What's in a name?

In Lappland the word jolma meant the point where two waters meet. Thus the family living at the crossing of the Tornionjoki -river and the Pellonjärvi -lake was called Jolma. Today the name Jolma stills carries this value of joining flows of people and ideas. Jolma Architects believes that combining different values and expertise is the key to success.

Background

Jolma Architects was founded by Kasmir Jolma, a co-founder of Architecture Studio BUENAVENTURA (2014-2017). Jolma Architects continues BUENAVENTURA’s principles of collaboration, innovation and bold design. Many of Jolma Architects’ projects are based on the competition success of BUENAVENTURA and are designed in collaboration with the same team members.
