We will restore the old mechanic’s shop at the historical Krulli metalworks in Tallinn into a modern enterprise and innovation centre with a footprint of more than 17,000 square metres. Heritage conservation restrictions, rigorous architectural and public space requirements, resource-conscious reuse and low carbon footprint principles will all be observed.

When the Kasvuhoone (literal translation: “the Growth House”) is completed, this Krulli’s main building will be home to start-ups, flexible co-working spaces, business accelerators, creative studios and offices. There will also be a common area with a food court, small shops and exhibition spaces..

The building was designed in collaboration between the Danish architectural firm Cobe and Estonia’s KOKO Architects. A five-storey wooden tower rising above the old limestone walls will be the iconic landmark of Krulli Quarter. Besides preserving the facades and various other historical layers, original concrete pillars, beams, panels, stairs, cranes and many other elements from the old industrial halls will be reused.
