architecture
Eugen Sacharias was one of the most important and influential planners of residential architecture in Tallinn and Estonia in the 1930s. His style was functionalist at first . It was not until the second half of the 1930s that more representative Art Nouveau elements became visible. He also built some sacred buildings.
As one of the first architects in Estonia, Sacharias used native marble from Vasalemma to design the facade .
