Paimio Sanatorium is a former tuberculosis sanatorium in Paimio, Southwest Finland, designed by Finnish architects Alvar and Aino Aalto. The Aaltos won the architectural competition for the project in 1929, and the building was completed in 1933. It soon received critical acclaim both in Finland and abroad and became one of the best-known works of Finnish modernist architecture.
