  • Apartment Building in Nõmme (Korterelamu Nõmmel), 2005-2013

    Located just outside of the city centre of Tallinn, a quiet residential area Nõmme is known for the first Estonian Republic time functionalistic residential buildings and pine tree forest. It has been beloved residential area for a long time. Thanks to the surroundings with rich greenery and pedestrian-oriented zone between the Nõmme centre and railway station the area foresees more dense environment.

    Located just outside of the city centre of Tallinn, a quiet residential area Nõmme is known for the first Estonian Republic time functionalistic residential buildings and pine tree forest. It has been a beloved residential area for a long time. Thanks to the surroundings with rich greenery and pedestrian-oriented zone between the Nõmme centre and railway station the area foresees more dense environment.
    Apartment building complex consists of two of 4-storey volumes, connected in the basement level. Although the volumes defined by the detail planning are articulated as different building, they are to create a whole at the same time.
    The volumes are accentuated with glass balconies and rhythm of windows. In the process of marketing named as “Coffee & Cognac” the colours of exterior walls actually reflect the internal and external colours of pine trees which grow in Nõmme area. Additionally the green coloured silk-screened glass in the balconies helps the building to blend into the surroundings, in other words the whole complex is tuned as abstracted nature.
    The public zone is treated according to the principle of black and white.

    Korterelamu kompleks asub Nõmmel – vaikses paljude poolt armastuatud eramurajoonis, mis on tuntud mitmete funktsionalistlike villade kui ka kõrge männimetsa poolest. Tänu loodusega põimivale miljööle ja Nõmme keskuse ja raudteejaama vahele kavandatud jalakäijate alale, piirkond näeb ette tihedamaks muutuva hoonestuse.
    Korterelamukompleks koosneb kahest maapealsest hooneosast: neljakorruseline osa ja kolmekorruseline osa, mis on omavahel maa-aluse parkimiskorruse kaudu ühendatud. Detailplaneeringus kaheks erineva kujuga hooneks ettenähtud mahud on käsituletud omavahel eristuvana kuid samas moodustavad terviku.
    Hoonete tahulistel mahtudel on aktsendiks klaaspiiretega rõdud ja mänguliselt paigutatud aknad. Turunduse käigus “Coffee & Cognac”iks nimetatud välisseina toonid on võetud algselt ümbruskonnas olevatest männipuukoore välimisest ja sisemisest toonist. Abstraheeritud loodust meenutavas rõdupiirdes kasutatud roheline toon aitab hoonel keskkonnda sulanduda.
    Hoone sees on ühiskasutatav osa lahendatud värvikasutuse poolest tagasihoidlikuna must/valge printsiibil.
