Arvo Pärt Centre

The architecture of the Arvo Pärt Centre is based on a pattern of pentagonal courtyards, the interior is fluid and perceivable as a single space. The building accommodates a library, a 150-seat chamber hall, an exhibition area, a video hall and classrooms.

The concrete building gets its appearance from large glass surfaces, a wooden facade framed with steel pillars, and a galvanized iron roof. The interior finishing is dominated by parquetry and timber details in oak. The area of the building is 2,385 m².

The architects of the Arvo Pärt Centre are Fuensanta Nieto and Enrique Sobejano (bureau Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos), and the construction project was completed in cooperation with the architecture bureau Luhse & Tuhal (Estonia). The project won the nomination for Construction Project of the Year 2018.

The main functional parameters of a public building of this type are fire safety, sound insulation and sound absorption, to insure a safe and pleasant environment for the visitors.
