We transform ideas into structures that endure

It is a six-home project where contemporary architecture, natural materials, and practical spatial planning come together to create a cohesive living environment suitable both for families and for those seeking greater privacy and quality in everyday life.

In addition to the homes themselves, the plot is planned to include two auxiliary buildings, together with access routes, landscaping, and utility networks.

The architecture of the homes at Narva mnt 133 is contemporary, calm, and distinctly Nordic in character. The exterior combines a light rendered façade, timber cladding, and dark-toned roofing and window frames, creating a timeless and high-quality overall impression. The exterior finish is planned to include white render, brown fine-sawn timber cladding, red decorative stone, a dark grey standing seam metal roof, and terrace solutions in a brownish tone.

From AVL Living’s perspective, a home is not simply the sum of its square metres. What matters is the whole: how the house fits into the streetscape, how light moves through the interior, and how the home feels both from the outside and within. The Narva mnt 133 project has been created with exactly this logic in mind.

The development consists of six two-storey townhouse units, each approximately 121.8 to 124.6 m² in size. Every home has been planned so that the ground floor supports daily shared living, while the upper floor offers a more private area for rest and retreat.

Each home includes an open-plan living room and kitchen, a sauna area, several bedrooms, storage or utility solutions, and a technical room. Depending on the unit, the layouts include 3–4 bedrooms, and some homes also feature a walk-in wardrobe or an additional room for flexible use.

Narva mnt 133 is not a mass-market project. It is a smaller-scale development where the entire environment remains clear, manageable, and human in scale. That is precisely what gives the project its homely and welcoming character.

A comprehensive capital renovation was carried out at Kivi 5 in Jõhvi, during which the building envelope, technical systems, communication networks, and the entire interior finishing were fully upgraded. The aim of the works was to bring the building’s technical condition and usability up to a modern standard and to create a complete, well-finished, and immediately ready-to-use living environment.

As part of the exterior works, the façade was renovated by repairing the existing surfaces, carrying out full filling works, and completing the final painted finish. The old asbestos cement roof was removed and replaced with a new metal roof. In addition, new eaves trims, drip edges, and rainwater downpipes were installed, and additional roof ventilation outlets were constructed.

All main technical systems were fully renewed, including water supply, sewerage, electrical, and heating systems. The entire building’s piping, main risers, and internal plastic sewer lines were replaced. As part of the electrical works, new wiring was installed throughout the building, and new sockets, switches, and electrical panels were installed in the apartments. A new central main distribution board for the entire building was also built and configured. The heating system was likewise fully reconstructed, with new radiators installed and the main heating substation in the basement replaced together with a new floor-by-floor distribution system.

Modern communication and IT solutions were also implemented throughout the building. Data cables were installed in every room, Wi-Fi readiness was established, and routers were installed and configured. A separate Wi-Fi network was created for each apartment, ensuring a modern and convenient connectivity solution.

As part of the interior works, new plasterboard partition walls were built, corridor floors were prepared, and a new concrete layer was cast. A full cycle of painting works was carried out, including filling, priming, and painting. Ceramic tiles were installed in wet rooms and in common-use corridors. The stairwells were also refurbished, and the stairs were painted with a special wear-resistant coating.

New sanitary fixtures, including toilets and washbasins, were installed in the apartments, and the kitchens were fully fitted out with kitchen furniture and appliances. In addition, apartment-based ventilation systems were built and commissioned.

During the final finishing stage, curtain rods were installed and the apartments were fully furnished with new furniture. All apartments and common areas have been cleanly finished, furnished, and are ready for immediate use.

Kivi 5 is an example of a comprehensively reconstructed apartment building where construction quality, modern technical systems, and practical interior finishing solutions form a unified and durable whole.
