Mökki Riihiniemi – exterior in transition
The renovation of the exterior façade at Mökki Riihiniemi was a big step: from removing the old cladding and installing a protective membrane to finishing with new Finnish board-and-batten siding. With lots of own effort and the support of Workawayers, a weatherproof and beautiful protection for the house was created. Now we can focus on the interior work. The holiday home will be available for booking from June 2026.
