Construction Information

All apartments have balconies, loggias, or terraces. Ground floor apartments have outdoor terraces that extend the living space. These are surrounded by low, steel mesh fences hidden in bushes surrounding the terraces with wooden decking. Floors 2 to 6 have balconies, and corner apartments also have loggias. The sides of the balconies are made of dark sheet metal with dark metal railings in front. Loggias are enclosed and with glass railings, with the upper parts retractable. Some rooftop apartments also have roof terraces. The rooftop also features a 50.2 m² communal terrace.

The staircase has glazed aluminum exterior doors. The apartment exterior doors are security doors finished with dark-stained oak veneer.

The apartments have energy-efficient plastic profile windows with triple glazing. The roof windows have aluminum profile frames and tempered/laminated triple glazing.

The main load-bearing structure is made from 150 mm precast, single-layer reinforced concrete elements. The exterior walls are insulated with 200 mm polystyrene and the façade is covered with a 10 mm laminate brick tile facade system.

The foundation of the building is a pile foundation.

The floors are mainly made of 265 mm hollow-core slabs with a 50 mm layer of mineral wool and polystyrene sheets for insulation, topped with 70 mm of reinforced concrete, separated by isolation strips to compensate for volume expansion and improve sound insulation.

The visible part of the roof is covered with black standing seam metal, and the flat roof part is covered with dark waterproof material.

The ceilings are mainly finished concrete ceilings painted white, with gypsum board ceilings in hallways and bathrooms to cover the ventilation ducts of the apartment. The ceiling height of the apartments is 2.7 m, except in rooms with suspended ceilings, which are 2.3-2.4 m high.

Interior walls between apartments and corridors are made from 200 mm precast concrete panels.

The walls within apartments are metal frame partitions covered with double gypsum boards on both sides and isolated with mineral wool.

The finishing is done according to the interior design package. The ceilings and walls in living spaces are finished with paint. Hallways and bathrooms have white painted gypsum board suspended ceilings.

The staircase entrances are equipped with a keycard access system and intercom. Apartment keys are master keys that make it easy to open the building, parking garage, and storage room doors with the same key.

The building is supplied with district heating (AS Narva Soojusvõrk). The heat exchange unit is in the technical room on the ground floor. Apartments have water-based underfloor heating, including in bathrooms, allowing cost savings compared to electric underfloor heating. Modern solutions also enable keeping bathroom floors warm in summer. Each room’s temperature can be individually controlled with a wall-mounted thermostat.

Water and electricity are metered remotely. Each apartment has its own two-tariff remote reading electricity meter.

The building has a central heat recovery ventilation system. The ventilation unit is in the technical room on the rooftop floor. The ventilation systems are designed to cool the supply air to +22°C. Cooling is provided by direct expansion heat exchangers. Kitchens are equipped with a range hood connection.
Separate cooling units, known as multi-split cooling, can be installed in apartments 38, 39, 40, 41, and 45 (indoor units on the walls in the apartment, outdoor units on the roof).

The electricity meters of the apartments are in the technical room on the first floor. Each apartment has its own electrical panel. The apartments have wiring, sockets, and switches, and recessed lights in bathrooms and hallway ceilings installed.

Optical data cables are installed in each apartment. The hallways have low voltage panels. The apartments are equipped with autonomous smoke detectors.

Video surveillance cameras are located at the entrance and in front of the lift on the first floor, as well as at the entrances of the parking garage, and one camera is facing the playground. The apartments have security system readiness (wiring), with magnetic contact sensors on the windows and balcony doors on the first floor, and the balcony doors on floors 2 to 7. The parking area is separated by a crossing gate from Raudsilla Street.

The parking garage is located between the apartment buildings and is mostly hidden underground, with the visible part looking like a regular parking lot. The only thing revealing the entire size of the parking garage is the visible part extending from the ground on Juhkentali street. This part will be covered with a transparent steel mesh with climbing plants to visually reduce the size of the parking garage and blend better with the landscape. The entrance to the above-ground part is from Raudsilla Street, and to the underground part from Juhkentali Street. The parking lot is secured with a crossing gate and a closed garage door. Pedestrian entrances are on the north and east sides, with three out of four entrances built in the first phase.

The northeast side of the Joaoru Residences quarter has a large playground with benches, trees, shrubs, and other amenities for a pleasant time. Bicycle racks will be installed in the yard. The quarter’s sidewalks will connect with the prospective Joaoru promenade's pedestrian and bike paths. Molok-type waste containers will be located near the property entrances. The yard area will not be fenced.
