The studio was a next step from the autumn course, wherein we were planning the general typologies of the area Veerenni.
Making the module
The modules are arranged in spaces, which are 12×12 m, which means that the space can be divided starting from 3 meters – toward 6 and 9 meters wide. The modular apartment buildings are divided into four, in which the first one is apartments (possibly rental space), second for the common rooms, thirdly apartments belonging to the owner of buildings and the fourth one is possibly devoted to the circulation and staircase.
Courtyard houses
The housing inbetween higher, L size modular houses and the street are ”courtyard houses”. That is following the existing regions in Tallinn, where some of the smaller houses are in the garden spaces with a distance from the bigger streets. The possible borders could come from the growing plants surrounding some of the inner green areas and separation from the pedestrian road.
Repeating the modules
allows the client to choose between different types of reoccuring modules, which could more often be the circulation spaces.
Apartment modules
give a choice between different kind of apartment sizes for the different needs of the user, for example 18 m2 (3×6), 32 m2 (6×6) and 72 m2 (12×6).
Optional modules
In addition to the living spaces, there are optional modules to choose from, for example cabinet, terrace, sauna, greenhouse, meeting room, offices and galleries.
