Nature Hub – the new Tallinn Nature House – is an inspiring example of how the public sector can set a clear direction in construction and development by prioritizing solutions that combine innovation, environmental responsibility, and community needs.
The building’s load-bearing structures are made from cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels, produced by local manufacturer Arcwood by Peetri Puit. This is an important step, as using local natural materials reduces the environmental footprint of construction while creating a healthier and more sustainable environment.
In the interior finishing, natural clay plaster plays a key role. Currently, UKUNAKS base plaster is being applied to the walls, creating a durable and breathable foundation, followed by a finish of white decorative clay plaster. The result is spaces that are both visually distinctive and cozy, while also supporting healthy living.
The architectural concept was created by Kavakava OÜ (authors: Siiri Vallner, Indrek Peil, Kristel Niisuke, and Ko Ai). The project has been realized by the main contractor Nordecon, with clay plaster works carried out by SM Viimistlus.
Nature Hub demonstrates that thoughtful material choices, combined with strong public sector leadership, are the key to building innovatively and responsibly. This is a building that reflects the future – nature-oriented, environmentally friendly, and created for people.

Marmorino… hard to describe until you’ve seen its texture.
Like lace carved from stone — soft, delicate, yet strong.
It catches the light in different ways, sometimes smooth and reflective, sometimes textured and alive.
All that depth and movement — from just two thin coats.
You really have to see it in person.
Come experience it at our showroom or your nearest reseller.

This is textured marmorino.
The light plays across the surface in its own way, sometimes soft and matte, sometimes catching a gentle sheen.
Marmorino can go from mirror-smooth and polished to rustic and raw, and you can even add extra texture with a roller for a more tactile finish.
It’s one of those materials you can’t really capture in photos — there’s depth, movement, and quiet elegance in every layer.
You have to experience it in person, come see it at our showroom or your nearest reseller.

A restaurant and bakery concept at Oslo’s National Library. Where heritage meets material honesty.
Our Norwegian partner @grund_as contributed to the construction of the new @credo.1998 restaurant, pursuing exceptional quality and a refined expression that honours the building’s architectural and historical significance.
The walls are finished with UKU materials — lime marmorino, lime stucco, marble lime plaster, clay stucco, and clay rustic finishing plaster.
Every surface tells a story🔸see more at @ uku.eu.
