Liven

New things get our juices flowing. In this case, new people. Namely, we are looking to offer internships for people with a background in economics, construction or architecture. Perhaps it’s you? If Liven doesn’t sound familiar to you, in short: we create homes with a soul. That’s where people spend most of their time, so it should be a reflection of them. A home that supports self-development and where it’s just pleasant to be. In order to create homes that have a soul, it is also a must to work on It with soul and at a high intensity. We are currently looking for people for an internship on the Liven team, who share our ambition and energy. It is an internship, but still a substantive job. Therefore it comes with a salary.

Anita will help you find and create a home at Luuslangi.

Anita has studied interior architecture in both Estonia and Portugal. She designed the first homes already during her university studies, i.e. she has more than ten years of experience. In addition, she has improved her education in the field of art education and worked as an art teacher.

It is a great joy and honour for Anita to be a guide in creating a home. The whole process is very individual and unique, as that is the most personal space, which must be designed with the wishes and needs of each family member in mind.

Art and design are what makes Anita tick. In her free time she paints and spends a lot of time in galleries and at cultural events. Also, being in nature and observing it rejuvenates her soul.

Lennart will help you find and create a home at Iseära.

It can be said that architecture has surrounded Lennart all his life. Thanks to his grandparents who are architects and aunt who is an interior architect, he got acquainted with the nature of the field quite young. Lennart knew at an early age that he would become an interior architect. After graduating from the Estonian Academy of Arts in 2017, he worked in the architecture bureau ARS Projekt, where he was involved in the design and engineering of both private and public projects.

Lennart believes that good interior architecture is quite universal and is related to the proportion of rooms, layouts and functional solutions. The interior design of the rooms, on the other hand, is much more subjective.
At Liven, he wants to create value that is a combination of the above, because without a good interior architecture solution, the design has only a decorative role in the room, and good architecture without a suitable style can only leave the home environment a bleak place.
Lennart considers continuous self-development to be crucial. Therefore, in 2018, in order to maintain his academic form, he started studying at the Tallinn School of Economics as a marketing specialist.

Walking is his form of meditation – long walks by the sea or on city streets are an important part of the daily routine. Lennart also enjoys badminton and tennis.

Andero has been involved in construction and project management since 2007. During this time he has developed over 100,000 m2 of buildings and designed more than 1000 apartments.

Andero is the kind of guy it is very difficult to truly butt heads with. Although discussions with him can sometimes get a little heated, he is rational and pragmatic by nature. His aim is to create long-term value that has an impact on people’s lifestyles and environment. He is bold enough to make big decisions and understands the long-term impact of activities.

Before founding Liven, Andero worked for 7 years at the international construction and property development company Skanska, where he started as a foreman on the construction site and ended up as a business manager on the management team.

He has a master’s degree in industrial and civil engineering from Tallinn University of Technology, and since the summer of 2022 he is studying AMDP (Advanced Management Development Program in Real Estate) at Harvard University.

Märt’s experience with construction management dates back to 2006. The list of objects that he has managed is quite diverse – apartment buildings, schools, a factory, a hangar, and the addition to a children’s hospital. In his work, Märt is guided by the principle that thorough preparation and planning ensure a successful final outcome.

Märt is originally from Saaremaa. He is tenacious and hard-working, traits which are common for a native of the island. A refreshing soft drink, sauna, and different types of fish are all well suited for a pleasant moment of relaxation. In addition to domestic pleasures, Märt also loves to discover more distant locales – he is especially interested in exotic natural locales and indigenous peoples.

Märt is a graduate of the Tallinn University of Technology. He holds a Master’s degree in Industrial Construction and Civil Engineering. He has also been awarded a Level 7 Diploma in Civil Engineering.

Pärle has been involved in real estate sales since 1997. During this time she has successfully sold hundreds of apartments.What Pärle enjoys most is being on the road – literally and figuratively. She is always up for a walk in nature, a motorbike ride exploring the big, wide world or studying something new. This keeps her senses keen and her mind fresh: as the saying goes, a rolling stone gathers no moss.

Pärle studied at the Tartu Teacher’s Seminar to become a music teacher, as well as theory of culture at the Estonian Humanitarian Institute and editing and reviewing of Estonian language at Tallinn University. She edits, reviews and publishes books as a hobby. Her extensive experience in real estate dates back to 1997, when she spent 11 years at Pindi Kinnisvara as a residential property broker and instructor to other brokers. For the next six years she dealt with sales of Skanska real estate projects. She still puts her heart and soul into this work, since she likes people as much as she does books.

Andres has been active in real estate development since 1997. Since then, he has developed a couple of thousand apartments, managed a number of detailed plans to their adoption and successfully completed 2 business cycles.

For Andres, family is all-important. Travelling helps him relax and appreciate the other things that are important in life. He believes that in order to survive in this rapidly developing world, you must learn and develop constantly. He works with the aim of improving both the people and the environment around him. With such an approach, what he does is not work as such…

Andres graduated from the Faculty of Construction Economics and Management at Tallinn Technical University in 1994. He then worked as the head of the Harmin Architectural Bureau and the real estate development company Maarjamäe Maja. Since 2001 he has held different positions in Skanska EMV – starting out as a project manager and working his way up to chairman of the board.

When planning projects Andres follows the principle that every apartment in a development project should be built so well that you would happily live there yourself.

Alina is the creative director of Liven, that is, she does everything that engineers don’t

A person’s professional ability mostly consists of two things. What they learned in school and what they focus on in their free time. In Alina’s case these these two sides are almost controversial.

If, based on her educational background, she is a specialist with several master’s degrees, who feels equally at home in management, marketing and service design, she devotes her free time to an almost hippyish discovering of the world.

She is no stranger to Berlin’s nightlife and Sri Lanka’s surfing culture, ascetic hiking or Alliksaar’s poetry. She has mastered several disciplines, which is the foundation for being a creative director. Only if you have enough different Lego bricks, can you create something that has never been done before.

Alina has moved to more places in her life than all Liven’s people put together. It can be concluded that she is attracted by constant forward movement. As the only exception, she has been working at Liven since 2016. If you are reading this text, she does so to this day.

Mihkel is fascinated by the culture of  South-East Asia and the contrasts of its big cities. For him the region is a source of inspiration and good ideas. He appreciates contemporary architecture and values brave solutions in interior design. During his free time he is often found on the golf course or tennis court honing both body and mind.Mihkel studied at Tallinn Technical University in the Faculty of Construction Economics and Management. After his second year of his studies there he joined Skanska during his summer work placement, which turned into an exciting and challenging work relationship that lasted more than eight years.

René has been active in the field of construction since 2013. During that time, René has contributed to the construction of several apartment buildings, as well as production buildings and warehouses.
René believes that a person must be orderly and behave ethically.René doesn’t like to sit idly by and do nothing. After a hard day’s work, you can find him signing in the men’s choir, engaged in an interesting hobby or running in the woods. He often goes for a ride on his bicycle, checking out different buildings and areas. Rene selected real estate development in particular, to ensure that he is included in the creation of the environment and growth of the city. Details must be carefully thought out, so that rooms would be convenient to use and the building would be durable over time.

René is a graduate of the Tallinn University of Technology, in the field of Industrial Construction and Civil Engineering. During his studies at the University, he worked for a company that installed flat roofs, and after graduating school he worked as the main contractor on several sites. In particular it is the experiences that he obtained at the work sites that help him when it comes to designing for others and conceptualising buildings.

René is sympathetic to the saying: “Every man is the artisan of his own fortune”.

Argo is as versatile as a tetrahedron. Completing industrial and civil engineering at the TallinnUniversity of Technology was not enough for Argo. He was dead-set to learn more about business management. Of course, the latter came in handy, and to date Argo has helped develop hundreds of apartments both in Tallinn and Pärnu. Besides all this, he himself remains modest and lives in only one of them.

Argo believes that the best things happen when the task is so impossible that there must be a solution somewhere. And there always is. In most cases, the answer lies in thorough preparation.

Versatile Argo likes sports, but even then there must be several areas. In recent years he has been focusing on triathlons, as tetrahedrons like it.

Jaanus is a textbook example of determination. He started from one of the most prestigious architecture offices in Estonia, KOKO architects, where, among other things, he won the highest cultural heritage award of the European Union – Europa Nostra Grand Prix 2013. The award went to the reconstruction of the Seaplane Harbour, the project manage r of which was Jaanus. Over the course of 20 years, he has managed the design work of countless museums, hotels and public buildings. Of course, those who try hard will still be able to count them in the end.

A good example of Jaanus’s determination is hi s personal goal to complete all IRONMAN full – length triathlons in the world within 20 years and to celebrate his 60th anniversary in the birthplace of IRONMAN, Hawaii. B oth on the course track and during vacation.

Emil entered the field of construction at the age of 14. That was a while ago and he wasn’t working at Liven then. He just earned pocket money in the summer. However, he began to like the field, and a few years later he graduated from Tallinn University of Technology with a higher education in construction management.

Emil is not a big fan of stress, but he is used to it. Emil always manages. He is calculating and rational, as economists think every person should be.

When Emil is not working, he is resting. For him, vacation means marathon-scale bike rides, because then you can see what engineering solutions nature has come up with. Nature always inspires.
