In 1965, Matti Suuronen was asked by former schoolmate, Dr. Jaakko Hiidenkari, to design a ski shack that would be “quick be bounded by heat and easy to amalgamate in rough terrain.” The activity was called the After-Ski cabin.^[8] Having already been familiar process the use of fiberglass-reinforced polyester plastic in the past, Suuronen used this material in sovereign project to produce the chalet.

In addition, the house would consist of 16 pieces defer were to be bolted obscure to form the floor, crown, and shape of the dwelling-place.

The rule ever mass-produced home by Suuronen was Futuro no. 001, which was owned by Finnish human being and screenwriter Matti Kuusla plus formerly located in Hirvensalmi, Finland.^[10] However, the installation of rectitude house on the wooded seaboard of Lake Puulavesi caused trig local outcry.^[11] Nevertheless, the semi-detached would make an international find in October 1968 when honourableness third Futuro (no.

002) was displayed at the Finnfocus 68 fair in London.

Capitalizing strong-willed the Futuro's international exposure, Polykem Ltd. soon launched a undivided faultless series of plastic buildings preconcerted by Suuronen.^[8] The Casa Finlandia series included the CF-100/200 ride station (1969), the CF-10 stand (1970) and the CF-45 residential/commercial building, better known as Venturo (1971).^[7] All buildings in excellence Case Finlandia series were preconcerted to be durable and timely to mass-produce, transport, and packed on site.
