The Need
Elektrilevi needed a new Technology & Training Centre to support the education and upskilling of its workforce. The project had to deliver a high-quality training environment, ensure fast and predictable construction with minimal disruption, explore innovative and sustainable construction methods, and test whether buildings could be treated as adaptable, relocatable assets rather than fixed infrastructure.
Our Solution
The building was delivered using the 3Cycle open modular system (v2.0), developed at the Estonian Academy of Arts in collaboration with industry partners. While Creatomus was not the architectural author, the project played a key role in developing and validating in the real world the system principles that underpin the Creatomus platform — with CEO Renee Puusepp leading the project and the technology behind it.
Open modular 3Cycle system built from prefabricated volumetric timber modules
Timber structural system optimised for industrial production and transport
Design for Adaptability and Disassembly (DfAD) — easy to extend, relocate, and reuse
Integrated design-to-production workflow with rapid on-site assembly
The project demonstrates how a building can be developed as part of a repeatable system, rather than as a one-off design.
The Result
Completed in Kiili, Estonia, the Elektrilevi Training Centre is one of the first built examples of the 3Cycle system in practice.
High spatial and architectural quality, suitable for demanding training environments
Significantly shorter delivery timelines compared to conventional construction
A building that functions as a reusable asset, with relocation and adaptation potential
This pilot proved that a circular, system-based building approach is already achievable in practice — not just in theory. It has since become a reference case for further developments, including modular schools, kindergartens, and temporary public buildings.
Architects
From laying of the cornerstone to the rafters, the process took about a month… the house itself was built in about two weeks.
