As a young architect in 1925, Aalto wrote, “The only proper goal of architecture is: build naturally. Don’t overdo it. Don’t do anything without good reason. Everything superfluous turns ugly with time.” This requirement that Aalto set for architecture was beautifully realized in his own residential and office building which was completed in 1936. A marvelous guide to Aalto’s creative streak, in its most personal manifestation.
