Hvitträsk is a mansion complex in Kirkkonummi, Finland, about 30 kilometers west of Helsinki, designed in 1903 by the Finnish architectural partnership Gesellius, Lindgren, and Saarinen as a combined studio and residence. Built from timber and stone in the Art Nouveau and National Romantic styles, the estate exemplifies early twentieth-century Nordic design sensibilities. Originally conceived as a shared workspace and home for the three founding partners, Hvitträsk later became the private residence of Eliel Saarinen, one of Finland's most influential architects. Today it operates as a museum and is protected as a Cultural Heritage Site of National Significance under Finnish heritage legislation.
