Mähe Office Building

A rare office building in an otherwise monofunctional area of private houses, this structure stands out for its expressive, if somehow formalist take on minimal neomodernism. The composition, which consists of a two- and three-storey wing, a unifying roof terrace and a small inner courtyard, is based on the play of orthogonal lines and the contrast between smooth concrete and sheer glass. Commissioned by a real estate development and construction company, the design has been executed with utmost care. Upon completion, the building also received the prize for Best Concrete Building of 2005.
