Small Houses in Finland, by Esa Piironen (Rakennustieto Oy, 2004), presents 29 of the best Finnish single-family houses from the late 1980s until early 2000s.
Small Houses in Finland presents a selection: of the best single-family houses in Finland from the last twenty-five years. Each of the 29 houses presented shows a different approach to the design of a small house, from the site placement to the plan layout, façades, massing, and use of materials, all the way to the handling of the construction details. All the houses have been individually designed for single families, and are situated in different environments, from the country- side to the city and from the seashore inland. The houses in this book have been selected by architect Esa Piironen, who himself has designed a number of small houses. Characteristic of his approach has been a commitment to environmentally friendly and humane architecture.
