Alvar Aalto designed this impressive private residence for the Gullichsens, major art collectors in Finland. The way Aalto incorporated nature in the design of this house is absolutely striking. For a visitor MAIREA is imprinted in the mind as a kind of realized precedent , a piece of the new, harmonious image of the world. Here with architectural means, masterfully interpreted, its expression has attained a certain concept of life: nature, man and art in mutual harmony.
