His best known work is the current City Hall of Tallinn, built in 1932 - with its red clinker mosaique façade and lanterns by the Estonian sculptor [[Jaan Koort]], it is the most prominent building surrounding Freedom Square, and the most beautiful example of expressionist [[art deco]] in Tallinn.
Red clinker mosaique was soon copied on another of Natus' well-known building on the corner of Pärnu and Roosikrantsi street, only a few hundred meters from the City Hall. This building was inspirated by [[Johann Friedrich Höger]]'s Chilehaus in [[Hamburg]].
Natus has also created several [[Functionalism (architecture)|functionalistic]] apartment buildings and private dwellings.
 
In [[1920's]] Natus (together with [[Ernst Gustav Kühnert]]) drew the general plans for garden cities Merivälja and [[Nõmme]], both just outside Tallinn (Nõmme was added to Tallinn in 1940).
