Sõpruse pst 31

Tallinn, Estonia

2003

The building is fitted in its specific context in a way that the 5-story volume of the building facing Sõpruse avenue starts to recede with terraces towards the residential area behind the building. As a result the big apartment building has on its morning/south side a private area with roof gardens that are open to the sun.

The rooms facing the gardens have sliding doors and one war day one can connect the two to fully enjoy the terraces. The terraces are covered with clay stone which in comparison with concrete does not accumulate the cold and is warmer and friendlier. The façade is also covered with red clay stone with brown and black “dots” (stones) to add character.
