This book presents the intimate and personal houses and saunas designed by Aalto – his early works, as well as the later ones, including many that have rarely been published. Included are two summerhouses that Aalto designed and built for himself: Villa Flora and the world-famous Experimental House in Muuratsalo. The summerhouses featured in this book were all personally designed by Aalto for his relatives and friends.
