Description
The building is located in Purvciems, in the block between Stirnu and Upeņu Streets. The key concept of the project defines that the parking lot and transport flows are separated from recreational areas. The location and configuration of buildings enabled developing landscaped courtyards filled with greenery and sunlight. One of the main determining factors of this project was the structural schemes and key construction materials selected by the employer – prefabricated reinforced concrete sandwich panels which played a significant role in the architectural solution options and image of the building.
