Amidst the rapidly gentrifying district of North Tallinn, the Kopli Courtyard revives a rare public space on the grounds of a derelict community centre. Showcasing the meanwhile use potential of abandoned municipal assets, the scheme was co-designed with local residents, delivering a 415m2 courtyard built entirely of recycled construction waste. The new public space can host a wealth of creative and cultural activities, from craft classes and barbecues to film screenings and theatre productions.
