Insinööritalo, Office building in Punavuori, Helsinki, Finland.
The red-brick facade of this six-story structure features ribbon windows that contrast with the surrounding neighborhood architecture at Ratakatu 9.
Finnish architect Alvar Aalto designed this building between 1948 and 1952 for the Finnish Association of Engineers, which maintained ownership until 1968.
The building hosted significant events, including a 1967 Jimi Hendrix performance recording at Tesvision television studio, Finland's first television channel.
Following extensive renovations in 2022, the structure now contains 18 residential apartments, ranging from studios to a four-room penthouse.
The building's basement level maintains its original functions with rental sauna facilities and a nightclub, preserving aspects of its mid-century design.
