The futuristic look of the building visually echoes Rail Baltic’s revolutionary new electric railway.
And its close proximity to Tallin airport also makes it an outlet for those arriving by air.
This will allow the rail line to continue operations as the construction unfolds.
The entire design was conceived by examining circulation routes throughout the building.
And, of course, ZHA has done all this with sustainability in mind.
In fact, as an added benefit, Ulemiste has also been designed to BREEAM benchmarks and sustainability guidelines.
This isn’t ZHA’s first foray into Estonia.
In 2017, the firm was awarded thePort of Tallinn Masterplan 2030.
With the addition of Ulemiste terminal, Tallinn is cementing its status as the gateway to the Baltics.
Zaha Hadid Architects won a competition to build a new rail station in Tallinn.
Their futuristic design combines the utility of a public bridge and transit hub.
The Ulemiste terminal will be the start of a 540-mile electric railway connecting major Baltic cities.
