OUR PROJECTS

The granary built in 1900 is located in Berzciems, a seaside homestead. Reconstruction solutions create 4 two-story apartments for guest accommodation. The old-new relationship in the building has been realized in an unobtrusive way, so that the changes in the village landscape are gentle. From the granary structures, it was possible to preserve the exterior stone masonry walls. The reconstruction solutions preserve the finishing techniques and the range of tones characteristic of the building and village building traditions. Each apartment has a terrace so that guests can enjoy the sea view, which is one of the greatest assets of this place.

The building is located in the territory of the urban planning monument "Historical Center of the City of Riga". There are 62 apartments in the building, commercial premises are located on the first floor facing the street.

In accordance with the urban situation, the part of the building facing the street intersection is built at a height of three floors, gradually rising to a height of six floors along Dzirnavu street.

The appearance of the facades is solved as a synthesis of historical and modern architectural languages. In the facades facing the streets, brick is chosen for finishing, several shades and different textures are used. The facade of the courtyard uses a more laconic decoration of large-format plates.

The building is located in the protection zone of the historical center of Riga. It houses 96 apartments. Premises on the ground floor closer to the street are used to facilitate public function - shops and offices.

The lower five floors of the building, both facing the street and in the courtyard, are designed in a uniform style, the upper two floors have a different character. Respecting the historical landscape of the city, the part of the building facing the street is crowned with a gable roof. A more expressive solution is used for the part of the building in the courtyard - the upper two floors are surrounded by a strip of terraces. More exclusive, spacious apartments are located on these floors.

The project emphasizes the use of outdoor space - most apartments have a terrace or balcony and the roof planes are used for communal recreation areas.

Shopping mall with floor area around 12 000 m2. Visual character of the building is defined by curved facade with rhythmically arranged vertical lamellas on it and large, slim cantilever at the tip of the curved building volume. Visual effect is complemented by a bright red facade tone. The pattern of decorative lighting at the tips of lamellas creates a special mood when passing by in the dark.

The building is located in Majori neighborhood, Jūrmala – in quarter between the dunes and street, just 200m from the sea. The goal of the project is to preserve the existing wooden buiding, very characteristic for Jūrmala, to restore it's facades historically accurate, and to design a new building block – contemporary and ascetic. During the work process a comparison has been made between the grandfather (existing building) and the grandson (new building). They both are similar, yet so different – separated by the time.

Simple shapes with gable roofs are reminiscent of the old fishherman houses, which are very well suited to the land plots in the heart of the Old Town near the Ventmal Promenade. The new volumes harmoniously fit into the environment and allow to stand out the decorative rich facades of Ūdens Street 6th and 8th. 

offer for the competition which create consistent architectural solutions with the historic territory, humane public space, where the structures, territory improvement and human are dominant and the presence of traffic flow is negligible.
