Naistentalo

Located at Mannerheimintie 93, Naistentalo consists of three residential wings with 279 apartments surrounding a central courtyard in the Laakso district.

Built in the early 1950s, Naistentalo was Finland's first collective residence, constructed to provide housing for women who served during wartime.

The White Lady restaurant, established within Naistentalo, marked a social shift as the first restaurant where women could dine without male accompaniment.

The building contains mostly studio units, with some larger three-room apartments, and provides residents access to shared facilities including laundry rooms and balcony areas.

At its peak occupancy, Naistentalo housed approximately 700 residents, featuring a central kitchen, dining hall, daycare center, sauna, and swimming pool.
