Alterations to the Nuora building (1923–24)

Originally, Nuora House had one-and-a-half storeys. Its lower part was built from logs, and its upper part was planked. Aalto turned Nuora House into a two-storey residential and commercial building with external stairs and balconies. Wide eaves and window frames give the building a classicist overall appearance.
