Description
The building was designed in an expressive manner considering the fact that this location is situated by the "gates" of Riga and the main city motorway. The composition of the volume complies with the breakdown of functions inside the building. The roof line of the showroom forms a graceful silhouette towards Brīvības gatve supplemented with upfilling of the terrain and greenery on the Bonaventuras Street corner. The visual image of the building reflects the proximity of the Open Air Museum and the lake (wattle fences, lake reeds, fish scales) in an associative manner. Entrance volume accentuated with a decoratively contrasting wooden cladding facing Brīvības gatve and Brīvdabas Street. . Natural materials accentuated in finishing: decorative wooden beam cladding, titanium-zinc sheets.
