His breakthrough was the Glass Palace in Helsinki (1936), which he designed during his student years together with Niilo Kokko and Heimo Riihimäki.

Revell always gathered the best team of architects to design the competition plans. His greatest breakthrough was the winning of the competition for the design of the City Hall of Toronto among more than 530 contestants in 1958, and which earned him an international reputation.
