elmar lohk appreciation post


A hotel in Tallinn designed by Russian born architect Elmar Lohk. It's a pretty grim looking building, but that's function of the lack of ground floor retail space and a failure to keep the exterior clean. I like the clean, art-do lines of the facade and I think the small balconies are a nice touch. Lohk was born in Vladivostok, but he died in Sweden. I wonder if he ever traveled back to his place of birth.
