Viitatorni, Residential tower in Jyväskylä, Finland.
The Viitatorni building rises thirteen stories high with rectangular wall-to-wall windows and six asymmetrically stepped elements on its facade.
The Finnish Housing Foundation constructed Viitatorni between 1959 and 1964 as part of the Viitaniemi residential area development in Jyväskylä.
Architect Alvar Aalto modified his initial fan-shaped design to a rectangular format while maintaining distinctive stepping elements on the western side.
The building contains 72 residential units, including four single-room apartments with kitchenettes per floor and a three-room unit at each gable end.
Each apartment features a different layout, with three-room units incorporating sliding partitions between living rooms and bedrooms for flexible space configuration.
