Villa Ervi
Villa Ervi

Villa Ervi is a detached residential building located on the Kuusisaari island in western Helsinki, Finland. It was designed by the architect, Professor Aarne Ervi (1910–1977) as the family residence of him and his wife, the actress Rauni Luoma. Ervi began designing it in the late 1930s, but the plan was interrupted by the breakout of the Winter War in 1939; planning permission was granted in 1943, but construction was delayed by the Continuation War. After the war, Ervi revised his plans, and changed the design from flat to a gabled roof. The design was finalised in 1950, and the building was completed in 1951. In 196s, he added an office annexe to house his design bureau; it comprises approximately half of the total floor space. At the same time, he also had a separate sauna building and an outdoor swimming pool built. The design features white surfaces, wood and other natural materials, and large windows allowing plentiful natural light to enter. The building's interior area is 545 square metres (5,870 sq ft). The plot is 0.23 hectares (0.57 acres) in size, and has a private shoreline on the Gulf of Finland. Juhana Lahti, a researcher at the Finnish Heritage Agency specialising in Ervi's work, has characterised the building as unique, architecturally important, and well preserved for a residential building. It is regarded as one of the most important post-war residential buildings in Finland. It is not, however, protected by a heritage designation: the building's owner since 1990, architect Mauri Tommila, did not wish to turn it into a 'museum', because he believes that since it was built as a family home, it should remain so.

Munkkiniemi Pension
Munkkiniemi Pension

The Munkkiniemi Pension or the Munkkiniemi Boarding House (most recently the Munkkiniemi House of Education) is a building in Munkkiniemi, Helsinki, designed by Eliel Saarinen, which was completed in 1918 and located at Hollantilaisentie 11. Saarinen designed the building as well as its interiors. Along with the terraced houses on the other side of the street, the building represents the only concrete commission that resulted from Saarinen's Munkkiniemi-Haaga Plan of 1915.The building functioned as a boarding house only until 1923. In the following year, the National Defence University began its operation in the building, where it remained until 1940, when it was transferred to Santahamina. The building was then occupied by the headquarters of the Finnish Air Force until 1973. After that, the building was renovated, and in 1976 it was transferred to the State Education Centre. In 2002, the centre was incorporated and came to be known as HAUS Finnish Institute of Public Management Ltd. The main tenant was from 2004 the National Board of Customs, which initiated its educational functions there, later known as the Customs School. After the Customs School had moved to Pasila, HAUS moved to city center in January 2018 leaving the building mainly empty.The Helsinki City Government has passed a zoning plan in May 2019, according to which the building will be turned into apartments, with a total of 45 of them. The premises of the training center's restaurant will remain there. The outward appearance and the interiors of the building will change to some extent. The tower salon will be turned into an apartment, and some balconies will be built. The building is a protected one.
