In the heart of Nõmme, Tallinn, one of the most remarkable gems of Estonian architecture has come onto the market – the Tiidemann’s Villa, built in 1938 and designed by the renowned architect Elmar Lohk.
This is a prestigious villa of approximately 900 m², recognized as one of the most outstanding examples of a symbiosis between functionalist and early traditionalist architecture. The building was commissioned by the legendary sea captain Oskar Tiidemann, whose life and love for the sea are reflected in the villa’s design — in its details, views, and symbolism.
The villa’s main façade opens onto Näituse Street and is elevated on a terrace to provide better views and a more distinguished appearance. The façade is characterized by a symmetrical main entrance, a bay window, a fountain, large corner windows, and tiled balconies. The façade facing Võidu Street is crowned by a sculptural group created by Juhan Raudsepp, featuring maritime symbols.
In addition to its striking architecture, the villa carries significant historical value — over the course of the 20th century, it has served various state institutions and hosted numerous international dignitaries, including the Shah of Iran, Indira Gandhi, and Mikhail Gorbachev.
The garden-facing sides of the villa are designed in a purely functionalist style, emphasizing the building’s modernity for its time. The spatial layout is grand and takes into account both representative and private functions, making it one of the largest and most prominent buildings in Nõmme.
