Quality construction work and interior
design is ensured by Merko.
The Uus-Veerenni development is located in
downtown Tallinn. The cosy Veerenni district
with its established milieu is in immediate
vicinity. The other neighbours to the district
are the former factory buildings of the world-
famous Luther plywood manufacturer which
now have been remodelled into residential and
business premises.
Over the coming 10–15 years, we will build
nearly 1400 new apartments in the Uus-Veerenni
district. In addition, we plan to build a district
kindergarten and a business building to boost
local everyday life.
3 above ground building sections with 59
apartments in total are planned for the address
Pille 4 in the Uus-Veerenni Park development
area. The modern architecture of the buildings
that nevertheless blends well into the historical
surrounding is developed by the architecture
agency JVR Arhitektid OÜ.

Architecture
The authors of the architectural solution of the
building at Pille 4 are Velle Kadalipp, Kersti
Nigols and Pauliina Pähn. The apartment build-
ing is made from three separate buildings with
one joint underground car park and common
landscaped courtyard. The cosy courtyard
is designed by the landscape architect Ülle
Grišakov.
The apartment buildings smoothly continue the
Uus-Veerenni development. The modern looking
buildings blend well with the existing buildings
on Vana-Lõuna street. In designing the archi-
tectural solutions of the buildings, the architects
were inspired by the historical space and ply-
wood as a material. The Luther factory that was
located in the same district is primarily known
as an innovator of plywood production and a
plywood furniture manufacturer.
Hints to the layered structure and striped
cross-section of plywood are visible as design
elements both on the building facades and in
stair halls. The facade of the first storey section
of the buildings has vertical embossed structure.
The upper facade of the four storey buildings
is expressively stressed and covered in elon-
gated brick panels. Layered division similar to
plywood is marked by white horizontal lines
between different storeys. The panelling with
vertical wooden ribs creates an additional layer
on the facade that provides expressive play of
light and shadows on the surface. The usage of
wood provides warmth to the stone buildings.
The higher bulk of the building is curved just
like bent plywood that veers around the round-
about nearby.

Energy rating
The energy rating of the building based
on the energy calculations is 116 kWh/m2
making it compliant with the low energy
building requirements (rating B).
Constructional structures
The load bearing structure of the apartment
building is made from poured monolith rein-
forced concrete poles underground, walls and
the monolith ceiling joining them. The load
bearing frame of the above ground storeys is
made by assembled one- and three-layer rein-
forced concrete elements. The ceilings between
floors are made from 265-millimetre hollow
slabs to ensure greater sound insulation.
Interior walls
Walls between apartments are made from
reinforced concrete slabs to ensure better sound
insulation. The walls inside the apartments are
drywall covered metal frame walls. Sanitary
room walls are built from ceramsite blocks.
Balconies
The apartment balconies and inset balconies
are bordered with glass balcony borders. The
first-floor inset balconies do not have borders,
the balconies open to the terrace.
Windows
All buildings have 3-layered glass pane wood-
aluminium windows.

Interior finishing
The interior design package selection is inspired
by the location of the diverse Uus-Veerenni
district. Next to the historical area with well-
preserved wooden houses, newer architecture
has emerged that uses different materials and
creates a new and cosy environment.
For the brand-new townhouses, we offer a
selection of interior design packages that value
the character of this area and when creating
these, we wanted to ensure that each buyer
would find something to suit their taste. The
packages include darker, lighter and natural
toned solutions that suit modern and classic
interiors.
You can choose between six different living
and sanitary rooms interior design packages.
The living premise packages include various
tones of both single tile and herringbone (for
additional fee) parquets. The hall floor tile
colour is selected according to the parquet
tone. The selection includes veneered or painted
smooth doors, Northern style single-panel doors
and traditional profiled painted doors. These
are complemented by smooth or profiled door
frames and floor skirtings. The packages include
recessed lights, switches and outlets that are
either black or white, according to the selected
package. The general wall tone is creamy white
in all packages, some packages include an
additional accent wall tone.
Six different packages with different finishing
tones and patterns, such as marble, classic
light natural stone, neutral grey and bolder
metallic and terrazzo are available for the
sanitary rooms. Three options for sanitary
equipment – black, golden and chrome, fitted
with the packages – supplement the packages.
Additionally, the packages include a lighted
mirror and mixer cabinet.
The ceiling height is nearly 2.78 metres in the
apartments, the suspended ceiling height in
living rooms is nearly 2.4 and in sanitary rooms
nearly 2.3 metres.

Smart house Electricity and weak current systems
All apartments follow the smart house princi-
ples, meaning that the internal climate, entrance
and controlling different indications is managed
via automatics. The standard smart house
installation of the apartment includes operating
the heating and ventilation, doorbell system
that forwards image and sound, controlling
the electricity and warm and cold water meter
readings. The electricity and water meter read-
ings are forwarded to the building administrator
automatically. All the above-mentioned details
can be managed and observed on the screen
in the apartment or via internet.
Electricity and weak current switchboard of
the apartment is installed recessed into the
hall wardrobe wall or in the laundry room. The
electricity section of the switchboard holds the
circuit breakers and the weak current section
holds the necessary outlets for security systems,
communication joints and an open spot for
computer router and other equipment. At least
two power outlets are planned for each room.
Lights are installed in the suspended ceilings in
kitchen, halls, sauna room and sanitary rooms.
Electricity meters are remote readable and are
installed in the electrical meter located in the
car park of the apartment building.
Outlets for TV and internet are available in
living rooms. The apartment internal network is
built with Cat6 cables, these gather in the weak
current section of the switchboard and end with
RJ45 outlets. Technical availability for signing
service contracts with telephone, internet and TV
service providers is ensured.

Heating and ventilation Ventilation
The apartment buildings are connected to the
district heating system of Tallinna Küte. Water
underfloor heating that can be adjusted sepa-
rately in each room ensures comfortable interior
climate. The collector cabinets for heating pipes
are installed in the hall wardrobe or laundry
rooms. Cooling system is included in the price
of the sixth-floor penthouse apartments. The
apartment is cooled per room and it can be
controlled through the smart house system.
Apartment based forced ventilation system with
heat exchanger ensures quality air flow and
healthy indoor climate. Mechanical air injec-
tion and outflow system with heat exchange
system of the air outflow is planned for each
apartment. Master bedrooms (bedrooms with
separate bathroom) have a joint room based
air injection and outflow ventilation system with
the bathroom. Separate ventilation piping is
planned for the kitchen air extractors that leads
the air to the roof. The system needs an air
extractor with an engine to function, the extrac-
tor will be supplied and installed by the future
apartment owner.
Security
To create a safe living environment, cabling for
local security systems is available in the apart-
ments so the buyer can install equipment and
sign a security contract with a service provider.
