Läntinen Pitkäkatu 20, Residential complex in Turku, Finland.
Läntinen Pitkäkatu 20 features horizontal window arrangements across its three-tier structure, incorporating five commercial units and thirty-four individual apartments.
Constructed in 1928, this building marked a milestone in Finnish architecture as the first functionalist structure designed by Alvar Aalto using standardized cast concrete elements.
The residential complex influenced urban living standards in Finland by introducing modern architectural elements while maintaining classical design features on its facade.
The building contains various apartment layouts, with the most common configuration offering two rooms, a hall, and a kitchen for comfortable family living.
During housing shortages of the 1940s and 1950s, residents received special permissions for subletting due to specific architectural characteristics.
