Author: Kjaergaard Thorkild ED

Europe has two seas stretching from east to west: the Mediterranean and the Baltic.

This book takes us on a journey to these ancient shores and brings it’s fairy-tale castles to life. Includes practical information for the visitor to these castles in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, the Baltic countries not to forget St. Petersburg. Glossary.

FINNISH SUMMER HOUSES.

Author: Jetsonen, Jari and Sirkkaliisa
Year: 2008
Country or State of Origin: New York

This book presents in detail twenty villas, cottages, and cabins by architects such as Eliel Saarinen, Oiva Kallio, Alvar Aalto, and Juhani Pallasmaa, among many others. Authors Jari and Sirkkaliisa Jetsonen use contemporary photographs, archival images, drawings, and plans to illustrate the diversity found in the designs of Finnish summer residences. From Lars Sonck's Lasses Villa (1895), with its traditional farmhouse elements, and Alvar Aalto's Muuratsalo Experimental House (1952–54) to Erkki Kairamo's sparse Villa Aulikki (1995–2003), which seems to grow out of its landscape, the works in this book are of a highly personal nature; indeed, most of the summer houses are still used by the architect or the families of their children. The very best examples of these fantastic summer homes are collected here, making FINNISH SUMMER HOUSES an inspiration for anyone dreaming about a summer home of their own.
