Studio Puisto Architects devise prefabricated modular units that join together and blend with the surrounding forest in Hyvinkää, Finland.
The three Uni Villas that Studio Puisto Architects designed in collaboration with nature tourism entrepreneur Kari Vainio are wrapped in vertical cross-laminated timber that blends with the wooded Finnish landscape. "The cladding is treated with a breathable and ecological dark oil stain that creates uniformity with the environment," says architect Sami Logren.

In devising the prefabricated modular villas in Finland’s Kytäjä Golf area, Studio Puisto Architects and Vainio realized a long-standing aspiration. "It was our dream to make it easier for anyone and everyone to access nature in a sustainable way," Logren says. As such, the team decided to employ uni—the Finnish word for "dream"—for the name of the modular villas, as well as the eponymous micro resort.
The low-impact, sustainable prefabricated modular villas were designed to integrate with nature.
