The existing house stands inside of the courtyard among wooden houses in the area protected as the “valuable miljöö” in the outer ring of the central city of Tallinn. The existing stone structure, once served as a lemonade factory, was originally built at the beginning of 1950, stood empty for a while. The small but stone house is now to be renovated and extended for live/ work purpose for a musician. The proposal is to maximize the inner volume in the addition part within the limitation by the building code, as well as to keep privacy from the immediate neighbours through appropriate window sizes and orientation. The exterior wall is to be rendered roughly in light grey as respect to the existing building.

Hoovimaja asub puitmajade keskel miljööväärtuslikus piirkonnas Tallinna südalinna lähedal. 1950. aastate alguses ehitatud hoone toimks kunagi limonaaditehasena ning hiljem seisis tühjana. Väike, kuid atraktiivne kivimaja renoveeriti ja kohandati koos juurdeehitusega elamiseks. Juureehituse eesmärk oli maksimeerida siseruumi ning samal ajal püsida miljööväärtusliku piirkonnaga kaasnevate ehitusemääruste piires ja hoid vahetute naabritega psühholoogilist distantsi. Akende suurus ja asetus muutus antud situatsioonis võtmeküsimuseks. Austusavaldusena vanale hoonele on välissein krohvitud helehalliks.
