Villa Tammekann in 2013

... that the bank initially refused to provide a mortgage for the Alvar Aalto-designed 1932 house, Villa Tammekann (in Tartu), until its flat roof was replaced by a pitched one? Source: "Especially the flat roof proved problematic: despite two attempts to construct it, the roof could not be made fully waterproof, and Mrs Tammekann refused to set foot in the house and is known to have protested heavily to Aalto. For a time, the bank even set a pitched roof as a condition of the mortgage."
