The project site is in a revitalizing Riga neighborhood near the city center and Daugava riverbank, transitioning from a historic working-class area to a socially and architecturally evolving district. 

The design proposes a mixed-use residential building with commercial spaces on the ground floor and underground parking, addressing the site’s challenging geometry and context. Emphasizing a dual architectural language, the building harmonizes with the historic character along Katrīnas Street while adopting a modern, dynamic expression on Eksporta Street. The project aims to create a high-quality, contemporary living environment that respects Riga’s heritage while supporting neighborhood regeneration.
