We cannot separate the business from the life around us. And we don’t want to. Kapitel has been a successful business venture and we thrive by investing in the community we are part of.
Kõltsu Manor is located by the sand dunes of seaside Laulasmaa. A building from the pages of a fairytale, the natural surroundings, the sound of the sea and the wooden architecture with Swiss influences make it a special place unique among Estonian manors.
Many of the old details of the manor had survived and were successfully restored: doors, windows with beautiful wooden arches, glazed tile stoves and the timber panelled ceiling in the dining hall. Authentic parquet has been collected from the entire house for the main hall floor, which is adorned with a wind rose restored according to the original design. The garden smoothly blends with a forest park, where well-maintained paths and light arched bridges lead the walker directly to the beach.
We restored this late 19th-century manor house and park between 2007 and 2010 opened it for excursions, concerts and distinguished events.

In 2019, we gave the fortified town wall and towers of Tallinn’s Old Town a contemporary lighting solution that shows off their magnificence in the dark winter months. The shadows and light seem to whisper us stories of life in Tallinn throughout the ages, highlighting their dignified form and unique details. This project is one of the largest investments of private capital made in Tallinn’s urban space.
Together with the Faculty of Architecture at the Estonian Academy of Arts, we participated in a research project that explored the urban development visions and spatial scenarios of the future of Tallinn.

The non-profit organisation Maria ja Lapsed (Maria and Children) offers therapy and a home for children left without parental care in the Lääne-Viru and Ida-Viru counties. We presented one family in the home the freedom of having their very own vehicle, so that the children and their foster parents could conveniently go about their daily business and enjoy outings together.
At the SOS Children's Village, children without parents are brought up in loving and caring homes. We helped to establish a family home at Kohtla-Järve.
