Guest 2 - Juha Päätalo - Website - LinkedIn

Architect (SAFA) / certified passive house designer.

I became an architect by accident. I was living in Germany and working as a Formula One journalist when I started to long for a more down-to-earth life. Maybe I took it too literally, though, as I ended up building rammed earth walls in the factory of Martin Rauch, an earth-building pioneer in Europe, on my first summer holidays as an architecture student. Anyway, after that there was no return. Earth became my material. After I graduated in Munich in 2016, I worked for a while at NVO Architects in Munich and as an assistant of Prof. Florian Nagler at TU Munich.

For Christmas 2019, I returned to Finland after 27 years in Germany – and after spending the last four summer holidays before that building a house for me and my wife in Tampere. There, I started my own office in February 2020. Ever since then, I have been working as a full-time earth-building enthusiast, giving courses and lectures, developing new ways to build with light clay and rammed earth, and pushing the idea of prefabrication with natural materials.

About Paatalo Architects Ltd

Päätalo Architects Ltd was founded in February 2020. From the very beginning, the focus has been on natural building – materials that come from nature and last a lifetime. Clay, timber, and stone.

Another principle of the company is the site-specific approach. Genius loci and the art of proportions. And finally, the belief in prefabrication with natural materials as a key to really change the way of building.

As there wasn’t a lot in that sector, we had to invent the prefabricated building elements made of a light timber structure, filled with clay and hemp shives.
