This sustainable cross-shaped villa tucked away on an island near the Finnish town of Virrat has been completed by the Helsinki-based practice of Anu Puustinen and Ville Hara, Avanto Architects.
Quintessentially Nordic, the 78-square-meters house has no running water and is solely dependent on solar energy while the good insolation and wood-fueled heating system make the villa carbon-neutral.

Tinted black on the outside, villa’s simple wood-panel façade translates into the modest milky-white interior which resembles that of a traditional Finnish sauna – a feature which house also incorporates.
