Kalasadama Hotel

The new hotel is situated in a privileged location at the foot of Tallinn's historic centre and on the northern seafront of the city, next to the Lina Hall monument and facing the Baltic Sea.
The project idea seeks to enhance these visual relationships and turn the new hotel into a perfect object from which to contemplate the best views of the city.

To do this, the volume is separated to the south of the future five-storey block defined by the urban plan, generating a system of summer terraces in the building that illuminate rooms such as the spa and conference rooms. This movement creates a recessed, south-facing façade that looks towards the historic city centre free of visual obstacles.
This first movement of separation gives the main volume of the hotel an emphatic and powerful form. The triangular volume with rounded corners and a large courtyard or garden inside. Three façades for three landscapes; the historic centre of Tallinn, the Lina Hall monument and finally the imposing views of the Baltic Sea.
In the end, this beautiful and emphatic object synthesises with its form the importance of its position in the city by creating a hotel structure that minimises travel and maximises the use of human and energy resources.
