Nature house Taru
Nature House is a new landmark of timber architecture planned for Tallinn’s seaside area and set to become the largest public timber building in Estonia. The complex has a planned gross floor area of 24,660 m² and consists of three buildings connected underground: the Dock House, the City House, and a museum building with a distinctive triangular form.

Serial renovation with timber panels
Serial renovation with timber panels
Serial renovation is an innovative approach, where an existing apartment building is being transformed using industrialized timber-based renovation solutions. The site that will be visited is a part of the SOFTacademy initiative, which focuses on accelerating the renovation of Europe's building stock through digitalization, industrialized processes, and sustainable construction methods.

The main structures of the building, designed by Architectural Bureau LUMIA, are made of glue-laminated wood and cross-laminated timber and it is the first high-rise with a timber structure in Estonia. Architectural bureau LUMIA partnered with TalTech and ETH Zurich universities in designing the building.
