Rotermanni Quarter

This area has played an important role in Tallinn's history; in the 19th century it was the crossing of roads from Tartu, Narva and Pärnu.

The developer of the quarter is Rotermann City OÜ (founded by Urmas Sõõrumaa).

Over the years they have been working together with architectural bureaus Kosmos (Mihkel Tüür, Villem Tomiste, Ott Kadarik), KOKO Architects (Andrus Kõresaar, Raivo Kotov), Alver Architects (Andres Alver, Indrek Rünkla), Teigar Sova Architects (Vahur Sova), HG Architecture (Hanno Grossschmidt, Tomomi Hayashi) and Emil Urbel Architectural Bureau.

The carpenter’s workshop with its three techno-futuristic exterior towers was shortlisted for the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture in 2009.
