Side View of the Eliel Saarinen House
Villa Hvitträsk near Luoma, Finland

Saarinen's house takes a cue from traditional Finnish rural architecture in both its forms and its materials.  Like other Arts and Crafts designs, it is at once both rustic and sophisticated.  It certainly would have been the antithesis of the Neoclassical and Victorian architecture that had become so popular in the decades before its construction from 1901 to 1904.  Photo taken in 1982 by Howard J. Partridge.
