Studio Aalto

Both the studio and the Villa are now part of the Alvar Aalto Museum, and they are open to the public.

Aalto is reported to have said that “architectural art can not be created in an office-like environment.”[1] The façade is built in plain style, in white-painted, lightly rendered brickwork.

The closed-in mass of the building conceals a garden shaped like an amphitheatre in its inner courtyard.

The slender mass of the office wing is in white-painted, lightly rendered brickwork.

[2] From the working space upstairs, large windows give a view to both east and west.
