He first completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter before studying architecture at the Technical University of Berlin, undertaking various internships, including one at Herzog & de Meuron in Basel and an international study at ETH Zurich. After earning his diploma, he worked for several architectural firms, completed a master's degree in historic preservation, and became a certified real estate specialist.

Andero has been involved in construction and project management since 2007. During this time he has developed over 100,000 m2 of buildings and designed more than 1000 apartments.

Andero is the kind of guy it is very difficult to truly butt heads with. Although discussions with him can sometimes get a little heated, he is rational and pragmatic by nature. His aim is to create long-term value that has an impact on people’s lifestyles and environment. He is bold enough to make big decisions and understands the long-term impact of activities.

Before founding Liven, Andero worked for 7 years at the international construction and property development company Skanska, where he started as a foreman on the construction site and ended up as a business manager on the management team.

He has a master’s degree in industrial and civil engineering from Tallinn University of Technology, and since the summer of 2022 he is studying AMDP (Advanced Management Development Program in Real Estate) at Harvard University.

Oliver has been working in the field of construction and design since 2004. As a master’s degree recipient in industrial and civil engineering at Tallinn University of Technology, he started working as a construction designer and remained in this profession for ten years. Working as a designer, Oliver focused mainly on the design of wooden structures. Dozens of buildings have been constructed on the basis of his projects in Scandinavia, as well as in Germany, Italy and Spain.In addition to technical design work, Oliver has also held several leadership roles. He has directed various teams of engineers in businesses engaged in the design and production of wooden buildings, as well as in a real estate development company. For five years, he put himself to the test as CEO of a company engaged in the export of construction products, and he is not a stranger to sales work in the field of construction materials.
Family is of importance to Oliver with whom he spends most of his free time. On weekends, he enjoys spending time in nature and jogging in the woods in the evenings. Playing tennis with friends is also a source of pleasure for him.

He considers it important not to stay in the comfort zone, but to place himself in situations where he is forced to make an effort and learn something new.

Andres has been active in real estate development since 1997. Since then, he has developed a couple of thousand apartments, managed a number of detailed plans to their adoption and successfully completed 2 business cycles.

For Andres, family is all-important. Travelling helps him relax and appreciate the other things that are important in life. He believes that in order to survive in this rapidly developing world, you must learn and develop constantly. He works with the aim of improving both the people and the environment around him. With such an approach, what he does is not work as such…

Andres graduated from the Faculty of Construction Economics and Management at Tallinn Technical University in 1994. He then worked as the head of the Harmin Architectural Bureau and the real estate development company Maarjamäe Maja. Since 2001 he has held different positions in Skanska EMV – starting out as a project manager and working his way up to chairman of the board.

When planning projects Andres follows the principle that every apartment in a development project should be built so well that you would happily live there yourself.

Magnus improves the Home Designer tool on a daily basis

Magnus has a deep passion for problems. Problems attract him like a magnet because he enjoys finding solutions, especially when technology can be utilised to address them. This interest led him to the construction industry, where the application of technology is still rather new but holds immense potential.

Magnus developed his very first website which gained worldwide attention when he was only 13 years old. He is also one of the founders of the popular Tallinn Agile Meetup event series in the IT community. After graduating from University of Tartu with a degree in software development, Magnus has worked for various successful technology companies.

During his free time, Magnus is drawn to Spanish culture, discovering the exciting French cuisine, monitoring the US stock markets, and reading history books. As a “corona refugee,” he relocated to the summer capital of Estonia, Pärnu, and is proudly promoting the city to everyone else as well.

Alina is the creative director of Liven, that is, she does everything that engineers don’t

A person’s professional ability mostly consists of two things. What they learned in school and what they focus on in their free time. In Alina’s case these these two sides are almost controversial.

If, based on her educational background, she is a specialist with several master’s degrees, who feels equally at home in management, marketing and service design, she devotes her free time to an almost hippyish discovering of the world.

She is no stranger to Berlin’s nightlife and Sri Lanka’s surfing culture, ascetic hiking or Alliksaar’s poetry. She has mastered several disciplines, which is the foundation for being a creative director. Only if you have enough different Lego bricks, can you create something that has never been done before.

Alina has moved to more places in her life than all Liven’s people put together. It can be concluded that she is attracted by constant forward movement. As the only exception, she has been working at Liven since 2016. If you are reading this text, she does so to this day.

Mihkel has been soaking up experience in construction management in Estonia and Finland since 2006. His portfolio includes three apartment buildings, 70 apartments and even an airport.

Mihkel likes the saying “What is measured improves”– Peter F. Drucker
