Text description provided by architect.
House Vihavainen is situated on a exceptionally beautiful lake side plot in Punkaharju, Finland.
The form and materials were inspired by the surronding nature with its rushes, stones and tall pine-trees.
Weathered wood and low mass lifted from the ground gives the building humbleness and modesty in the beautiful Finnish landscape. Nature will take back it’s space in few years.
