Olev Siinmaa (November 12, 1881 – March 29, 1948),〔(MOMONECO: ''Pärnu Resort Functionalism'' )〕 was an Estonian architect who is perhaps best recalled for his work in the style coined "Pärnu Resort Functionalism". Olev Sinnmaa was born Oskar Siimann〔(Ülar Saar: ''Olev Siinmaa 125'' )〕 in Pärnu into a joinery shop owner's family. He studied interior and furniture design in Wismar and Konstanz technical schools in Germany.〔 In 1925, he was appointed the architect of the city of Pärnu, Estonia.〔 Siinmaa's first Funcionalist design was in 1930 on Roosikrantsi Street in the Estonian capital of Tallinn.〔 Siinmaa is possibly best recalled as the architect (along with Anton Soans) of the Pärnu Beach Hotel, constructed between 1935 and 1937.〔(Estonian Institute. ''The Pleasure of Mud. Estonian Summer Resort Architecture.'' )〕 Completed in 1937, the hotel has been described as the "flagship of the new functionalist architecture."〔 In 1938, Siinmaa, along with architect Alar Kotli competed to design the The Paslepa Residence, which was to be the Building of the Office of the then President of Estonia, Konstantin Päts.〔(The President of the Republic of Estonia )〕 Kotli designed the ceremonial spaces of the office building, while the President's Big Office was designed by Siinmaa.〔 In 1944, Siinmaa emigrated to Norrköping, Sweden where he died in 1948.〔 In 1994, after several years in disrepair, the Pärnu Beach Hotel was bought by Scandic Hotels, renovated and renamed the Scandic Rannahotell.〔(''The Independent.
