Hvitträsk is a mansion complex in Kirkkonummi, about 30 kilometres west of Helsinki. It was designed as a studio home for members of the Finnish architecture firm Gesellius, Lindgren, Saarinen, later becoming the private residence of Eliel Saarinen. The house was named after Lake Vitträsk, by which it was built. It currently operates as a museum.
