一对来自卡亚尼的退休夫妇希望在市中心有一个无障碍的独栋别墅供他们退休后居住。历史悠久的小城卡亚尼是芬兰凯努地区人口最多的地方，位于赫尔辛基以北550多公里。卡亚尼建于17世纪，当时它是松油工业的一个重要城镇，松油被广泛用作海事和建筑的木材密封剂。今天，当地的经济仍然围绕着树木；锯木厂、木材和造纸业。
A retired couple from Kajaani wanted an accessible single-family home for their retirement days in the center of town. The small historical town of Kajaani is the most populous in the Kainuu region of Finland, over 550km north of Helsinki. Kajaani was founded in the 17th century when it was an important town for the pine tar industry, pine tar was used widely as a wood sealant for maritime and building construction. Still today the local economy revolves around trees; the sawmill, lumber, and paper industries.
Tervas别墅的名字也是对过去的一个点头，因为Tervas是来自松树心材的脂木，用来点火，唤起温暖的感觉，木材的香味，以及历史感。 恰如其分的是，客户对他们新家的最初设想是一个单层的木制房屋，内部和外部都使用大量的木材。尽管他们不是专业人士，但他们也有参与建筑过程的技能和意愿。
The name Villa Tervas is also a nod to the past, as Tervas is the fatwood from the heartwood of pine trees that is used to light fires, and evokes feelings of warmth, the scent of wood, and a sense of history. Fittingly, the client’s initial vision for their new home was of a timber house on a single level, with plenty of timber used both inside and out. They also had the skill and will to participate in the building process, although they were not professionals.
在卡亚尼中心找到了一个合适的地点，但它是一个街角，而且城镇规划要求建筑要高，体积要比需要的大得多。解决分区问题的办法是将建筑放在场地的角落，同时将北部留作未来可能的发展。对高屋顶的要求给了房子一个比其功能尺寸更大的框架，并为客人创造了一个有充足空间的阁楼。美丽的楼梯是由客户精心制作的，为了将来的项目，在花园尽头的车库旁边有一个工作室。
A suitable site was found in the center of Kajaani, but it was a street corner, and the town plan demanded a higher building and much more volume than was needed. The zoning issue was resolved by placing the building at the corner of the site while leaving the northern part available for possible future development. The demand for the high roof gave the house a frame bigger than its functional size and created an attic with ample space for guests. The beautiful stairs are crafted by the client, and for future projects, there is a workshop at the end of the garden beside the garage.
该建筑的方向与它在城镇景观中的位置相呼应。主入口在街道的拐角处形成了一个连接点。起居室的斜面天花板对着凯努恩卡图街道，而另一个带有卧室、书房、桑拿房和阁楼空间的侧翼则面对着沃里卡图街道。在北面，院子被车库和车间所包围。开车从凯努恩卡图（Kainuunkatu）进入场地，那里有一条带高高的顶棚的走道通往入口，这个顶棚也保护了起居室的玻璃墙免受阳光直射。院子向西边开放，那里有机会保留一些高大的松树。
The building’s orientation responds to its position within the townscape. The main entrance creates a joint at the corner of the streets. The pitched ceiling of the living room frames Kainuunkatu street, while the other wing with a bedroom, study, sauna, and attic space faces Vuorikatu street. On the northern side, the courtyard is enclosed by the garage and workshop. By car you enter the site from Kainuunkatu where a walkway with a high canopy leads to the entrance, this canopy also protects the glass wall of the living room from direct sunlight. The courtyard opens to the west where there was an opportunity to retain some tall pines.
木材的使用贯穿始终；从木制框架结构到外墙和内表面，都是由粗糙的刨花板或桦木胶合板衬托的。许多材料都有自己的历史和再利用的故事。壁炉和烟囱是由回收的砖块制成的，固定的橡木窗和楼梯，以及部分家具都是由客户制作的。花园的天然石材表面主要使用现场的石材。特尔瓦斯别墅是Arkkitehti-杂志4/2022（芬兰建筑评论）上的特色住宅。
Timber is used throughout; from the timber frame construction to the facades and inner surfaces which are lined from rough planed boards or birch plywood. Many of the materials have their own history and stories of reuse. The fireplace and chimney are made of recycled bricks and the fixed oak windows and the stairs, as well as part of the furniture, is made by the client. The natural stone surfaces of the garden mainly use stone from the site. Villa Tervas was a featured home in the Arkkitehti-magazine 4/2022 (Finnish Architectural Review).
