A house in Suurupi, 2015 Co- Author: Ivo- Sven Riet
A reconstruction of an old yard house and an extension. The existing house was a one storey flat roof building on wooden structure in the shape of two cubes. The new building joins the two cubes into a whole, one under the roof storey will be added. The home will be accomodated by a family of four, parents and two children. The main living area will be on the first floor and bedrooms under the roof on the second floor. The reconstructed house is 132 square meters. The first floor plan follows the sun, the rooms where the family will spend most of their time, such as kitchen, dining and livingroom will get most of the light during the daytime. The morning sun will come through windows and roofwindows on the eastern facade to give light on the kitchen table. The daytime and evening light will shine to the livingroom and dining table area.

Arhitektide kasvuhoone, Restoration of Tallinn Watertower, 2014 Tallinn University of Technology Co- Authors: Anna Temmo, Ivo- Sven Riet
Situation at the moment At the moment the Tallinn water tower which is connected by walls with Tallinn College is out of use. As the tower is now in the hands of Architecture institute, new functions for are architecture students and also for the citizens are meant to be given to it. The height of the tower is 33.8 m, and diameter 13.7m. Tere are four concrete levels and a high atrium inside the tower, built in the late 20th century. The water tower still has its original water tank at the top. The attic of the Tallinn College building is not in use right now but it will accomodate new rooms for the Architecture Institute. The aim is to plan a modelling studio and chill-out area with a kitchen so that the whole attic could be used 24/7.
Tower As we were fascinated about the space inside the tower, which was practically screaming for temporary installations, we decided not to pull down or destroy allmost anything inside of it. The firs floor and fist level will be an exhibition area open for citizens ,the nex three levels will also be exhibition areas, but only for the institute students. The current water tank will be transformed into an auditorium. Attic The attic will be restorated in a way that destroys as little as possible. All the existing columns will stay in place and they are used as space dividers. The attic is planned in a way that different functions will cause people to move around (i.e. between the library and modeling area) and that will make it easier for students to start communication with each other.

Keerdus, EeStairs Design Competition, 2014 Co- Authors: Anna Temmo, Ivo- Sven Riet
Explanation motivation: For competition task we chose a building in Tallinn city centre that dates back to 1935. It was extended in 1958 and is currently under heritage protection. Two years ago an architecture school was opened in this building. The school has a plan to adapt the attic for students studio. There are two main problems that need to be solved. First, the attic doesn’t have enought natural sunlight. Second in order to fulfill the emergency requirements a second exit to the third floor needs to be built. We decided to solve the natural light problem by introducing additional dormer windows and use them as a binding element for solving second exit problem. For the second exit we decided to design an exterior staircase between the third floor and the attic to save as much indoor space as we could. There was no need for a new opening in the facade because of existing balcony on the third floor. As these balconies are on every floor, it leaves an opportunity to extend the staircase or add an elevator and create connection with all remaining floors.
Explanation design The stair is a light, sculptural form that gives a hint about the architecture school. It has an unconventional style with glass floor and ceiling and solid walls. The stair’s fraimwork consists of four prefabricated steel beams and diagonal connections. The lower support structure is made of modular elements which form the steps. As walls finishing we chose brushed cement rendering with a conceptual translucent skyline using optic fiber. The staircase’s roof and floor are made of glass panes on steel framework.
Emajõe Business Centre and Tartu Bus Station Surroundings Vision Competition, 2013 Co- Authors: Ivo- Sven Riet, Priit Lõhmus
Competition task There are lots of business enterprises near Emajõe Business Centre and Tasku shopping centre. The area is visited by lots of people dayly. There is also a bus terminal in the area. The competition was organised to find a solution around the bus station and business centre that would be human friendly and also rethink the spacial identity of Tartu´s new city centre and harbour area.

the front of the bus station and shopping mall is boardened and turned into an area for pedestrians and cyclists. To activize the street, the existing covering will be built closed so that little shops and
Jury´s comment:
“The solution connects the whole competition area into one whole public space that is mainly oriented for pedestrians, which is a proposal we approve. Calming down the traffic with pavement is widely used and very European approach. The handwriting of this work is sensitive, but in such a large area unreal and economically too expensive. The L-shaped public shape turns around Dorpat Hotel and connects Soola street with the riverside. The design is unique and clever. As a positive aspect wewould bring forth the wide pedestrian area in front of the bus station and the riverside solution. There might not be room for a small boat harbour. Unfortunately there is no place forr kiss&go parking space. The wavy roofed bycycle parks are nice but very expensive and too far away from the building entrances.”

Installation “City Canon” and MAKETT 1:1 Street Intervention Co- Authors of “City Canon”: Anna Temmo, Karel Kask, Andres Ristov, Aleksandra Papunova Exhibited: on Street Intervention “MAKETT 1:1” on Mere Street in Tallinn; Architecture School´s Exhibition at Tallinn Architecture Biennale 2013; on top of Musumägi (Kissing Hill) at Tallinn Light Biennale 2013
“A street intervention by young architects describes in 1:1 scale – i.e. in the existing urban space – what could a modern city street for a diverse user base feel like. Our most important goal is to re-establish the street as a natural space for the city’s inhabitants. This intervention is as an experimental tool in the hands of future architects. It is a way to evaluate real changes in the street during the planning process.” by MAKETT 1:1
“„City Canon“ was inspired by discussion on urban proportions and dimensions. Tallinn is a heterogeneous structure of different neighborhoods. The urban space conceals a higher potential than we see being used today. This experiment aims to turn people’s attention to it by creating a contrasting space which is unfamiliar to what we feel and see everyday. This installation was originally designed and prepared for a street intervention “M1:1 - a 1:1 Scale Model of a Modern Sity Street”” by Tallinn Light Biennale

important part of the solution is creating a new health track which will be connected to the exitsting recreation area near Paala lake.The pedestrian way will go all around the park and it will have several resting points with sitting opportunities. The new resting points will have new greenery around them, where amongst other trees, fruit trees will be planted.
The Hansaetic Cities models will be exhibited on a surrounded area, near the most importat pathway of the park. The exhbition area is 3700 sqm, from which 650 sqm is on the island. 24 towns (51%) will have their models on inner land and 19 (39%) by the “sea� and 5 towns on the island. There are three different sizes for model areas. The smallest are 20sqm, the middle ones 40sqm and the biggest ones are 60sqm. Minihansa exhibition area is placed on a concrete ground with different levels.The concrete area extends in front of the exhibition area, giving some room for visitor groups to gather before entering. The area can also be used for holding small public events.

PEACE
NOISE
noise barrier + pedestrain road = torus The IDEA of Torus is to combine noise barrier with a safe pedestrian and/or cycling road. The construction of Torus is based on steel frame.Torus consists of modules which can be added or taken away if neccessary. The modules are closed from highway side and open to park or residental area. Torus also gives an opportunity to design a bridge accross the highway. The construction can be done in a way that it would look like like a stretched module.
