From the Agent: "Built in 1907, this Finnish apartment is located in an old Art Nouveau building, which recently underwent a massive remodel. All plumbing, electrical work, and public areas were restored to match the original designs. The flat itself was designed and renovated by the owner, Aleksi Hautamäki. Mixing old and new, the apartment features wooden walls, floor-to-ceiling glass, and clever space-saving innovations. All the fixed furnishings around the flat were custom made for the space from the same handpicked knotty oak veneer as the walls. Though small in size, the apartment was carefully designed to utilize every corner and now includes two bedrooms and a well-equipped kitchen, loft, and sauna. It might sound odd to have a sauna in a tiny flat like this, but in Finland saunas are everywhere."

The renovated apartment is conveniently situated in the quiet area of Jääkärinkatu, Helsinki.
The kitchen sits near the main entry and features long countertops and new appliances. The remodel converted the old door recess into cabinets for additional storage.
More floor-to-ceiling storage is located in the hallway. The home’s 10-foot-tall ceilings enhance the overall sense of space.
A serene bedroom awaits off the living room. "The mix of wood and black, steel-framed metal makes the home feels both cozy and luxe," says designer and owner Aleksi Hautamäki.
A fixed ladder leads to a small sleeping nook, while a cedar-clad sauna awaits steps away.
