Muuratsalo Experimental House

Aalto's summer residence, known as the Experimental House, is situated on the western shore of the Muuratsalo island. It consists of the main building, which contains the living areas, the courtyard and a guest-room space.

Through  the  process  of  designing  the  house,  it  became  an  experimental  study  of  architecture,  materials,  aesthetic  effects  and  finishing  techniques.  It  was  a  summer  house  for  the  Aalto  family  until  1994.  Nowadays,  Alvar  Aalto  Museum  takes  care  of  the  building,  which  can  be  visited.

Architect: Alvar  Aalto
Project  date: 1952
