Department manager’s residence in Rajamäki, designed by architect Einari Teräsvirta

The Municipality of Nurmijärvi is selling by public auction a house with its plot in the village of Rajamäki, originally built in 1957 as a department manager’s residence. The building is part of a series of three identical residences designed by architect Einari Teräsvirta in the mid-1950s for the then Oy Alkoholiliike Ab. The property is situated at the end of Toivojentie in a park-like area and forms part of a factory community of cultural and historical significance.

The building previously operated as a day-care centre. Under the current local detailed plan, the area is designated for detached houses. For residential use, the buyer must change the building’s intended use to a detached house in accordance with the valid local detailed plan. The change of use requires the necessary building plans and an energy report, as well as any structural alterations.

The building is heated by district heating distributed through a water-circulated radiator network. There is also a fireplace, which is not currently in use.
