Hip flask houses

The hip flask houses (Finnish: taskumattitalot) are a group of four apartment buildings[1] built in 1959 and 1961 in the Länsikorkee area of the Tapiola district in Espoo, Finland.

[3] The Hip flask houses dominate the appearance of the area and have become a sort of symbol of Tapiola.

Oy Riistakallio built in 1961, an oblong lamella building with five floors.

The longer facades are clad in horizontal Minerit emphasised with teak grids and window panes.

The top floor of each building has a sauna, a panorama terrace, ventilation balconies and drying cabinets.
