Wivi Lönn’s house, Art Nouveau residential building in Älylä, Finland
The three-story villa features architectural elements of Jugend movement, with large windows and decorative details on its white facade at Hämeenkatu corner.
Built in 1911, this residence served as the personal home of Wivi Lönn, the first woman in Finland to establish an independent architectural practice.
The building represents a period when female architects began establishing their presence in Finnish architecture, marking a shift in professional gender dynamics.
Located at the intersection of Hämeenkatu and Wivi Lönnin katu, the villa stands within walking distance from central Jyväskylä and Seminaarinmäki district.
The villa originally provided views of Jyväsjärvi lake from its first floor, though subsequent urban development has altered this visual connection.
