The Administrative and Research Centre for the Kurtna Experimental Poultry Farm is one of the major works of Estonian architect Valve Pormeister.

The walls are stacked with red bricks with a clean joint, the window blinds are black, crocheted with thin frames.
A lot of elegant details are added to the overall impression, such as the transparency of the house at the entrance, and the lounge area with a fine furnishings in front of a fireplace lowered to the wall, the balancing verticality of the white chimney.
The main auditorium follows the free flowing space desire introduced by Alvar Aalto.
