稻草剧院建在塔林中部，在以前的斯考恩堡垒之上，这是塔林最好保存的巴洛克堡垒之一。20世纪初，这座堡垒用作公共花园，在苏联时期，它或多或少是苏联海军的禁区，上面有一个木制的夏令营和一个公园。在夏令营被烧毁，苏联军队离开后的二十年里，这个堡垒仍然是城镇中心的一个封闭和被忽视的地方，有房地产争议和几个失败的大规模开发计划。在这种情况下，秸秆剧院是一种尝试承认和暂时重新激活该地点，测试其潜力，并使其重新使用，所有这一切都同样适当地尊重所有的历史层的遗址。

The Straw Theatre is built in central Tallinn, on top of the former Skoone bastion, one of the best preserved baroque fortifications of Tallinn. At the beginning of the 20th century, the bastion worked as a public garden, and during the Soviet era it was more or less restricted recreational area for the Soviet navy with a wooden summer theatre and a park on top. For twenty years after the summer theatre burnt down and the Soviet troops left, the bastion remained a closed and neglected spot in the centre of town with real estate controversies and several failed large-scale development plans. In such a context, the Straw Theatre is an attempt to acknowledge and temporarily reactivate the location, test its potential and bring it back to use, doing all this with equally due respect to all historical layers of the site.

剧院的长方形主音量与海军夏季剧院的位置完全相同，后者的一层楼梯下降的楼梯被用作有盖的走廊和稻草剧院的入口处。大楼周围环绕着各种户外娱乐活动，包括超大棋盘、乒乓球、秋千和烤箱，所有这些都带有非商业性和令人愉悦的低调感觉。

The rectangular main volume of the theatre is situated exactly on the same spot as the navy summer theatre, and one descending flight of stairs of the latter is used as a covered walkway and entrance area to the Straw Theatre. The building is surrounded by various outdoor recreational functions including an oversized chess board, table tennis, swings, and a baking oven, all with a non-commercial and pleasantly low-key feel.

这座建筑的戏剧性吸引力源于它在现场的背景环境，以及它的黑色、不妥协的主音量，与带有清晰角屋顶的下降的“尾巴”形成对比。人们无法逃避已被喷涂成黑色的无盖稻草包材料的影响。秸秆剧院是一个独特的场合，稻草被用于大型公共建筑，并调整成一个精致的建筑形式。为加固目的，秸秆墙已用桁架加固，这是一种以前未使用的建筑。由于这座建筑是临时性的，所以它并没有像普通的稻草结构所要求的那样隔热，而是一直保持开放，以体验材料的原始触觉质量，并强调这种可持续材料生命周期的象征水平。

The dramatic appeal of the building stems from its contextual setting on the site and its black, uncompromisingly mute main volume contrasting with a descending "tail“ with an articulate angular roof. One cannot escape the effect of the material of uncovered straw bales which have been spray painted black. The Straw Theatre is a unique occasion where straw has been used for a large public building and adjusted to a refined architectural form. For reinforcement purposes, the straw walls have been secured with trusses, which is a type of construction previously unused. As the building is temporary, it has not been insulated as normal straw construction would require but has been kept open to experience the raw tactile qualities of the material and accentuate the symbolic level of the life cycle of this sustainable material.
