The three architects Herman Gesellius, Armas Lindgren and Eliel Saarinen became world famous almost immediately after graduating from the Technical University since they had planned the Finnish pavilion to the Paris World Exhibition in 1900. Immediately after this they bought a domain next to Lake Vitträsk in Kirkkonnummi, where they built Hvitträsk during the period 1901-1903. All three built a house of their own, in national romantic style, made of natural stone and logs. The differences in height on the rocky plot were skilfully used.

The main building, which was drawn by Eliel Saarinen, was built in seven levels and functions nowadays as a museum. The Saarinen family lived in the building, and all the furniture was designed by Eliel Saarinen.
