The development was started when the plot was purchased by the company in 1901. The construction was mostly completed by 1903.<ref name="historiaa">{{cite web |title=Hvitträsk Historiaa |url=http://kansallismuseo.fi/fi/hvittraesk/historiaa |website=Kansallismuseo |date=23 January 2018 |accessdate=28 June 2020}}</ref><ref name="museot">{{cite web |title=Hvitträsk |url=https://www.museot.fi/searchmuseums/?museo_id=21339 |website=Museot |accessdate=28 June 2020}}</ref><ref name="visitespoo">{{cite web |title=Hvitträsk Museum |url=https://www.visitespoo.fi/en/service/hvittrask-museum/ |website=Visit Espoo |accessdate=28 June 2020 |archive-date=25 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230325204224/https://www.visitespoo.fi/en/service/hvittrask-museum/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="restauroi">{{cite web |title=Hvitträsk, Kirkkonummi |url=http://museovirastorestauroi.nba.fi/museot/hvittrask |website=Museovirasto Restauroi |accessdate=28 June 2020}}</ref> The house was named after Lake {{ill|Vitträsk|fi}}, beside which it was built. [H]vitträsk literally means ''White Lake.'' Today Hvitträsk is a museum open to the public. The red-roofed manor structure facing the lake is the main museum building, and the brownish structure separated on the other side by a yard is the cafeteria. There is also a smaller sauna down by the lake.<ref name="rky">{{cite web |title=Hvittärskin ateljeehuvila |url=http://www.rky.fi/read/asp/r_kohde_det.aspx?KOHDE_ID=948 |website=Valtakunnalliset merkittävät rakennetut kulttuuriympäristöt RKY |accessdate=28 June 2020}}</ref>
