUMies Awards Young Talent 2023.
In my free time, I paint and enjoy winter swimming.
