Summary/Abstract: This article describes changes in Estonian village life in the late 1920s and in the 1930s, when the state started standardising new farm buildings, and compact new settlements with infrastructures were planned on virgin lands beside ancient developing villages. Discarding different unsuitable standard projects, five projects were finally accepted in the middle of the last decade. The key words in this article are ‘fireproof material’ and ‘maintaining a traditional type of building’.
