Imagine a place where pristine nature meets unparalleled elegance, a sanctuary so exquisite it feels like the very next step from Eden. For the discerning American luxury buyer, this Honka Frame villa on the sandy shores of the Gulf of Finland offers just that—a year-round escape designed for ultimate privacy and breathtaking views.
A family intimately familiar with the Gulf of Finland found their dream private island off the coast of Uusimaa in 2020. This "perfect" plot boasted a stunning sandy beach and natural beauty, an ideal canvas for their vision of a secluded, year-round holiday home in Raasepori.
This nearly completed 1,500-square-foot villa, featuring expansive glass walls, is a masterpiece of modern design. An architecturally identical sauna building stands nearby, offering an immersive experience with the sea. A separate guest house is also planned for ultimate space and flexibility.
Choosing a Honka Frame villa, a leader in pillar-beam construction, the family customized a neighboring design to perfectly suit their needs. The result is a long, narrow structure ensuring unobstructed sea views from every single room—the living area, all three bedrooms, and even the sauna building. Imagine waving to the nearby islets, Adam and Eva, from your sauna or relaxing on the expansive Siberian larch terrace. Expertly handled by JOIM Rakennusliike, the construction reflects a commitment to quality and seamless execution.
The villa's interior design boasts a clear-cut style: a striking black exterior gives way to a serene white interior. The robust pillar-beam frame is exposed, with sturdy joists matching the vertical pillars and ceiling boards for a cohesive look. Medium brown parquet floors provide a warm foundation, while carefully selected furnishings offer elegant contrast. The dark-toned, handle-free Noblessa kitchen is a major design statement, reflecting sleek, modern aesthetics.
The mother of the family, with a passion for decorating, has created a clean, high-quality ambiance. Furniture is minimalistic, yet the lounge sofa and dining table are exceptionally large and impressive. The dining table, notably, features a top sawn from a single, enormous piece of wood, showcasing its natural beauty.
Heated by electricity, a fireplace will be installed this summer for added ambiance. Given the extensive glass surfaces, cooling is paramount, addressed by four efficient air source heat pumps. With all finishing work completing this year, the family eagerly anticipates fully embracing life in their extraordinary villa.
