The terminal 脺lemiste in Tallinn in Estonia will be the starting point of the line connecting Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius with the European high-speed rail network.
The 脺lemiste terminal is designed as a connecting public bridge used by the local community as well as multi-modal transport hub for commuters, national and international rail passengers in addition to air travellers using the adjacent Tallinn airport.
Circulation routes through the building have determined the station鈥檚 spatial geometry to aid navigation and the smooth integration of bus, tram and rail lines that intersect at the terminus.
鈥淚 have been constantly informed about the developments in the 脺lemiste area and in light of the works presented to the public today, I am more than convinced that the area is becoming one of the most attractive and, in terms of infrastructure, synergistic in Tallinn,鈥� said Taavi Aas, Estonia鈥檚 Minister of Economic Affairs and Infrastructure. 鈥淎 true multi-modal transport hub is emerging, with rail, bus and air traffic coming together there in the future.鈥�
Rail Baltic Estonia announced the international design competition for the terminal station in 脺lemiste in May 2019. The competition ended on 3rd September and was judged by a nine-member jury.
