The good news is that planned new hotel project in Rakvere is not dead. Unfortunately the bad new is that developer wants to redesign the project and is also lobbying for detail planning changes.

Gotta love the comments :lol:

I personally think the second design is fine, even more so than the first one which despite the interesting solution with the elevator doesn't seem to fit all too well with the crazy town slogan Rakvere's been trying to enforce.
Actually, I wouldn't even mind if the developers returned to the first design, all I hope is they don't fudge this project up with their constant redesigning.

Rakvere plans to turn Seminari street into linear park.

In the future Seminari street will be linear park surrounded by renovated,energy efficient apartment buildings and entire surrounding area will be turned more people-friendly place.
Architects drew new designs for 16 apartment buildings,which over the time will be renovated.
It's a first Urb. Energy project in Estonia - program,which will help cities to increase energy efficiency on larger urban area.

Here's a small aerial pic of the street in question. It's currently in quite a bad shape so it's good to hear there are some plans to change its condition.

Tundub,et teatud rebimine on tekkimas väiksemate linnade seas,et kes suudab vingema projekti või planeeringuga välja tulla :D


Muuseas,ega keegi tea mis Arvo Pärdi kontserdimajast sai? Oli ju küllaltki vinge rahvusvaheline võistlus paar aastat tagasi ja praeguseks peaks juba midagi reaalselt toimuma. Ega ometi kogu plaani tühistatud?
