Description

The tender proposal envisaged creating a six-floor perimeter building environment preserving the existing greenery elements – 2 bigger trees and a hedge grow along Kr. Barona Street – thus creating public outdoor space. By closing the block, the new volumes shape a uniform urban ensemble and an architectural emphasis at the street intersection. The tree growing by Lāčplēša Street "interrupts" the building volume; this is where a greened front yard begins and turns into a courtyard. Thanks to cable bridges running through the courtyard through tree branches, the tree "grows together" with the spatial architecture of the building.
