由KOKO事务所设计的Fahle house是近年来爱沙尼亚经济繁荣发展下最具代表性的建筑之一。从建筑设计的角度来看，它野心勃勃；在地产开发商的眼中，它危险冒进；而对于旧建筑保护来说，它充满争议，广获大众关注。建筑位于机场和塔林市区之间的门户区域，吸引了每个经过这里的人的目光。Fahle house曾经是造纸厂的一部分，它的前身是由Erich Jacoby设计的高大的石灰岩锅炉房，它是当年这里最醒目的建筑之一。

Fable house, which was designed by KOKO, is one of the characteristic examples of architecture during the recent economic boom in Estonia. It is a building that from an architectural point of view was ambitious, from a real estate development point of view risky, and from the heritage protection point of view controversial and received a lot of attention from the public. Situated at one of the main entrances to Tallinn, between the airport and city centre, Fahle house draws the attention of every passer-by. The building is part of the complex of a former cellulose and paper factory where the most outstanding building is the tall and voluminous boiler house (1926) built from limestone and designed by architect Erich Jacoby.

重新建造的Fahle house综合体依然拥有一些服务和商业功能，如美容沙龙，餐厅等。而根据KOKO的设计来看，一栋六层楼的公寓被加建在了老锅炉房的石灰岩墙体之上，以满足居住这一主要功能。

The reconstructed Fahle house complex also carries several service and business functions, from beauty salons to a restaurant. Symbolically, the main function of the house is to provide residential spaces because based on KOKO’s designs a six-storey section with apartments was added on top of the old boiler house, on the limestone walls.

在改建开始的时候原有的内部空间已经被破坏了，这使设计师可以重新规划平面布局。办公和服务用房主要分布在旧建筑中。不同大小的公寓房则被设置在由玻璃围合的新建区域中。新建部分位于旧建筑屋顶上，由钢筋混凝土梁支撑，支撑结构被藏在老锅炉房的墙体里，直达地基。

The interior of the plant had been destroyed by the time reconstruction started and this made it possible to reorganize the internal layout and room division. Offices and service spaces are mainly located in the historical rooms of the plant. Different sized apartments are located inside the new section with a glass facade, on the roof of the former boiler house. The new section is supported by reinforced concrete beams, which have been hidden between the walls of the boiler house and reach down into the subsoil.

设计师尝试在适当的地方保留室内的墙地面等历史细节。例如送料斗被部分保留，成为了四楼办公室和住房的组成部分。这些送料斗是用钢筋混凝土制造的，可以将木料直接传送到巨大的锅炉中。锅炉已经被拆掉了，但它们的位置被用圆圈标注在了地面和天花上。

The architects tried to preserve and display the historic interior details and the wall and floor surfaces where possible. For example, the hoppers, which were partially preserved, are part of the fourth floor offices and apartments. These hoppers were funnels made from reinforced concrete, which were used to direct wood mass into the gigantic boilers. The boilers were destroyed but their locations are marked using circles on the ceilings and floors.
