Future
Land use and construction have far-reaching impacts on our living environment. Climate change and biodiversity loss are huge challenges that we are responding to by developing design practices and methods. In addition to expertise, we offer bold insights and practical solutions. Our knowledgeable partners support us in research and development projects.
Clean environment and ecological reconstruction are the goals that motivate us in our work. We base our work on the latest research and we invest in continuous competence development and environmental impact assessment throughout the design process. By illustrating information and solutions, complex entities can be communicated in an understandable way.

Kyläseppä-Storhemt local environment plan
Between the centre of Suurpelto and Turunväylä, new residential areas of Kyläseppä and Storhemt are being planned. The Kyläseppä-Storhemt local environment plan brings together the surrounding local plan areas and presents guidelines for the development of the central park area of Suurpelto. The work examines the conditions for developing an area of cultural and historical value that is challenging in terms of ecological connections.
Härmälä idea competition
Our proposal Huili received a shared victory on October 10, 2025 in the idea competition for a new residential and camping area in Tampere’s Härmälä. The concept of Huili (rest, break, relaxation) draws inspiration from old-time villa life, centered around living and staying in the midst of nature, the restorative power of nature, community spirit and the spaces, services and shared-use facilities that encourage it.
Alku – child-friendly landscape architecture
Alku (beginning) explores child-friendly landscape architecture and urban planning through three key themes: nature, play, and movement. It delves into the importance of interactive design and the participation of children and youth. The book is part of Nomaji’s anniversary year, and in addition to theory and design principles it presents practical examples from projects over the past ten years.
Leikin ja liikkeen lumo guide
Leikin ja liikkeen lumo (the magic of play and movement) – a guide to nature-based play and exercise environments by Nomaji is now published! Currently the guide is only available in Finnish, but English and Swedish translations will be available this spring.
Nature Station
Nature Station is an experimental project by Nomaji and Abau Design that introduces a new way to create biodiversity in urban spaces and highlights the importance of soil.
Land Use Nature Value Calculator LUMA
The LUMA tool we developed integrates nature and land use, making nature information an integral part of planning.
Yleisradio area
In Ilmala, the functions of the current block reserved for Yleisradio’s operations will be developed to be more diverse by adding jobs, housing, services and a public park area to the area, while preserving the operational possibilities of Yle’s media center.
Alku goes Carbon Play
On Saturday 26.8, Nomaji organised Alku workshop on the theme of Carbon Play in front of the Oodi library. The workshop was arranged in collaboration with CO-CARBON, as part of the Carbon Smart Green Infrastructure festival.
Vision of the local train station’s environment in Tesoma
The current identity of the Tesoma area, located west of the center of Tampere, consists of very different distinctive areas, the most significant of which can be considered the construction by the forest typical to 1970s. With the completion of the urban structure, the development of the local train stop’s environment become topical.
