Letter from Estonia
Architect: SALTO
Project: Sports hall for the Estonian University of Life Sciences, Tartu
Client: Estonian University of Life Sciences

The undulating contours of the landscape have been amplified by setting the building on this rolling natural cushion. The stretched-out corners and arched form has provided a clever spatial solution in that a large cubic volume has been created yet, at the same time, the building also appears to be compact due to this symbiotic relationship with the site. The competition winning design by young Tallinn based office SALTO (who were responsible for the much lauded Estonian 'Gas Pipe' exhibition at the 2008 Venice Architecture Biennale) has also resulted in a series of strikingly unconventional interior spaces.
