Elmar Lohk

Elmar Lohk, Russian-Estonian architect (d. 1963)
Elmar Lohk (15 June 1901 – 11 February 1963) was an Estonian architect. Many of his buildings in Tallinn are now valued as great examples of 1930s architecture, for example, the prominent Scandic Hotel Palace on Freedom Square. His creation can be categorised as functionalism with some influence of Chicago school and traditional art.
