Masters thesis project

2024

Tallinn, Estonia

The property at Võrgu Street 9 is located in a highly sought-after neighbourhood. The property has a sea view and is very close to the city center and the harbour. Consequently, real estate prices in that area are quite high. 

The co-housing building at Võrgu 9 is designed so that all necessary amenities are included in the residential units, and the shared functions add extra value.

Many of the building’s functions are also aimed at the public and the wider Kalamaja (and Tallinn) community. The plot is 1700 square meters in area and is situated between Suur-Patarei and Võrgu streets. The height difference between these streets is 6.5 meters, which creates exciting opportunities for building design.

The shared functions include: 

Restaurant, rental spaces, 16-place undergroundparking lot, gym with dressing rooms and a sauna, laundry, workshop, music studio, shared living room / dining hall, hybrid cafe with co-working spaces, children’s play room, media room, greenhouse, roof gardens and roof terraces, outdoor kitchen, sauna and a party room.
