Toom-Kuninga 21

A home on the border of the old and the new world

We used to live in the city center, and our walks would take us along Liivalaia Street. Here, we can enjoy nature, the forest, and the sea. The biggest difference is that it's much calmer here, and it's also much better for our child.

What I really love the most is that when I want to go for a run, I just step outside and start running. And since we have a small baby, if I need to go for a walk, I grab the stroller and step outside. Maybe saying there are a million directions is an exaggeration, but I can go anywhere, and in fact, the city center is right here at my fingertips.

Probably the most difficult part for us was choosing whether to create a bar counter or a dining table for the kitchen, because somehow a bar counter might have been better, but the dining table was definitely the right choice for us.

We ordered everything we could in advance from Liven — curtains, wardrobe cabinets, and all other items.

My favorite spot in this apartment is probably still the living room — the windows, the light, the spaciousness.

This apartment is specifically designed around the flow of natural light. With very high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, the goal was to ensure that the light remains uninterrupted and visible throughout the entire apartment, as much as possible.

What has changed in our living environment is that children can freely play and run outside. They are safe.

The building’s unique location called for an architectural competition. The winner was the renowned architecture firm KTA, who also designed the Kvartal Centre in Tartu.
