Ranging in size from 20-200 m² these residenc- es feature open planning and balconies, while high ceilings, carefully considered solutions and high-quality interior finishing add to the sense of grandeur. The property caters to those in search of a more modest place to call home as well as one’s preferring a lavishly spacious city apart- ment. The building is being fully reconstructed, in the course of which two further storeys boast- ing a unique facade design will be added to it. 8 9 GONSIORI 9 AMBASSADOR’S LOCATION IN THE HEART OF THE CITY, SURROUNDED BY PARKS AND DOWNTOWN HIGHRISES, WILL CREATE A LIVING ENVIRONMENT THAT OFFERS RESIDENTS A WIDE RANGE OF RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. AN OUTSTANDING BUILDING IN A UNIQUE LOCATION Ambassador is an historical building in the very heart of the city which stands out for its eye-catching architecture. With the help of modern technology and innovative solutions it will gain a totally new lease on life as a luxury apartment building.

In the luxuriously designed lobby, the residents are assisted by a concierge who also provides further security in the building. The lobby will also have a private resting area with sofas and a bookshelf. Thanks to the smart mailboxes, all packages and purchases are always conveniently received. 26 27 A GARAGE WITH A CAR LIFT The parking in Ambassador is solved with a comfortable indoor parking area. The parking spaces are located on the first three floors of the building, connected with a car lift. All parking floors are connected with the main building lift, taking you up to the flats. 30 31 A COURTYARD FULL OF GREENERY The courtyard in front or Ambassador will be as beautiful as the building itself. The grand entrance will be bordered with greenery and accentuated with cosy lighting leading to the door and seating areas for enjoying the buzzing evenings of the city centre. During the warmer months, there will also be an outdoor terrace for the restaurant. 34 35 TERRACES WITH PICTURESQUE VIEWS Most Ambassador homes will have a balcony, terrace or a roof top terrace overlooking the highrises in the city centre business district, the Old Town and the green courtyard area in front of the house. Enjoy your summer mornings drinking coffee on the terrace or spend fun evenings with your friends in the city centre evening glow. 38 39 A LA CARTE RESTAURANT AT YOUR OWN HOME The ground floor of Ambassador will have an a la carte restaurant with a private entrance through the main lobby. The restaurant provides the residents with the possibility to order top notch gourmet meals directly to your home for family dinners or more festive parties with your friends. 42 43 ARCHITECTURE AN ELEGANT URBAN RESIDENCE “Ambassador’s architectural design, which has been thought out to the smallest detail, was inspired by a vision to transform it into an elegant city centre residence that will add value to the heart of Tallinn for decades to come. What makes the building so distinctive is its top two penthouse style floors, whose facades feature a combination of novel design solutions and finishing materials. Adding an accent to the dark grey rendered wall of the main facade, which itself features eye-catching vertical decor, are the golden tones of the window frames and smaller details that work so well against it.” JANAR BLEHNER architect 46 47 ACROSS SEVEN FLOORS, THERE ARE APARTMENTS WITH BALCONIES, TERRACCES AND HIGH CEILINGS, WICH BOAST BREATHTAKING WIES AON THE OLD TOWN, DOWNTOWN GLASS HIGHRISES, GREEN PARKS AND THE SEA. MODERN COMFORTS While at home in your Ambassador residence you will enjoy both peace and quiet and complete privacy: the stone walls and concrete ceilings between the apartments will ensure effective soundproofing. You will also be shielded from the noise of the city centre by the triple-glazed windows in the apartments. Underfloor heating that can be adjusted in each room will make your home a truly warm one, while fresh air will be supplied to the apartments by heat recovery ventilation systems. And as you would rightly expect of a modern urban residence, cooling and smart home solutions will also be able to be installed. Parking will also be very convenient, with spaces on the first three floors of the building aided by a car lift. 50 51 INTERIOR A TRULY POLISHED COMBINATION “In designing the interior of the apartment building we were inspired by some of the most sought after new developments in cities around the world, weaving these ideas together with the architectural nuances of the existing building. High doors and ceilings will give the completed spaces their characteristic appearance.” LILIA KRISTIANSON REET HELISABETH KARM interior architects 56 57 DESIGN YOUR DREAM HOME By designing your own home in the Ambassador residence you have the opportunity to contribute to its planning and, should you wish, to combine elements of the Premium and Deluxe packages. The apartment price includes the Premium interior design package. The Deluxe package is available for an additional fee. Should you wish to further personalise your interior finish, you can devise your own solution and design the home of your dreams to suit your taste.* * When purchasing an apartment during the construction phase you may design your own interior until the deadline set by the developer. This condition applies to the interior design solution, combining the packages as well as changing the layout. 60 61 THE DELUXE PACKAGE INCLUDES LUXURIOUS TILES IN THE HALLWAY AND BATHROOM CUSTOM BATHROOM TILING PLANS SPECIALLY COMMISSIONED FURNITURE IN THE BATHROOM AND A MIRROR THE CHOICE BETWEEN A TILED OR A FREE-STANDING STONE BATHTUB SAUNA WITH A HANDY CONTROLLER FOR THE HEATER CORNICES IN THE LIVING ROOM AND BEDROOM CEILINGS ADJUSTABLE LIGHTING IN THE LIVING ROOM HAND-WOVEN NATURAL CARPETING IN THE BEDROOM SMART HOME SOLUTION COOLING SYSTEM 64 65 INTERIOR PACKAGE DELUXE 1 This package is characterised by classic beige colours, with an accent of chocolate-brown.

Its windows overlook the highrise business district, whose silhouette can be admired both during the day, as the sun glints off the glass facades of the buildings, and at night in the twinkle of the city lights. 80 81 10 THE CAPITAL IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND Ambassador is located in the centre of the historic and modern Tallinn within a short walk from parks, the sea, the Old Town and the business district of the city 5 centre.

After years of studying, I can proudly say that I finished eve- rything and that I am graduated. My studying career was a quite a long one and not always that easy, but it has been a wonderful time where I have learned many things and developed myself. The pro- cess of the master thesis, from the beginning till the end, reflects these previous years perfectly. Alt- hough I am the one who will receive the degree, I could not have done this without the support and help of many during the years of studying in general and during the writing of this thesis in particular. Therefore I would like to thank the ones who helped and supported me. I want to start by thanking my colleagues at Estonian Holidays and especially Maila Saar, Lars Saar and Mari-Liis Makke.

  • Recycling Viru Keskus
    ESTONIAN URBANISTS' REVIEW 15 FIELD NOTES Väike-Õismäe Urban Walk at TAB. Photo: Keiti Kljavin Keiti Photo: TAB. at Urban Walk Väike-Õismäe RECYCLING VIRU KESKUS FRANCISCO MARTÍNEZ, Department of Anthropology, Tallinn University In September 2013 the second Tallinn Architecture Biennale (TAB) was organised, this time under the catchy headline ‘Recycling Socialism’. The program was composed of multiple events, such as a symposium (half of the presentations with an arguable interest) and an architectural vision compe- tition reflecting upon the Väike-Õismäe neighbourhood. Additionally several exhibitions (e.g. in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Linnahall), workshops (e.g. Failed Architecture in Rapla), excursions (organised by the Estonian Urban Lab), and informal gatherings (e.g. TAB lounge, Gala…) took place. Having a background in journalism, political economy and anthropology, it won’t be me who judges the technical architectural aspects of the program. I guess I was not invited to do that either. Quite probably the editors of this review want to get an outsider’s opinion; someone who deploys a different approach and raises alternative questions. In that sense, I’m a doppel outsider, a strang- er in the field of urban planning and architecture and a foreigner in Estonia. A colleague of mine told me that the qualitative loop that has occurred from the first to the second edition of Tallinn Architecture Biennale is impres- sive. It is worth a mention that most of this great work was done by a group of architects from an office called b210. A second colleague told me that the curators managed to create a tiger structure almost from nothing, from scratch.

  • Portfooliosasi Low Reso.Pdf
    AASMAA 2018-2020 ARTIST STATEMENT I strongly believe that clothes have the power to shift attitudes in society. My creations try to look at society’s pitfalls through humour and thus find relief on them. The collections I have made focus on breaking prejudice and being able to see at least a tiny bit of beauty in everything. My main focus in the past years has been discussing Estonian-Rus- sian integration topics through fashion. The interesting part in it is the constant change of society. My purpose is to show that by ac- cepting someone else’s culture you don’t have to give up your own traditions. And it’s a two-way-street. My designs are blurring the lines between traditional mens- and womenswear, offering loads of colours, textures and personal experiences. The garments are produced locally using natural but also deadstock materials. This current portfolio showcases the last four bigger projects during the past 2 years.

  • There Are Many Churches and Chapels That Are of Interest in the Eastern Part of Harju County, Which All Pilgrims Should Take a Look At
    There are many churches and chapels that are of interest in the eastern part of Harju County, which all pilgrims should take a look at. The routes are recommended, and largely run away from major highways, allowing visitors the enjoyment of Harjumaa’s beautiful sights, all of its natural and cultural sights and its fishing villages and new settlements, life on mainland and life on small islands. The choice of transport is up to the pilgrim. You can travel on foot or by bicycle. There are places that you can reach by train. The most convenient option is to travel by car, but the areas around the capital have a good network of cycle and pedestrian tracks which is excellent for travelling by bicycle. PILGRIMAGE ROUTES IN EAST HARJUMAA ROUTE Tallinn-Viru Square - Viimsi Peninsula - Maardu - Jõelähtme Municipality - Kuusalu Town - Leesi & Juminda Peninsula - Loksa City - Viinistu Village - Raasiku Town - Pikva Village - Kose Town - Jüri Town - Kostivere - Tallinn Tallinn The pilgrimage to Harjumaa starts in Tallinn, and first of all we recommend heading towards Viimsi Peninsula. You can take bus No. 1 from the bus terminal in Viru Keskus in the heart of Tallinn or go by bicycle, on foot, or by car. When you start your journey, you will first have to use Pirita Road to reach the small town of Haabneeme, and thereafter you travel towards Püünsi. If you travel by bicycle, you can use the bicycle and pedestrian track. The entire Viimsi Peninsula is covered with bicycle and pedestrian tracks and the peninsula is very safe to travel around.
