The project is based on the placement set in the zoning plan. Perimetric alignment of the houses along sidewalks on the borders of the lot is common in the Pelgulinna area in Tallinn. But as cardinal points are very important when designing apartment buildings we had to make an exception in this case. While the alignment is followed in the corners of the plot the buildings between have been moved inside as much as possible. This enables to capture more sun on the south side. Additionally, it opened up room for parking spaces on the north side.
