Skyscraper rises in Tallinn cityscape
Casual Recap of Tallinn's New Skyscraper
Yo, here's the lowdown on Tallinn's upcoming skyscraper called "Lumière." Located at Tartu Maantee 17, near the Stockmann shopping center, this bad boy is a joint effort between French and Estonian architects.
The design competition for the skyscraper had a massive turnout, with 87 architectural teams from all over the world submitting their ideas. And the winning ticket went to a design that champions eco-friendly living right in the heart of Tallinn's bustling center.
"Lumière" will stand at approximately 125 meters tall, in line with other high-rise buildings in the Maakri neighborhood. It'll include residential, commercial, and public spaces, with some cool amenities like a café, restaurant, art gallery, or wellness center. And let's not forget about the stunning panoramic city view from the public viewing platform!
This new addition to Tallinn's skyline is all about balancing nature and urban life. Internationally acclaimed architect Marcelo Joulia (who's worked on projects in Paris, Dubai, Shanghai, and Buenos Aires) is on the team, and he says the design is all about incredible sustainability and innovation.
"Lumière" will be built opposite Stockmann, near the intersection of Rävala, Pronksi, Liivalaia, and Tartu Maantee. Excited yet? Me too!
(Here's some food for thought: Tallinn's current tallest building is the Radisson Blu Hotel Olümpia, standing at 117 meters. If "Lumière" fits the bill as a skyscraper, it'll likely tower over 150 meters. Potential locations for such a structure include sites like Ülemiste City or Port of Tallinn, boasting mixed-use zones filled with offices, residences, and public spaces. In terms of design, expect "Lumière" to feature solar panels, rainwater harvesting systems, and other eco-friendly elements to reduce its environmental footprint.)
