ABOUT THE BUILDING

 

The AL MARE Torn was designed by KOKO Architects – an internationally recognized architectural firm whose style combines a sensitive awareness of history with boldly modern lines.

The goal in designing the building was to create a strong and distinctive volume that will become a landmark in the area. The tower is a powerful vertical element crowned with a sculptural architectural feature on the roof.

The façade solution of this commercial and residential building is distinctive and eye-catching. The structural composition of the façade relies on a clear grid. The main façade finish is white-painted concrete. Within the grid are windows and exterior walls finished with grey vertical seam façade panels. The window composition is accented by vertical projecting concrete ribs. At the building’s corners are balconies with open corners, creating a sense of lightness in the rigid structure.

On the ground floor are two commercial premises with entrances from Paldiski Road. Floors 2-3 feature office spaces, while floors 4-22 house apartments. Each floor has 5 or 6 apartments. The top floor features 3 penthouses with separate access to private rooftop terraces.

The roof also includes a shared terrace for all residents.

Parking is arranged in the parking garage next to the tower, providing convenient access to the residential floors.

BUILDING STRUCTURES

The building will be constructed on a pile foundation. The load-bearing structure mainly consists of prefabricated reinforced concrete elements. Partition walls between apartments are made of reinforced concrete; non-load-bearing walls are constructed from lightweight blocks. Floors include insulation and a concrete screed with underfloor water heating.

ENERGY CLASS

Calculated energy class A ensures energy efficiency and low monthly costs.

HEATING

District heating combined with geothermal heating. Apartments have water-based underfloor heating, which can be regulated individually by room.

VENTILATION AND COOLING

Apartments have an individual heat recovery ventilation system, where the exhaust air preheats the supply air, saving energy. Ventilation units include integrated cooling options.

WATER SUPPLY AND SEWERAGE

Hot water is supplied via a heat exchanger in the thermal substation. Each apartment has separate remote-readable meters for cold and hot water.

ELECTRICITY

Each apartment has its own distribution board with circuit breakers and router installation readiness. Electricity meters are remote-readable. The parking garage has electric car charging options.

DATA COMMUNICATION

The living room has two and bedrooms one outlet for data connections. The building’s common shafts house optical cables, and apartments have a CAT6 cabling network for connection to the service provider. Routers can be installed in the apartment’s distribution board.

SPRINKLER SYSTEM

in accordance with high-rise building standards, all rooms are equipped with a fire sprinkler system.
