            Enso-Gutzeit Building, Helsinki, Finland
Architect: Alvar Aalto 1959-1962 
The Enso-Gutzeit Building was, and is, the headquarters of one of Finland's largest pulp and paper companies – Enso-Gutzeit Oy then, and Stora Enso Oyj today. The building occupes an imposing site at the waterfront at the end of the Esplanade, with the Russian Orthodox Church behind. In this position its low, regular profile with the long loggia on the roof, have tones of Venetian palace. The facade is made up of square windows with wooden frames deeply set into white and grey-blue marble surrounds. While superficially similar to many more mundane concrete office blocks since, the Enso-Gutzeit building stands out for its detailing, its materials, and the complex geometry hidden behind the formal front facade. Except for the roof-storey, the plan of the office floors is so arranged that the large rooms occur on the outside and can be subdivided according to needs. The subsidiary rooms lie on both sides of the central lobby connecting with the offices. The dining room is on the top floor.
