Dealing with big ideas

New identity for Helsinki based architect studio Lahdelma & Mahlamäki. Long-term architectural partners Ilmari Lahdelma and Rainer Mahlamäki founded LMa in 1997. Over the years the studio has become synonymous with high-quality, socially aware design, and renowned for its deep understanding of the impact of history, location and the human touch.

The visual identity for LM Architects is strongly based on its custom typeface. It carries their conceptual thinking—their aesthetic—side by side with images of their works, and when all other forms of representation come short. Discover the creative process behind the custom typeface here.
