The mixed-use development is located right at the heart of the new city of Tallinn. The large-scale urban infill project is envisioned to become a gateway to the port area from the city centre, as well as a key connection point to the on-going redevelopment in the Rotermann Quarter next door.

When we got the commission, we wondered how to design an inner-city shopping centre without losing connection to the surroundings. Our approach was to treat differently three corridors or passages running through the complex in order to articulate the building volume and functions: Our approach was to treat those passages as a vehicle to create different characters in urban environment by articulating of the building volumes and distributing requested functions: up-scale retail, restaurants, offices and apartments. All 193 apartments and offices are equipped with balconies or terraces to enjoy exclusive private space at this very city centre.
