Kadriorg Park’s Orangery

On the edge of Kadriorg Park, considered one of the most beautiful parks in Northern Europe, near Swan Pond, an gardener’s house, also known as an orangery, is being completed. The building will become a gardening complex with necessary facilities for park maintenance – the complex consists of three blocks, similar to all the other buildings within the palace complex. One block will house the work and living rooms for Kadriorg Park’s gardeners, office and training spaces, and a repair workshop. The second block is planned to house a winter garden and a storage area for ornamental plants brought in for the colder seasons. The third block will include a greenhouse for other exotic plants that are intended to be used in the parks during the summer. The house, set to be completed in December of this year, was designed by the Architecture Office Karisma, which won the first prize in the architecture competition held in 2018.

Sustainable Solutions (Building Futures Together):

Depending on the building’s specific requirements, there is ample lighting for plants, so the indoor lighting is generally economical, with reasonable quantities and easy maintenance. Modern plant cultivation solutions are employed to preserve, store, and propagate endangered historical park plant species. Solar panels will be installed on the roof for electricity generation and storage, and greenhouse ventilation will primarily be through operable windows.
