The design for Väike- Õismäe comes from the Estonian architects Malle Meelak and Mart port. He was implemented 1973-1984. The district was originally planned for 45,000 people. Model should be the urban planning concepts by the British architect Ebenezer Howard (1850-1928), with its geometric garden cities.

The center of the satellite town is an artificial Round Lake. The inner circle of five - to nine-story high-rise buildings are located in bricks. The outer circle form tower-like high-rise buildings with sixteen storeys. They are partly of brick and partly built in bricks. The green areas are spacious.
Schools, kindergartens and shops are grouped in a ring around the lake. Behind a ring road that connects Väike- Õismäe with the other parts of Tallinn, there are another four -story buildings.
