PHILIPPE

Property of PHILIPPE

Restaurant

LAYOUT1

The restaurant is in a renovated wooden building that dates back to the early 20th century. It’s located in Jurmala, Latvia’s summer capital by the Baltic Sea.

LAYOUT1

LAYOUT2

The interior design concept is based around the floor ornaments characteristic of wooden architecture. We selected history-inspired wallpaper and Modernist furnishings to accompany the flooring. Together, the elements combine to create a fittingly opulent space. Authentic wooden elements were restored in the facade of the building and its interior.

The main prerequisites for the exclusive nature of the VIP hall, meeting rooms and the gallery were their size and the purity of the environment. Natural materials were used in the rooms and carpets are hand-woven. Brand-name furniture from companies such as Giorgetti was chosen intentionally due to its recognisability and outstanding quality.

In the dispatcher facility, priorities included acoustics, ergonomics and other functional aspects, as well as overall cosiness for workers who are there on a 24/7 basis.

The result of the the reconstruction of former garages into three townhouse-style buildings.

Hidden in an internal courtyard of Riga, they benefit from a special atmosphere that differs from the city’s dominant feel and typical architecture.One of the apartments is designed to resemble a loft with exposed metal structures. We combined cool concrete and brick finishing with linen, soft furnishings from natural materials, Dutch and Scandinavian accessories. Together, they create an industrial, but modern and cosy environment.

See below the whole series of 3 loft apartments.

Honouring the historical value of the space and surroundings, the architecture and interior shine the light on delicately preserved authentic details. We uncovered bare brick and wood and integrated it with a lick of grey paint.

The wine room, coffee and tapas bar, and other parts of the restaurant are separated with furniture and curtains to provide privacy for individual groups.The ascetic ambience serves as a backdrop for bright personalities, journeys of flavour and special occasions.

LAYOUT1

From interior to menu, the slow living philosophy is Cock & Bull’s guiding principle. The restaurant encourages a return to our roots serving pure and uncomplicated meals with a focus on the best available ingredients. Meat is the hero. The experience reminds diners that eating animals is not unnatural but should be done responsibly. The chefs receive most of their ingredients from local family-run farms and businesses. One should not forget that the origins of our food are humble and honest.

LAYOUT2

Therefore, the leather, shou sugi ban timber, rough wood and metal applied in the design are references to farms and butcher shops. A large Josper grill takes centre stage. Diners literally see their food being cooked whilst seated. They’re in good company.

A key feature of the interior is the large scale photographs of the farmers and producers who supply the restaurant. In respect of the slow philosophy, the photographs are a special commission from photographer Māris Ločmelis who uses the wet plate technique.

LAYOUT1

LAYOUT3

As the interior concept so clearly represented the restaurant’s values and owners’ intentions, it also became the backbone of the restaurant’s marketing strategy. With a location in Riga old town, Cock & Bull restaurant easily draws tourists but needed to appeal to locals as well.

Private Residence

LAYOUT1

This pavilion-style house in Latvia benefits from 360 degree views of the rural landscape. Designed to be an out-of-town residence, it sits within a sparsely populated area where passing wildlife is more common than humans.

LAYOUT1

LAYOUT2

To make the most of the vivid natural setting, the home itself is minimalist. The exterior is clad in tar-treated pine while the decking is larch. The deck provides ample space to spend a large portion of time in the fresh air. Through the windows and covered sections of the deck, the outdoors can be enjoyed year-round. Indoors, the minimalist story continues. There are no loose ends or redundant features. The purity of the environment helps residents tune into the holiday mindset and put their busy urban lives on hold.

LAYOUT2

LAYOUT1

Traditionally, Latvian homes have always had some form of yard and this was important to the owner. We designed a terraced garden to create that pocket of privacy and amplify the sense of ownership and belonging to the place. The rest of the landscape has been left to grow wild for minimum impact on the natural environment.

This twin house showcases a bold geometric form that clearly distinguishes the two parts of a twin house while maintaining harmony with the surrounding landscape. The design uses contrasting natural materials - metal and wood cladding - to define and separate each unit visually. These materials complement one another, enhancing the home’s modern yet grounded aesthetic.

Side-facing balconies have been strategically integrated to offer each homeowner private outdoor space, ensuring both individuality and comfort. The overall layout balances visual impact with sensitivity to the site, blending bold architectural expression with livable, functional design.

The design reflects a confident lifestyle where joy, individuality, and functionality meet in every corner.
