Production Technology
Contrasting colors and materials are used in the facade decoration, which emphasizes the complex and unusual shape of the building, more clearly revealing its features. Window openings are mainly made from floor to ceiling, revealing the interiors of the house on the site and providing the best view characteristics; in addition, this technique allows you to visually dissolve the building in the surrounding landscape by looking through the house and glare on a large number of panoramic glazing.
Design Challenge
A special challenge was the partial preservation of the structural part of the building with a minimum number of dismantling works, significantly transforming only its outer shell. This was solved by a thorough analysis of the structure and the development of specific nodes.
Research
The project provides for the reconstruction of an existing residential building and landscaping of the site.
Methodology: Primary needs, Information Gathering, Problem definition, design and planning.
Inspiration
The architecture of the facades of the building after reconstruction is emphatically modern, the principles of building facades are based on modernist principles, corresponding to current global trends.
Project Duration
The project started in 2020. Design development (DD) was complete in Spring 2021. Construction Phase underway today.
The Object is located in Latvia in the northeast of Riga.
Operation Flow
The building of the residential building is designed for year-round residence of the customer and his family members, as well as the stay of a small number of guests.
