New Opera for Estonia

For the competition Opera by the Sea, we designed a building in a wave like shape. It's almost fully in wood to live up to the current challenges of climate friendly building. The concept includes the surrounding, public space and of course the concert hall.

Opera in Sight

Opera In Sight is the welcome door to the baltic community to Tallinn, in addition to being the physical and programmatic link of the two great conditioning factors that define the city, its port and its relationship with the Baltic Sea.

Lyric

THE TOWER

Tallinn is the perfect city to challenge the perception of the opera house as a sheltered and private venue and redefine it as a public art form. Public spaces are incorporated into the building to create a flexible community space within an opera house. Inspired by the imagery and iconography of a lighthouse, it is a beacon for the city.

Alvin and Byron

Post Estonia

Fundamentally, our proposal is a reaction to both the current architectural climate of the country and the evolving opera house paradigm. Entitled “Post Estonia”, the project is an experimental answer to the questions of “what had been established?” and “what will come next?”

Frederik and Nils

Lighthouse by the Sea

Like a rock being hit and formed by a wave the operahouse forms a strong gesture of durability and stability. While celebrating a connection of different elements, the building also stands as a metaphor for the estonian history - a lighthouse lighting a torch upon troubled waters and transforming grounds.

Opera by the Sea - Tallin's Pearl

A new building extends upwards on Tallinn's harbour bay. Referring to the coastal situation of Tallinn the leading concept of form and function was determined simply by a sea shell. Within lies a precious pearl that attracts people from all around the world. Similar to a lighthouse, the opera calls for its visitors and invites them to an unforgettable visit.

The main idea for the new opera house is to reinvent the traditional type of an opera - great architectural external effect with hidden internal processes. All internal processes of the house were insulted and could be freely experienced by a public stream of visitors. Also in its architectural form and conception, the program is been shown.

Valge Laev: An Opera House for Estonia

The Valge Laev, or “White Ship,” is a conceptual opera house that draws upon the unique correlation between music and Estonia’s struggle for independence to create a cultural hub that will serve generations to come.

Perfect Harmony

Perfect Harmony is a project which seeks the right balance between innovation and preservation, it is designed based on the key concept of harmony, iconic, and adaptiveness to the site. The form of the building is symbolic yet primitive, offering tremendous possibilities to the city and its people.

on the axis

The relation between the hozyrontal layout of the quay and the port and the city's architecture was obtained through the uplift of the building and its oval form. The division into shapes, connecting them with a common ground made it possible to obtain an interesting form in the city landscape, refer to maritime architecture and crystallized the function.

Above the Baltic

The idea was to create landmark object, that will serve as a public space and establish strong connection to the city and to the history of Tallinn. The image of the lighthouse served as an inspiration - the new opera house will be a valuable addition to the silhouettes of Tallinn historical towers.

Florian

Tallinn New Opera

When designing the building concept, the essence of the location and its history were decisive. Above all, the character of the landmark with the associated abstract terminology in the sense of Tallin‘s long-term external determination - transparency, lightness and freedom - should be transformed into architectural elements. Inside, the typology of the histo
