About Elmar Lohk

Elmar Lohk was an Estonian architect and tennis player. 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. Lohk won several prizes for architecture in international competitions: the Officer's Casino in Kaunas, Tallinn Town Hall and the Tallinn Art Museum. In 1944, Lohk won the first prize in the competition for Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg. He also played tennis and has won Estonian Championships titles in doubles.
