võrgunurka

Võrgunurka is a term used in Estonian to describe a specific type of dwelling or living space. It can be translated literally as "network corner" or "web corner." While not a universally recognized architectural term, in common usage, it often refers to a small, somewhat enclosed or secluded area within a larger room or building, often adapted for living or working.

Historically, or in more traditional contexts, a võrgunurka might have been a corner of a larger peasant house, perhaps partitioned off with a curtain or a simple screen, used for sleeping or as a personal workspace. In contemporary settings, the term can be applied more loosely to describe a cozy nook, a reading corner, a small home office set up in an unused space, or even a semi-private area within an open-plan living space. The emphasis is on a distinct, often small, zone that serves a particular purpose, providing a sense of enclosure or privacy within a more communal area. The exact nature of a võrgunurka can vary greatly depending on the context and the specific arrangement of the space.
