Charmaine and I wish Elina and Antti all the very best on sharing their love and passion for Alvar Aalto and Joonas Kokkonen. To those fortunate enough to visit Elina and Antti at Villa Kokkonen will be rewarded with a unique and thoroughly enjoyable experience. Architecture and music are harmoniously combined to uplift and inspire through space, light and acoustics.

Villa Kokkonen is an experience extremely worthwhile for those interested in the composition of the arts.

Dear Elina and Antti

A note to thank you for the great visit we had to Kokkonen. 

It was a place we wanted to visit on the way between one thing and another, but turned out to be, for most of our tour group, a real highlight.  Antti’s guidance around the Villa was excellent and full of interesting information, and the recital you gave us was really moving.  It was wonderful to experience the space in such a rich and integrated way.

All the best to you – and thank you again.

Architectural Office Aebi & Vincent came to Villa Kokkonen for a visit of 3 hours. Their visit was hosted by Elina and Antti. In the photo above with Elina,  Mr. Aebi and Mr. Vincent  are about to leave Villa Kokkonen to get to the airport of Helsinki in 25 minutes. Instead of tears of goodbye there are smiles of seeing again in the future!
