A true masterpiece by renowned architect Andres Kadarik, in collaboration with engineer Paul Sõrmus, has come on the market—situated right on the banks of the Emajõgi River.
ARCHITECTURE
Andres Kadarik, also known as Kada, is referred to in architectural circles as the “concrete fanatic.” He is one of the few in Tartu who is unafraid of concrete, enjoys collaborating with engineers, and creates bold and creative solutions.
The architect himself has described the Captain’s Villa as follows:
“One of the most beautiful examples of concrete construction is the villa located next to the former Kvissentali student dormitory. Its entire west-facing façade towards the Emajõgi River has three-meter-high window openings. Looking at the fireplaces clad in natural stone, I am reminded of Mies van der Rohe’s ‘Villa Tugendhat’ in Brno, where the west-facing partition wall in the living space was composed of massive, symmetrically cut, semi-transparent onyx marble panels… However, interior architect Enrico Heinoja has skillfully translated the client’s wishes into a clear, geometric vision in the Kapteni Street villa.”
THE VILLA
The villa is characterized by breathtaking panoramic views of the Emajõgi River and the surrounding nature, utmost privacy, and an abundance of air and space for its residents.
The first floor features a spacious living room with a dining area and kitchen, an office, a large entrance hall with a walk-in wardrobe, a guest toilet, a double garage, and a technical room. Additionally, there is a private terrace of approximately 100 m² with stunning views of the river.
The second floor includes two bedrooms with panoramic views of the Emajõgi, both with walk-in wardrobes. There is also a spa area with a terrace, equipped with both a Finnish and a steam sauna, as well as a jacuzzi. Additionally, the second floor has an extra bedroom.
Throughout the house, only the highest quality interior materials and finishes have been used.
The total living space of the villa is 407.6 m², and the beautifully landscaped plot measures 1,540 m².
