About us
The initial idea behind Amerikka Design Office in 2004 was to combine the expertise of two architects, Sami Maukonen and Teemu Nojonen. The concept of creating ‘commercial spaces with brand identity’ emerged from Sami’s background in project architecture and Teemu’s experience in brand building.
Today Amerikka designs work environments & commercial spaces, shopping centers & retail spaces, restaurants & hotels, as–well–as urban environments. This broad array of design focus is built on the expertise of a team of twenty design professionals with different specialties.
There are several stories behind the company’s name. Simplified, the vision was to create a place capable of making dreams come true, which lead to naming the office after the fabled/mythical America.
