BUILDING
The five-storey building (five floors plus a cellar floor) includes 36 apartments and 30 parking places for residents’ cars: 16 garage places in the cellar and 14 places in the outdoor parking lot. In addition to parking places there are 12 storerooms on the cellar floor. The building has an elevator.

The plot will be fenced. A barrier will be placed on the access road.The access for residents will be via Raatuse St.

There is a children's playground in close proximity of the building.

ARHITECTURE
There will be no public or business premises on the ground floor of the building as it is located somewhat away from the busy city centre. The fully symmetrical main façade of the building runs along Raatuse St. Due to the parking conditions in Tartu’s city centre, the cellar of the building is reserved for parking places, technical premises and storerooms.

According to the building’s detail plan there will be set-offs on the fourth floor, which reduces the visual volume of the building and enables latticed roof terraces in the upper floor apartments.

Small and light balconies for the lower floors will be installed so as to face the desired cardinal directions. The building is constructed of prefabricated reinforced concrete panels and thus its exterior will feature concrete surfaces with imprints of wooden formwork and of natural colours.

The building has a stairwell and an elevator which are set in the building’s "blind” centre. Residential floors are accessible from the parking floor as well as from the street-level via the main entrance for pedestrians.

ENVIRONMENT
This particular section of Raatuse St. is an amalgam of miscellaneous architectural forms: small apartment houses from the 1920s and 1930s and public buildings from the 1950s stand nearby. There are five-floor blocks of flats built in the 1970s and 1980s across the road and in the close proximity of the planned building there is a standard-project schoolhouse from the 1980s which is positioned irregularly, without following the street or building line.

The district has a well-developed infrastructure: a kindergarden, a gas station and malls. Other areas of the city are easily accessible via public transport.

The city centre is in the reach of a five-minute walk.

What adds to the value of the particular living environment, is that lately a number or new blocks of flats and public buildings have been built in this area.
