Wood House Design | House L | Soini | Finland | OOPEAA

House L is a private home designed by the architect for his family on a farm that has been in the family for generations in Soini, Finland. The house was designed and completed in 2009-2010. It is used mainly as a weekend house and a vacation home. It is regularly used throughout the year.

The arrangement of the buildings around the farm yard has been shaped by different forces over time and the it has undergone several changes over generations. House L is built on the foundations of the new farm house built in the 1970s, after the existing house was deemed to be so poorly constructed that it was only possible to reuse the foundations and a small section of the outer layer of the wall.....more

Client:Private

The diamond-shape of the main building creates sunny courtyards both to the south and the west. The facades are clad in broad boards painted grey. The concrete fireplace in the centre of the building functions as a traditional heart, radiating and sustaining warmth. The ground floor with long views to the valley contains living spaces, the bedrooms and the bathrooms are located on the first floor.
