Terassitalo, Functionalist residential building in Kauttua, Finland.

The Terassitalo building follows the natural slope of the terrain, with each apartment featuring its own ground-level entrance and private outdoor terrace space.

Built in 1938 as part of the Kauttua ironworks complex, the structure was designed by architect Alvar Aalto to house senior executives of A. Ahlström Osakeyhtiö company.

The interior of apartment number three contains an exhibition space that displays vintage Artek furniture and lighting fixtures from different design periods.

The building opens to visitors every Saturday from 11:00 to 15:00, with adult admission tickets priced at 5 euros and children under seven entering free.

Each apartment entrance sits at ground level despite the multi-story design, achieved through an innovative stepped construction that follows the hillside gradient.
