Appreciation towards KOKO architects for providing the following description:

Rotermann街区位于塔林老城区的重要位置，毗邻港口和Viru广场。自19世纪开始，Viru广场便已经成为通向Tartu、Narva 和 Pärnu 的路线交叉口，形成塔林的市中心交通要塞。Rotermann工厂于1829年创立，其创始人Christian Abraham Rotermann引领了该工业区的发展。几百年间，座立其中的工厂和贸易历经兴衰。这里的建筑在苏联时期层遭遇重创，又在其后的时间里逐渐衰败乃至荒废。1979年，着个破败的街区成为安德烈·塔尔科夫斯基的电影《追踪者》的取景地。2001年，国家遗产保护局将此地列为历史遗产保护地。至此，这些被废弃的工业建筑，在群楼环绕的当代城市里，找到了自己的位置。

The Rotermann quarter is in a historically important location in the heart of Tallinn – between the Old Town, the harbour and Viru Square. The roads to Tartu, Narva and Pärnu already intersected on Viru Square in the 19th century, making it Tallinn’s official central point. The Rotermann quarter is packed with historical buildings almost as densely as the Old Town. Christian Abraham Rotermann, the owner of the enterprise Rotermann Factories, established in 1829, initiated the development of the compact industrial district. Industry and trade in the quarter has seen both good times and bad. The Soviet years wrecked the buildings and during the uncertain years that followed the buildings became dilapidated so that repairs seemed impossible. In 1979 the decaying district became the set for Andrei Tarkovsky’s world famous movie “Stalker”. The National Heritage Board designated the Rotermann quarter historically valuable in 2001, and so the old industrial buildings that have found a new function should coexist peacefully with high quality contemporary architecture.

该街区最特别的建筑是一栋1904年建成的谷物升降机。该栋100米高的庞然大物，矗立于Hobujaama狭长的街道中。建筑的长立面不设开窗，空间内与其垂直相接的金属梁增加了该墙面及空间内部的稳定性。而从内伸出来的金属梁，令该建筑立面一眼望去像是一件排满纽扣的旧大衣。

One of the most spectacular buildings in the Rotermann quarter, the grain elevator located on Hobujaama Street, was completed in 1904. The narrow building is over 100 metres long. The longer sides have no windows, but instead the limestone facade of the building is accentuated by metal straps that reinforce the wall. The wall is packed with metal details, like a useful old coat covered in buttons. The straps had the purpose of keeping the grain elevator walls intact even when the grain expanded.

位于谷物升降机前的办公建筑被规划为一间餐厅。该建筑屋顶如同悬浮着于原高度抬起一米，将充足的自然光引入室内，并创造出二层空间。

The historic supervisory building in front of the grain elevator (Rotermanni 2) houses a restaurant. The roof of the building has been raised by one metre, thus appearing to hover. The aim was to let natural light enter and make it possible to use the second floor.

随着内侧的立面开口在不同时期被封闭，建筑一层被用作办公场地。这些空间的内部保留了悬挂在天花板上的老旧谷物储料器。建筑底部中间一条长长的拱廊，将空间分成左右两个部分，将来访者引入街区内部。位于建筑内部的舞厅不设开窗，而位于屋顶阁楼的办公室不仅拥有充足的自然光，还享受老城区的迷人景致。

Since the inner street side has openings that have been walled shut at various periods, the ground floor of the building houses business premises. The interiors of these rooms have preserved the old grain hoppers hanging from the ceilings. An arcade that crosses the middle part of the building on the ground floor divides the space and creates an entrance to the inner street leading towards the centre of the district. Dance studios are housed on the floor without windows and the attic provides offices with skylights that look out across the district and the Old Town.
