Villa Puutasku

Villa Puutasku is built for a private customer on the Finnish South coast. The Villa complex includes a main building, guest house, sauna and a boathouse from earlier decades. The main buildings are placed on the border of the rocky shoreside and fertile inland creating various places of shelter from the harsh sea winds. The key architectural elements are the sheltering roofs and a geometry that opens views to two main vistas that dominate the site. The built pieces are located to preserve the special natural values of the site and to hide from the seaside views. The villa is built using simple structures and natural lo-carbon materials including cross-laminated timber to ensure a long and healthy lifespan.
