Finnish architects win international award for sustainable archipelago village

The Majamaja concept, a Finnish sustainable holiday village, draws its inspiration from the Helsinki Archipelago, where it is located.

Majamaja wins the Small Project of the Year category at the Dezeen Awards in London.

The jury praised Majamaja’s self-sufficient, off-grid energy production and ecological credentials. It is designed by Pekka Littow and his colleagues at Littow Architectes.

“The future of sustainable tourism and more broadly the field of leisure living needs green and tangible innovations like Majamaja,” says Claire Barrett, director of the Dezeen Awards.
