Some time ago Iย publishedย this house that -as theย Eclectic Mid-Century Modernย Apartment in Amsterdamย I wrote about last week- also is owned by a friend of mine: Daan.
Looking for better job opportunities, Alvar Aalto and his family moved from the small town of Turku to Helsinki in 1933. Besides job opportunities, Aalto also was also looking for the perfect location where he could build his future home. After living in two different apartments in Helsinki, the Aaltos bought a piece of land just outside the city.
Our lives, thatโs what our houses should be about and tell.
When I visit/see a house I try to understand a bit about the story of its owner and not only if it is decorated with nice mid-century furniture or is an architecture masterpiece. Thatโs why I immediately loved this house!
