Kuressaare day center hall extension - interior architecture work project stage
with Annika Lill (lill.studio), Karli Luik, Johan Tali (molumba)
The hall serves as a universal living room where the older generation can enjoy various events, from concerts to knitting circles. The atmosphere is cozy and homely, like a club house.
The hall is elongated and extends from the existing dining hall to the street front, where it ends with the old limestone masonry of Kuressaare. The archetypal end wall dictated the shape of the room, and the gabled roof with one row of skylights gives character to the interior architecture.
The building includes a hall and auxiliary rooms, and the hall is designed as an empty space that can be adapted for various events. Curtains hidden in wall cabinets allow the room to be divided into up to three parts. The old building and the new hall are connected by a fully opening transition wall.

The material for this rather small interior space was chosen with great care to keep the room spacious and cozy. Lightly stained birch plywood covers the entire room, and the back wall of the hall is covered with perforated plywood boards to improve acoustics. A partition wall was designed on one side of the hall with built-in cupboards containing inventory, communications, and partition curtains. The ceiling is covered with a special acoustic plaster system. Black accent details add contrast to the light background, such as window frames, door fittings, lights, switches and sockets, and metal parts of the hall chairs.
The hall is connected to the existing building volumes in such a way that an intimate courtyard is created between them. The large windows expand the interior space smoothly to the outdoors, providing more than just square meters of interior space.
The Kuressaare day center hall extension has been nominated for the annual award of the Estonian Interior Architects Union 2022.
IMPROVED SKILLS AND MY ROLE:
My task involved creating a 3D model of the interior using ArchiCAD, as well as producing 2D drawings of the staircase and furniture, as well as standard room plans such as lighting and electrical outlet placement. Additionally, I was responsible for creating specifications and drawings for the interior doors and sliding partitions.The collaboration with the experienced interior architect Annika Lill, who managed the project and instructed in technical matters, was very helpful and developing
Working at Molumba architecture office was an enriching experience, as I have always admired their remarkable works and creation
