The Aalto House

„We wanted to make the best use in a private house of natural lighting, the orientation of the terraces and the different rooms, shelters from the wind and so on, so because of our climate, we were obliged to adopt a complex solution with a lot of external walls. This required more thorough investigation of the insulating properties of the external walls... Different wall finishings have been used in the interiors, such as fabric, non-woven fibrous rugs and wood. The floors are wood strip or linoleum, laid directly on the concrete. Cantilevered floor slabs are insulated inside and out. The external insulation is clad with corrugated sheets.“
