UFO - Futuro House

Attn: This house is on private property, so stick to the sidewalk to take your pictures. The Futuro House was designed in 1968 by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen. It was commissioned as a "holiday house" or vacation home. Because it would be used in a mountainside setting, the structure needed to be easy to transport to the site, low maintenance and shed snow easily. The final design of the Futuro House met all those criteria. It's just over 26 feet in diameter and came completely equipped with custom furnishings that fit the interesting shape of this house. The idea behind the design reflects the optimism of the sixties. At the time people believed technology could solve all problems for the human race. The ideal was of a new era, a space-age, where everybody would have more leisure time to spend on holidays away from home. The Futuro house was completely furnished and could accommodate 8 people.
