Kuku-Ranna Summer House / Arhitektuuribüroo Eek & Mutso

The summer house in Vääna-Jõesuu, some 35 km from Tallinn, is like the archetype of a house – a tepee or the steep slope of a farmhouse roof in the middle of nature. The minimalist tent-like form that was often used in cottage architecture in the area in the 1970s has been added kinetic elements turning the laconic volume into a contemporary light and airy summer house. When not used, the house with no permanent residents remains closed and unnoticed.
