Eliel and Eero Saarinen Homes

Eliel and Eero Saarinen are renowned as the most famous father-son duo in architecture: Eliel, the father, was celebrated for triumphs such as the Art Nouveau railway station in Helsinki, Finland, whereas his son, Eero, was the designer of masterpieces like the TWA Terminal Building at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York. Both Eliel and Eero Saarinen stressed the importance of a building's relationship to its surroundings. This is most clearly demonstrated in their private residences, often sited in woodland or rocky outcrops near water, where architecture merges effortlessly with the natural landscape. Nature is also reflected in decorative motifs, both within the interiors and on facades. Regardless of style, the Saarinens' residential architecture expresses a belief in the house as a total work of art. For the first time, Eliel and Eero Saarinen Homes presents 33 residential buildings designed by Eliel and Eero Saarinen between 1897 and 1962, located in Finland,
