Architect
Maarja Nummert

An important part of Jõhvi’s new identity

“The designer on the project, architect Maarja Nummert, gave the building a circular floor plan at the centre of which is an amphitheatre-style assembly hall-cum-auditorium with tiered flooring. The hall opens out in all directions

One of the keywords in coming up with the architectural concept was ‘integration’ (of students and teachers), which the circular, open atrium facilitates. But we asked ourselves: why stop there? So we designed the entire building according to that same principle. And it works – the learning environment has become more open, people have become more open and everyone at the school cares about the building and the inspirational environment it provides.

With its unique appearance, the building adds considerably to the urban environment, encouraging the local authority to take the surrounding urban space to a new aesthetic level.”
