Building

The buildings have an energy efficiency class A rating. The facades are equipped with a large amount of next-generation PIR insulation, with a thermal conductivity factor ranging from 0.021 to 0.025 W/mK, and fire-resistant wool is also installed according to regulations.

The roof of the Loode 10 building is fitted with Roof.it integrated solar panels with a capacity of 7.21 kWp, while the Loode Cross building has standard LONGI 450W solar panels, also with a capacity of 7.2 kWp. The solar panels produce excess electricity in the summer, which is sold to the Elektrilevi network and covers the entire electricity consumption of the buildings. This allows you to offset your total electricity costs in the winter.

The apartment building has a strip foundation with a poured concrete block structure. The floors are mainly made of reinforced concrete slabs.

The exterior walls are made of hollow concrete blocks, 190 mm thick. The partition walls between the apartments are made of hollow concrete blocks, 240 mm thick, and additionally, gypsum board coverings are installed between the bedrooms and living rooms in two different boxes to provide even better sound insulation. The 240 mm walls between the apartments and the stair hall are plastered on both sides. The interior walls of the apartments are made of reinforced cement board and metal frames filled with sound insulation wool. In dry rooms, the finishing is plaster and paint, while in wet areas, high-class Spanish tiles are used.

The building's load-bearing structures are made of stone and concrete, with insulation and the primary exterior finish being wood. The exterior is finished with pastel-colored wood cladding and paneling – dark gray and white, with each section of the building featuring cladding laid at different angles. A decorative additional layer of cladding is installed over the primary paneling, creating an unusual architectural accent on the facade. The basement level insulation is plastered.

The roof covering on Loode 10 is made of classic black rolled sheet metal with integrated Roof.it solar panels, which do not disturb the architectural ensemble of Loode street and the Kassisaba district, as it is part of the Loode street heritage zone. Since Roof.it does not produce a white rolled sheet metal solar panel solution, the Loode Põik 2 building's roof is equipped with classic solar panels using white rolled sheet metal.

The buildings have local heating provided by an independent pumping station with concrete walls (pump facility with concrete walls), where two quiet 16 kW Daikin ERLA heat pumps are installed, operating with water and electricity; the concrete walls offer additional sound insulation. The heat exchange unit is located in the technical room of Loode Põik 2. To heat the apartments, water-based underfloor heating is used. Temperature is controlled individually in each room via thermostats. During the summer, the pumps can operate in cooling mode, with a separate accumulator tank. Water is supplied to internal fan-coil units and cooling equipment, which are installed on each floor of the building, in the bedrooms and living rooms.

The building maintains the correct microclimate and ensures the supply of fresh, warm air thanks to the supply and exhaust ventilation unit in each apartment. The system operates with heat recovery (heat recovery ventilation), which also contributes to the building's A energy class rating.

The building features modern "German-style" windows made of wood and aluminum with triple-glazed glass. Many of the windows are maximized in height and width, particularly in the living and lounge areas, reaching up to 6 meters in height in the atrium zones (an atrium is a space that spans two or more floors). The main windows have a height from floor to ceiling of up to 5.5 meters and a width of up to 3 meters, ensuring maximum natural light, views, and spaciousness. Along with high ceilings and the expansive two-story layout, this creates an impression of ultimate openness within the space. Large windows are equipped with solar-control glass and a low g-value (solar factor) to prevent overheating of the rooms.

Sound insulation: Rw+Ctr [dB] ≥ 25-30 dB. The window color is black (RAL9005) on the outside and white (RAL 9003) on the inside.

Loode Põik 2 windows:

- The external window frame color is white (RAL 9003)

- The interior window frame shade is black (RAL 9005)

Loode 10 windows:

- The external window frame color is black (RAL 9005)

- The interior window frame shade is black (RAL 9005)

Each stairwell and the sauna/home office on the second floor will feature up to 2.5 meters of glass, which will be opaque on the guest room and street-facing side but transparent from the sauna and staircase. This design allows the guest rooms to gain even more volume and light due to the reflection of the windows, while ensuring privacy in the bathrooms. On a frosty evening, while warming up in the sauna, you can watch the snow fall outside.

The apartments feature mostly non-standard doors with a height of 2300 mm, with some doors measuring 2100 mm, such as on the second floor and under the staircase in Loode 10 building. The doors are custom-made and equipped with internal hinges and magnetic locks. They offer enhanced sound insulation, and rubber seals are installed around the perimeter. The doors close smoothly and quietly, providing a comfortable and pleasant experience.

Each apartment is equipped with fiber optic cables for future connection to the high-speed internet provider TELIA. The apartments also feature a video intercom system. The low-voltage distribution board is located in the technical room on the first floor of Loode Põik 2.

The buildings and units are equipped with an ATS system, an automatic warning system, and fire alarms. Smoke detectors (addressable smoke detectors) are installed on every floor of each unit.

Hot water is produced in the heat node through external local heat pumps: remote reading cold and hot water meters will also be installed in the common technical room of Loode Põik 2. Water metering is done automatically.

The apartments have remote-reading electrical meters, which are installed in the electrical panel room on the first floor of the building. The apartment's electrical panel is recessed into the wall of the hallway. Designed outlets and switches will be installed in the apartments, along with ports for data cable connections. Recessed LED lights will be placed in the bathrooms and corridors. A bidirectional meter is installed in the technical room, which measures the solar electricity produced and sold to the Elektrilevi network.

All homes are equipped with a wireless smart home solution, and clients have the option to order additional equipment and devices for an extra fee. These can later be purchased directly by the client, for example, through the Smart-House company.

Krauss Kinnisvara provides the readiness of the system for free, enabling integration with the solution.

Each room is fitted with a separate thermostat to control underfloor heating, the hallway features a ventilation controller, and a video intercom screen is installed. All heat, electricity, and water meter readings are monitored through remote reading. The solar panel system installed on the roof has a separate application for tracking and management.

Each of the six boxes has its own private entrance and yard.

Parking is available in the outdoor parking area in front of the bike storage building, with access to the parking lot via a moderate-sloped ramp from Loode Street. The vertical layout generally allows easy access for everyone, including those in wheelchairs or with strollers. The bike storage building with a waste room is located between the houses, in front of the parking lot, providing convenient and hassle-free bike parking.

Between the historic limestone wall and the bike storage, there is a communal children's playground, which is also enclosed by a fence and protected by the parking lot-side fence. This area can be used for summer gatherings, such as barbecues or children's birthday parties. Small children can have fun in the sandbox located in the yard, which will feature a mini excavator and a children's kitchen.

At the back of Loode Põik 2, a pump house with concrete walls 1.5 meters high will be built at the ground boundary to ensure better sound insulation. This facility will also serve as a small concrete yard for Box 4, on the inner side, and will have a gate for access to Loode Põik street for servicing the heat pumps.

The green areas of Loode Põik 2 will be enclosed with a wooden fence, adjacent to the Tehnika 39 substation, and to ensure greater privacy, two-meter-high Thuja trees will be planted along the boundary.

Additionally, the property will be under video surveillance for security.

Parking areas are equipped with the necessary infrastructure for the installation of electric vehicle charging stations. The installation of chargers, including the required cabling and additional electrical capacity, will be organized by the homeowners' association after the building's completion. Charging stations will be installed at the expense of those who wish to have them.

The first-floor terraces are available in boxes No. 1, 2, 3, . The partition walls between the balconies are made of plastered Fibo blocks. The ventilated floor is constructed from terrace decking.

Each apartment has one parking space on the area between the buildings, in accordance with the requirements of Tallinn’s city regulations, which stipulate that one parking space per apartment is allowed in the protected heritage zones. The validity of Tallinn’s parking space standards is based on the Tallinn City Council decision No. 84, dated 17.09.2020.

For the terraced houses, the interior designer has chosen the "Savannah" interior design package, created for those who want to fill their home with light and lightness. This package brings a sense of softness and spaciousness to the rooms, using light and soft tones.

The ceramic tiles, the herringbone parquet flooring and the walls are finished in light shades, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere. For more details on the package, see the interior design menu.
