Ülesanne oli muuta energiasäästlikumaks Nõukogude-aegne amortiseerunud tüüpne korterelamu. Soojustada fassaadid ning laiendada ja rekonstrueerida hoone esised varikatused.
Kaasajastamaks esifassaadi ning lõhkuda harjumuspärast paneelelamu rütmikat on akende ümber kavandatud vaba paigutusega valged ruudud. Tekib valgete pindade väli, mis ei hoia rangelt kinni korruse jaotusest, akende rivist, korterite jaotustest.
Mängleva, kuid samas tugeva linnaehitusliku mõttega välisilme on saanud ka peasissepääsud trepikodadesse. Kavandatud varikatus külgseintega on otsekui arhetüüpne viilkatusega majake, mille otsaseinast saab sisse astuda. Viilkatusega sissepääsud sobituvad linnaehituslikult Seminari tänava ääres paiknevate eramajadega, mis on samuti viilkatusega madalad hooned. Sissepääsud on kavandatud puidust, katus laudiskattega, külgseinad vertikaalsest laudisest. Kõik laudise osad on tõrvatud ilmastikukindluse ja lõhnakogemuse eesmärgil üle männitõrvaga.
The task was to make a typical Soviet-era depreciated typical apartment building more energy efficient. Insulate the facades and expand and reconstruct the front canopies of the building.
In order to modernize the front facade and break the usual rhythm of the panel house, free-standing white squares have been designed around the windows. There is a field of white surfaces that does not strictly adhere to the division of the floor, the row of windows, the division of apartments.
The main entrances to the stairwells have also got a playful, but at the same time strong urban design exterior. The planned canopy with side walls is like an archetypal house with a pitched roof, the end wall of which can be entered. Entrances with gabled roofs are suitable for private houses located on Seminari Street, which are also low-rise buildings with gabled roofs. The entrances are designed of wood, the roof is covered with board, the side walls are made of vertical board. All parts of the board are tarred with pine tar for weatherproof and odor experience.
