Andrus Kõesaar

Andrus Kõresaar is the co-founder and partner at the largest Estonian architecture office KOKO architects, created in 2000. He is a flying creative mind in many ways. After the initial success as the designer of the Estonian pavilion at Hannover EXPO 2000, Kõresaar went on to fill Tallinn with landmark buildings from old industrial sites, museums to the city’s only synagogue. While working on the Seaplane Harbour – the Europa Nostra 2013 Grand Prix winning maritime muuseum reconstruction Project – he wanted to get to know the topic in depth and learned to fly. KOKO architects’ passion is rethinking old buildings, the conversion of old into new, always in a bold and unexpected way.
