His best known work is the current City Hall of Tallinn, built in 1932. Red clinker mosaique was soon used on another of Natus' well known buildings, on the corner of Pärnu and Roosikrantsi street, only a few hundred meters from the City Hall. This building was inspired by Johann Friedrich Höger's Chilehaus in Hamburg. Natus also created several functionalistic apartment buildings and private dwellings. In 1939, Natus moved to Germany, later dying in Bad Wilsnack, Germany.
