Syksyllä 1956 Aaltoon otti yhteyttä tunnettu ranskalainen taidekauppias Louis Carré vaimoineen. He halusivat rakennuttaa taiteellisesti korkealaatuisen ja ylellisen huvilan suurelle tontille, jonka Carré oli hankkinut läheltä Bazochesin kylää, kumpuilevaan historialliseen maastoon Rambouilletin metsän lähellä. Arkkitehtuurin lisäksi Aallon tuli suunnitella mahdollisimman yksityiskohtaisesti sisustus sekä koko tontin maisemointi istutuksineen.

Detmerode is a housing community linked to the industrial city of Wolfsburg. In 1963 Aalto was commissioned to design a church centre for this small suburb.

The village of Muurame lies a few miles south of Jyväskylä, the town where Aalto opened his first architectural practice in 1923. It was only natural for the parish council to commission its new church from the closest qualified architect. Alvar Aalto had made his first trip to Italy in 1924, and his travel impressions are much in evidence in the church of Muurame.

Aalto took part in a competition for a large church and parish centre announced by Seinäjoki parish in 1951, sending in an entry marked “Lakeuksien risti” (“Cross of the plains”). Instead of placing the parish rooms under the church or in a smaller, separate building, as the other entrants had done, Aalto seized upon the big religious events commonly organized in Osthrobotnia in summer. He laid out a large piazza, loping down towards the church and girded by the parish facilities, in front…

Jyväskylä Workers' Club was designed 1924 for the Jyväskylä workers' association and erected that and the following year; this building marked Aalto's breakthrough.

Aalto was contacted in autumn 1956 by the well-known French art dealer Louis Carré and his wife, who wished to build a villa of the highest artistic quality and material comfort on a large plot Carré had acquired near the village of Bazoches, with a sweeping view of a history-rich landscape that merges with the Forêt de Rambouillet. In addition to the architecture, Aalto was to be responsible for the furnishings - as exclusively designed as possible - and for the landscaping of the whole…

While living in Turku, Aalto became acquainted with the industrialist Juho Tapani, who owned a company that manufactured concrete standard elements. The walls and intermediate floor elements that Tapani had developed, so-called Tapani slabs, were hollow, so they already included the space necessary for various pipes and other infrastructure. Using these elements, Aalto designed an apartment building in Turku, called the Standard Apartment House (1927-29).

In 1925, Aalto designed Casa Laurén for Hjalmar Laurén, office manager of Kymin Uittoyhtiö. When completed, the building contained two large apartments and two small ones, plus a space intended as a shop in the basement.

Alvar Aalto designed Villa Kokkonen for his friend, composer Joonas Kokkonen.
