Studio Aalto, designed by Alvar Aalto in 1955–56, is a house in the Tiilimäki neighbourhood of Munkkiniemi, Helsinki, built to serve as the studio for Aalto's growing architect bureau. Regarded as one of his finest works from the 1950s, the building was constructed to accommodate the increased demands of numerous commissions. Today it forms part of the Alvar Aalto Museum, adjacent to Villa Aalto—the architect's former home and office—and houses both the Alvar Aalto Academy and the museum's Architectural Heritage Department. In 2026, Studio Aalto was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site alongside twelve other works by Aalto.
