- Archiforma magazine.

The results of Tallinn Courthouse architectural ideas competition announced. We are mentioned by the jury as authors of the proposal accurately fitting the urban context and fulfilling the clients expectations:
"Metaphysical form and minimalist aesthetics fit extremely accurately the urban context, being self-evident and logical continuation of the place.Obviously inspired by the metaphysical language of Aldo Rossi, the classic concrete facade techniques are used in order to preserve the architectural impact. The clarity of the project is highly professional. The only drawback of the proposed building is the nonconformity with the DP requirements and the maximum gross building area," - from the competition report.
