2460. Sunilan Tehdas

 

Dear Rem,

The buildings of the old Sunila sawmill were converted 

for the use of the new pulp mill community according 

to the plans of Aino and Alvar Aalto. The old buildings 

were used to house, among other things, the clerks' club, 

the foreman's club, a kindergarten and a library. 

The architecture of the mill area was largely determined 

by the production process, and the definitive point of 

reference for the area was the office building. Indeed 

Alvar Aalto paid more attention to the design of the 

office building than the production facilities, and 

Aino Aalto was to a large extent responsible for the 

interior design.

Regards,

R
