A valuable accommodation is showcased in a deviant and sophisticated manner on 4th July 2020 in Hanko, the southernmost city of Finland. The intention is not only to inaugurate and sell the newly renovated unique apartment, but to offer an architectural experience and to awaken sentiments from the turn of the century in style of La Dolce Vita - cocktail event. Potential buyers are invited to one of Hanko's finest houses designed by Lars Eliel Sonck in the late 1800s, to enjoy sparkling French wine with delicacies and to listen to live classical music and mini-seminars on spa life, building art and quality living trends, as well as to participate in a theatrical performance. The dress code "smart elegant" is in tribute to the Art Nouveau's noble cultural history and the renovation of utmost finesse.

Jari Ahlqvist from Designapoteket / Byggnadsapoteket Partner offers a different exclusive experience around the 141m2 spacious and bright apartment on Boulevard 20, which has been restored / renovated with utmost accuracy for three years. Absolutely everything has been renewed, and luxurious amenities included, yet with great respect for the spirit of the turn of the century.

“Sonck's house in Hanko deserves only the best. It is an honor for me to present Sonck's cultural history works. Characteristic of the State House and the famous house of Lignell, which has also served as an elegant railway hotel and command center for the Hanko coastal battery, is the original decorative staircase with original paintings from the turn of the century. And the original bank vault. Absolutely extraordinary! Only traditional materials such as linseed oil paints, glue paints and authentic wallpapers based on glue ink printing have been used in the apartment. The coastal battery commander's workspace has been given extra consideration”, describes the architectural maintenance expert Ahlqvist passionately, and adds that a lovely beach and cute ice-cream kiosk are located at the other end of the Boulevard.

Spa life in the golden era of the Czars 

Lars Sonck is one of Finland's foremost turn of the century architects. His versatile production and individual style are impressive. His best-known works include Eira Hospital, Mikael Agricola and Berghäll Church in Helsinki, City Hall, Navigation School and City Church in Mariehamn, Finnish president's summer residence Kultaranta in Naantali, Jean Sibelius residence Ainola in Järvenpää and Hotel Regatta in Hanko. Like the Russian tsar family and its entourage, who regularly spent their summers in Hanko, Lars Sonck equally appreciated Hanko's natural beauty and diversity. The Golden Age of the Russian Empire. Happy summer days in an aristocratic bathhouse environment in Hanko. The Boulevard's emperor linden trees embellished the main street already at Sonck’s time, alike the same trees do today.
