JKMM won the Saunalahti Children’s House competition with a design titled “Lowly Worm”.  True to it’s name, the house worms its way across the rocky Kummelivuori hill in Espoo.  The two storey building contains a dar-care centre and a child health clinic.

Internally the decorative motifs, materials and colours have been inspired by nature and the surrounding landscape.
