Headquarters of the European Union Agency for IT

The new headquarters of the European IT Agency, planned next to Tallinn’s Seaplane Harbour and historic hangars, is designed to be representative, energy-efficient, and compliant with the highest security standards.

The building, with its distinctive shape, introduces clear and calm architectural forms into an area surrounded by a variety of contemporary developments. Its angular silhouette, clearly visible from the sea, provides a balanced contrast to the soft, rounded forms of the adjacent seaplane hangar.

The exterior is defined by a glass façade covered with sun-shading louvers, which not only enhance the building’s energy efficiency but also serve to shield much of its internal activity from view. The overall composition is intended to convey a sense of monumentality, befitting the stature of this institution — not just within Estonia, but as a key IT infrastructure hub for the entire European Union.
