A series of pavilions in a Soviet microdistrict in Tallinn, designed to activate the space between the buildings.
Situated along the busy Laagna street, the project introduces a human-scale public space that offers leisure and entertainment opportunities for the local community.
Designed to be fully accessible, the space welcomes people of all ages and abilities.
A variety of functions such as reading, food sharing, play, and market stalls were chosen, based on local community feedback.
The design draws inspiration from its surroundings: pastel-coloured balconies, facades, weathered concrete panels and well rings.
Most of the furniture is custom-made, maximising the use of leftover plywood and pine cutouts from the pavilions.
