Olli Koponen's House


Okay, after looking at this picture, I think I will pack my bags and move to Finland. This is a beautiful and genuine house designed by Olli Koponen. It's called House Kolito (Seashell House) and is actually his own home.
The Basic Structure is a wooden wall with floor and roof made of prefabricated elements. The exterior surfaces are covered by larch shingles from Krasnojars, Russia and the interior surfaces are of Finnish traditional aspen shingles. A good example of Vernacular architecture: cosy, natural and simple.
