Koskikara, Functionalist residence in Kajaani, Finland.
The Koskikara building stands by the Kajananjoki River, featuring clean lines and practical design elements characteristic of 1940s Finnish architecture.
Constructed in 1941 by architect Eino Pitkänen, the building served as the official residence for the managing director of Kajaani paper mill until 1989.
The structure, named after a bird species found in Finnish rivers, represents the fusion of functionalist architecture with industrial development in Finland.
The building contains multiple meeting rooms that can accommodate between 12 to 55 people, with additional facilities including a basement sauna.
Presidents Urho Kekkonen of Finland and Leonid Brezhnev of the Soviet Union have dined within the walls of this protected structure.
