Villa Koli

Villa Koli features a two-story timber structure with a mansard roof, glass verandas, and open porches on different sides of the building.

Architect Wivi Lönn designed the villa in 1915 for professor Jaakko Karvonen and his wife Anna Robina, with construction completed in summer 1917.

The building represents the summer villa construction period along the western coast of Helsinki, defining the architectural traditions of the region.

Since 1985, all modifications to Villa Koli require approval from the Finnish Heritage Agency to maintain its structural and historical integrity.

According to local stories, the architect Wivi Lönn once lost the construction drawings and recovered them through a newspaper advertisement.
