- DESCRIPTION: Villa Mairea is a guest-house and rural retreat for the Gullichsens, a wealthy couple who were lovers and promoters of art. They told Aalto that he should regard it as ‘an experimental house’. Aalto seems to have treated the house as an opportunity to bring together all the themes that had been preoccupying him in his work.
