Private city residence in a green setting beside the Old Town
In the immediate vicinity of Tartu’s Old Town and the Botanical Garden lies an elegant one-bedroom apartment in the newly completed Lai 36C boutique development. Its value lies in the atmosphere, location and overall sense of place – the cafés, restaurants and cultural life of the Old Town are only a short walk away, while the home itself is surrounded by greenery, tranquillity and a calmer urban environment. The dignity of the historic building is combined with contemporary architecture, quality materials and thoughtfully integrated technical solutions, creating a balanced and timeless living environment.
LAYOUT AND LIVING SPACES
The apartment features a spacious and fluid layout. The living room with kitchen forms a natural focal point, where deep window reveals, natural oak flooring and soft neutral tones give the interior warmth and refined character. Views open towards greenery, while the proportions of the space create a calm and private atmosphere. The kitchen area supports both everyday comfort and elegant city residence style living for someone whose lifestyle moves between cities or international projects.
The bedroom is positioned more privately and comfortably accommodates a king-size bed together with a full-wall wardrobe, while maintaining an open sense of space. The bathroom features large-format stone tiles and carefully selected sanitary ware that emphasise the interior’s clean lines and timeless aesthetic.
LOCATION AND ARCHITECTURE
The location near the Botanical Garden and the Emajõgi River offers a balance between greenery and urban living. Walking paths, open views and a calmer streetscape are combined with the cafés, restaurants and cultural life of the Old Town, all within a short walking distance.
Lai 36C is a boutique development with only 14 apartments, creating a more private living environment compared to larger projects. The building combines a renovated historical structure with a new extension, preserving its character while introducing modern living standards.
CONSTRUCTION
Lai 36c is a 2- and partially 3-storey apartment building, partly newly built and partly renovated. The property includes 7 parking spaces, with readiness for electric vehicle charging points. Access to the property is from Lai Street. Driveways and parking areas are covered with concrete paving stones. The plot is enclosed by a fence.
The load-bearing structures consist of red brick, silicate brick and fieldstone in the older section, and бетон blocks in the new section. Intermediate floors are монolithic concrete. The roof is covered with standing seam metal on wooden rafters. Non-load-bearing internal walls are made of Columbia stone and Fibo blocks, and partly gypsum board on a metal frame. Walls between apartments are constructed of stone (Columbia, Fibo blocks), wood or double metal frame gypsum structures (≥49 dB). The building features wooden framed double-glazed windows. Apartment entrance doors are wooden. Interior doors are wooden panel doors.
The building is connected to district heating. Apartments have water-based underfloor heating with individual room temperature control. Ventilation is provided by apartment-based units with heat recovery and electric air heating. Energy efficiency requirements are not applied, as the building is under heritage protection.
COMFORT AND TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS
The apartment is equipped with water-based underfloor heating, room-specific temperature control and a cooling system that allows the indoor climate to be adjusted according to the season. Heat recovery ventilation ensures a constant supply of fresh air.
Parking is located in the courtyard, with readiness for electric vehicle charging. Access to the property is controlled, supporting everyday convenience.
