Commissioned in 1936 by Maire and Harry Gullichsen, the Villa Mairea stands as a definitive achievement of 20th-century Modernist architecture. This volume documents the collaborative design process between the clients and architects Alvar and Aino Aalto, illustrating how the residence evolved into a lifelong project for its namesake. Through detailed archival records, the text examines the synthesis of organic forms, material innovation, and domestic functionality that defines this iconic Finnish structure.
