Biography
Gesellius graduated from the Polytechnical Institute in 1897.[1] In 1896 he founded the architecture firm Gesellius, Lindgren, Saarinen with Armas Lindgren and Eliel Saarinen.[2][3][4]
The most famous work projected under his own name is the Wuorio House ("Wuorion talo") at Unioninkatu 30, Helsinki. Gesellius designed it from 1908 to 1909, and Lindgren completed it from 1913 to 1914. It also features sculptures by Felix Nylund.[2]
Gesellius withdrew from architectural work in 1912 because of a serious illness. He died in 1916 from a tuberculotic disease.[2]
