The Tõrvandi School has been carefully crafted to serve as a beacon of education, sport, and community life, nestled within the tranquil borough of Tõrvandi, embraced by lush greenery. Designed to harmonise with its surroundings, the centre is a testament to the seamless blend of form and function.

A primary and secondary school, a sports hall, and open communal spaces are intertwined within this structure, inviting interaction and fostering a sense of belonging. The design speaks in natural materials and contemporary lines, with interiors that breathe openness and light. Here, spaces have been shaped to welcome solitude and togetherness, offering an environment where learning, play, and community spirit can flourish.

Gentle tones of light oak wood, pastel hues, and abundant natural light have been woven into the fabric of the design, creating an atmosphere of warmth and calm. Every detail has been considered to enhance the experience of its users, whether they are engaged in study, sport, or shared communal activities. The building’s essence lies in its adaptability, transforming effortlessly to meet the varied needs of its visitors.

Through close collaboration with Arhitekt Must, the centre has been envisioned as a cornerstone of the local community. It is a place where education, wellness, and social connection are housed and nurtured in spaces that inspire and connect.
