Huttunen-Lipasti-Pakkanen Architects Helsinki, Finland Pekka Pakkanen and Risto Huttunen represented Huttunen-Lipasti-Pakkanen (HLP) Architects at the final competition presentations before the jury in their hometown of Helsinki. The careers of both architects have been heavily involved with single-family housing, from small huts to complete homes. The firm has designed pre-fabricated housing systems for various companies including Finnish steel producer Ruukki. As a short-listed firm submitting for the 3rd International Architecture Competition for Sustainable Housing, a competition of Living Steel (www.livingsteel.org), they presented their house without corners. The house has a tablet shape with an outer shell that provides an area sheltered from harsh winters, making a cocoon-like surrounding to the main living areas. The outmost perimeter of the house is made of a semi-trans-parent layer of steel. This curtain wall shelters the house from cold winds, rain, snow and exposure to solar heat. Listen as the architects talk about their philosophy and approach in designing this house for Russia.
