Mesiohaka housing
Translated from Mesiohakas, the globe thistle (Echinops) is a mystical and resilient plant that inspires and encourages us to create our lives exactly the way we want them to be. Inspired by the strength of the sea holly, a row of townhouses is rising in the village of Valkse, just outside Keila. They create a connection between nature, the openness of space, and your family’s greatest dreams.
Each 103.3 m² home is designed in a U-shape, creating a private courtyard and terrace with the feeling of a detached house. Within this space, a flowing four-room family home unfolds. The townhouses are single-storey and feature high ceilings. The central element of each home is a private courtyard, around which the rooms are arranged. We also offer larger plots for detached private homes.
Keywords are the natural movement of light and openness towards the greenery of the meadow, forest, or courtyard area. Freely flowing spaces, a smooth transition of materials from exterior to interior, and direct contact with nature. The interior blends seamlessly with the discreet courtyard area, while large glass surfaces and high ceilings support the movement of light.
Every home has the opportunity to grow and breathe with you. You can add to the courtyard area: Outdoor sauna – a primal retreat and relaxation after a day’s adventure, storage module, for storing sports equipment, garden tools, and other everyday items. a greenhouse module, to grow thriving tomatoes or aromatic herbs, a barrel sauna, where you can relax in the light of the full moon and let all worries fade away or even a pergola, which protects the terrace from the summer sun. To ensure an indoor climate that meets standards, cooling is solved through the underfloor heating circuit. In addition, room-specific cooling with fan coils can be ordered.
The keywords of the interior created by Triin Villemsaar are freely flowing spaces, a smooth transition of materials from exterior to interior, and direct contact with nature. A sense of calm within the space, supported by soothing natural materials in the interior finishes, such as wood and minerals. Warmth is brought by natural interior cladding boards, creating a seamless transition from the façade into the living room. As an additional option, natural marble-lime plaster can be selected for the wall finishes.
On the outskirts of Keila, next to health trails, a new living environment is emerging, where architecture and nature blend into a unified whole. Homes where peace, creativity, and vitality come together.
