House Riihi by Oopeaa is in Alajärvi, a small village in eastern Ostrobothnia in Finland. The arrangement of the house, the atelier and the garage recall a traditional Finnish farm, in which wooden cottages were arranged to form a protected inner courtyard. The low energy, L-shaped house has a wooden frame, with large pitched roofs clad in aluminum. Images: Oopeaa
