The site is located in Tartu at the boader of the city centre and Supilinn neighbourhood. We were asked to harmonize with the surrounding atmosphere.
The location enables the building to bridge between two neigbourhoods. The centre is characterized by 3 to 5-storey stone buildings and the Supilinn neighbourhood is by 1 to 2-storey wooden apartment buildings.
The site is located in Tartu at the border of the city centre and Supilinn neighbourhood. We were asked to harmonize with the surrounding atmosphere.
The location enables the building to bridge between two neigbourhoods. The centre is characterized by 3 to 5-storey stone buildings and the Supilinn neighbourhood is by 1 to 2-storey wooden apartment buildings.
The street-side volumes are designed according to the adjacent buildings with pitched-roof and the in-between block is to create cozy courtyard protected from the traffic noise.
The discreet volume of the building is accentuated by balconies and roof articulation.
