Private house in Tallinn, Estonia

Esta casa particular ubicada en las cercanías de Tallinn, capital de Estonia, se construyó en una parcela cubierta de viejos árboles de roble, lo que le da el aspecto de un pequeño parque. Uno de estos robles se combina con la casa, insertándose en la terraza. El frente de la casa mira al Sur, por lo que ésta se proyectó en una sola planta para permitir que el sol también alcance el patio trasero. La casa toma la forma de una L que dobla alrededor del roble. En un ala se ubica la zona de estar con sauna, y en la otra los dormitorios. En esta ala, la casa crece a dos niveles. Toda la estructura es de madera y su revestimiento es de alerce.
