About the Award-Winning Museum of Seurasaari Design: Seurasaari is one of the 315 islands in Helsinki. Over the past 100 years, 78 wooden buildings have been shipped here from various parts of Finland. All of these are standing on stone, because the wood absorbs the moisture in the soil. The new Museum building follows this analogy, on the ground floor everything made by reinforced concrete structures. The sculptured mass is a built rock. The top layer standing on this, which is made of wood in every element. MuSe is floating among the trees like a cloud, communicates with the sourrounding nature and respects the traditional skanzen buildings.
This palette has a warm feel, creating comfort and energy.

Gyula Takács is an acclaimed designer acknowledged by the A' Design Award. Their work showcases mastery in aesthetic development.
Now living and working in Helsinki, Hungarian architect Gyula Takács graduated from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics in 2017 in Faculty of Architecture. His diploma project, MuSe Helsinki – Museum of Seurasaari won the Media’s Architectural Prize in Budapest (2017) and recieved the prestigious A’ Design Award in Milan (2018). His projects have explored how to minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings by efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy, and the ecosystem at large. He believes that „nowadays, it is not enough only to preserve our environment as it is, we have to make effort to actively enrich it. In all my works, I emphasise the importance of a combined architectural and landscape design concept. In this, it is crucial to consider the use of renewable materials, the solutions of sustainable maintenance, and doing so, minimizing the ecological footprint, and respect the biodiversity.” This is a sentiment that he incorporates into all his design work, with a strong focus on timber structures and small design details: „I strongly believe that good architecture is capable of addressing a great amount of social issues including those associated with climate change.”
