SOFTacademy:
Tallinn’s first neighbourhood-based renovation project
In cooperation with the residents of Mustamäe Akadeemia tee 4, 6, 14 and 22.
WHAT is SOFTacademy?
SOFTacademy is not just about refurbishing individual houses, but a holistic approach that focuses on renovating several apartment buildings at once.
SOFTacademy aims for more than just beautiful facades – it is about creating a cosy community based on the wishes of the residents, where neighbours can spend time together in the shared courtyard between the buildings. Neighbourhood-based renovation is a win-win for all residents, both in terms of economics and sustainability.
Project duration: 1 September 2023–31 August 2027
The apartment buildings at Akadeemia tee 4, 6, 14 and 22 in Mustamäe, together with the surrounding space and courtyard area, will receive a fresh, modern look, with functional and energy-efficient solutions.
Preserving the environmental value
Mustamäe features modern infrastructure, but it also has preserved historic buildings. Mustamäe is therefore an excellent pilot area for modernisation and renovation projects.
Community-led development
Residents and housing associations will also be involved in the planning and design of the space between buildings owned by the City of Tallinn.
Creating a sustainable living environment
SOFTacademy offers support for the use of innovative environmentally-friendly solutions.
Accelerating renovation
This project will create an engagement model for city governments to accelerate the process of renovating panel buildings.
