It is noteworthy today that he built up the identity with satrical architecture vocabularies, different from modern architectural idiology. The characteristics of his design related to interior architecture are collectively as follows;
The first, Space discontinuity of the interior and exterior, gradual process by joints which are inclined to collage with many shapes in plan and section of the space and such joints are adjusted by sensual ways and stressed with inner collectivity in his works.
The second, He pursued the architectural orderfor modern irreqularity, various changes and sensual harmonies. As result, free curved line, fan shape and irregular modeling were individually expressed by technics of natural features and national characteristics of Finland.
