Description

The building was designed making efficient use of the terrain of the Mežaparks dune and respecting the pine trees that grow in this land parcel. The location of trees, terrain and the layout of the premises towards cardinal points determined the shape of the building. The glazing of indoor premises faces the best views; terraces and cantilevers shape a multi–layered boundary between indoor and outdoor space. Positioning of the windows enables daylight to penetrate the entire building and interact with interior textures at various times of the day. Individual design of stairs, fireplace, doors and built–in furniture.
