The architectural design of residential quarter located at Pirita tee 26b is developed by architecture company R-Konsult.
The architectural idea for the quarter is to develop an integrated solution that considers the existing environment, nature and human scale.
Four apartment buildings form a uniform high-quality integrated room. Taking into account both the natural relief as well as the solution for the parking floor that connects the buildings, a versatile space with terraces, green areas, playgrounds and rest areas between the buildings has been created.
The architecture of the building/buildings is greatly focused on the design of the volumes and facades of the building, creating a solution that is simple in form but aesthetically enjoyable.
Beautiful white apartments with 25m high limestone wall in the background and the sea so near give the sense of prominence and dignity today and in the future.
We are of the opinion that the entrance and the hallway are the business card of a building and we have taken it into account when designing the buildings at Pirita tee 26b. The hallways with spacious A lobby and natural light create a distinguished room.
The project authors are architects Irina Raud and Ain Kalberg, with the contribution of architect Magnar Meinart and landscape architect Kersti Lootus.
During the 23 years of activity the architecture company R-KONSULT has proved that their principle to rely on an architectural idea that considers the environment, clear functional solution and convenient use, has been a precondition for designing and building architecturally interesting and user friendly buildings.
Irina Raud, the former chief architect of Tallinn, and her experience in valuing and planning urban spaces plays an invaluable part in the framework of the Mariino project.
About the interiors at Pirita tee:
The interior finishing choices have been influenced by sharing the common room of the buildings with Tallinn’s elegant modernism and the beautiful seaside.
The apartments are built as rational and with clear volumes, with careless ease one can conceal the small things of everyday life in these apartments. The choice of materials is focused on quality and duration in time – in design as well as durability, i.e. in moral and physical sense. The light interior enables furnishing the home no matter you’re your taste is – romantic, trendy or architecture conscious.
Interior architect Liina Langemets:
I graduated from the Estonian Academy of Arts, I have practiced as an interior designer for 15 years, designed from furniture to interiors of large public buildings. My works include several prized works and demanding historical representative rooms for the state. I think that good interior architecture is based on the space’s own planning and composition of volumes and light. An ideal interior could be based on the type of life a person leads, not showing the effort that has been put into achieving it.
Energy class
The building’s (House 2) energy efficiency rating as set out in the project corresponds to energy class B for apartment buildings and the energy efficiency rating is 116 kWh/m2*a. The energy class is calculated according to the most recent applicable calculation methodology.
Basement and exterior walls
The load-bearing structures of the building rest on the monolith reinforced concrete strip-foundations.
The exterior walls of the parking floor are made of monolith or assembled reinforced concrete and hollow concrete blocks, which is filled with concrete. The external walls of the rest of the floors are made of hollow concrete blocks or concrete. The external walls are insulated according to the wall type with 200 mm mineral wool or foam polystyrene, which is covered with plaster system (tone: white) and partially ceramic façade tile (tone: white).
Interior walls
In order to ensure better soundproof quality, all load-bearing walls between the apartments and between apartments and the staircases are made of 240mm full concrete hollow concrete blocks (usual solution is 190mm block). The non-load bearing walls between apartments and between apartments and staircases are planned as so called double/layered walls, in which the stone (hollow concrete block, light block) is complemented with plasterboard-frame-wall (air between walls) or the wall is built of two layers of blocks between which there is an air gap in order to ensure soundproof quality of the walls. . The internal walls of the apartments are plaster board walls on metal structure with mineral wool insulation. The walls where you most probably would want to install kitchen cabinets, the OSB board is added under the plaster board for reinforcement. The walls of wet rooms are moisture-proof plaster tile walls.
Inserted ceilings and interior stairs
Reinforced concrete hollow panels, on top of which foam polystyrene or mineral wool is installed (insulation layer of 50 mm) in order to muffle the sound of steps and a concrete smoothing layer is made. The interior stairs are stairs made of reinforced concrete elements, which can be assembled and which are finished with ceramic tiles.
Balconies/terraces and roof
The floors of the balconies are smooth concrete. The surface of the terraces of the ground floor is wooden terrace board. The balcony barriers are made according to the architectural solution. The flat roofs of the building are the so-called reversed roofs the top surface of which is concrete.
Windows and doors
The building has wood-aluminium windows with triple glass packs. The exterior doors are glass-aluminium doors. The exterior doors of the apartments are covered with ebonized veneer, the frames are covered with similar veneer. Interior doors are flush doors with wood veneer or white interior doors (according to the specifications of the interior finishing materials)
Finishing
The interior designers have created three different finishing packages from which the future apartment owners can choose. The walls in the living quarters are painted and partially covered with wallpaper, in wet rooms, ceramic tiles are used. The floors are finished with high-quality board parquet. The toilets, bathrooms, hallways and saunas have ceramic tiles. Utility rooms and storage rooms have concrete floors with surface hardener. The ceilings in the living quarters are painted. The additional rooms, toilets, bathrooms and hallway will have plasterboard suspended ceilings.
Heating and ventilation
The heating source of the building is an autonomous gas boiler house. The apartments have water underfloor heating system, the utility rooms and staircases are heated with radiators or underfloor heating.
The air exchange of the apartments is ensured with apartment-based heat recovery injection-exhaust ventilation equipment. The ventilation equipment are installed in shafts located in the staircases.
Water supply and sewerage
The building is connected to the city’s water and sewerage network. Domestic hot water is generated locally at the gas boiler house of the building. Separate water meters are installed for apartments in the stairway.
Electricity and low current
The switchboard of the apartment has two sections – electrical and low-current part. The electricity part will have automatic fuses, for the low current part there will be alarm system, communication and TV distribution. The wash rooms and hallways of the apartments are equipped with LED lights.
In the apartments, each room will have a module outlet for telephone and/or internet, one TV outlet and the living room will have two TV outlets in different locations. The cabling will be according to Cat6 standard, which allows super-fast data communication. Door telephone system is installed in the apartments and all apartments are equipped with alarm system readiness. Outlets for loudspeakers are planned in the apartments in the main TV viewing locations and the opposite wall in order to enable connecting home cinema system’s loud speakers.
Smart Home
The building is equipped with the Smart Home solution that allows regulating the temperature of the apartment by rooms and the ventilation and air conditioning (if available in the apartment) as a whole via the controls installed in the hall of the apartment. When you are way from home, you can monitor your apartment remotely via your smart phone.
