Harjula, Kivelä and Kontio
The plan of the housing blocks resembles the Mäntylä and Honkala blocks. However, unlike these, the external walls are traditional red brick, which have been given a lightly rendered and white-washed finish. A novelty was the small balconies for the two room flats.

Apartment buildings Harjula, Kivelä and Kontio
The apartment buildings were built in 1938-1939. They form the second stage of development for workers’ flats in Sunila. These buildings mostly have similar apartments of one to two rooms as Honkala and Mäntylä, but there are some larger apartments as well. These three-storey apartment blocks that are positioned in a fan-like shape on the hill have small balconies. The material for the outer walls is again lightly rendered and white-washed red brick.
