Nortal HQ renovation at Ülemiste City
in collaboration with LÄVI Interior Architects – Project Leads: Kersti Pilar, Kaur Vänt / interior architects: Ann Press and Silvia Leet
The Nortal HQ renovation is the largest office project I’ve participated in, spanning four floors in Ülemiste City.
Nortal is a multinational strategic change and technology company headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia, with operations in the UK, US, Canada, Mexico, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The company provides data-driven business transformation for public and private sector clients, notably contributing to the digitalization of Estonia's governmental e-services.
The design aimed to create a functional, calm, and future-ready workspace that reflects Nortal’s core values of clarity, innovation, and human-centric digital transformation. As a global technology company with a strong presence in the public and private sectors, Nortal needed an environment that could support the dynamic nature of hybrid work, foster collaboration across teams, and offer spaces that promote focus, well-being, and flexibility. The interior architecture balances these needs by providing a variety of spatial experiences—from open-plan work zones and quiet focus rooms to informal lounges and thoughtfully designed sanitary areas—each contributing to an atmosphere that is both professional and welcoming.
The concept focused on natural tones, smart spatial organization, and custom solutions—from soft acoustics and refined lighting to bespoke furniture details and unified finishes across all floors.
I contributed to both the concept phase and technical execution, working closely with the LÄVI team and interior architects Ann Press and Silvia Leet.
