Understanding the character of Āgenskalns was the starting point for this residential apartment complex, where familiar elements of the neighborhood, such as weathered wooden architecture and abundant urban greenery, are reinterpreted to create architecture that feels rooted in place. This is a 18-residence community that consists of 10 townhouses, organized around an intimate garden with a biological pool and a shared sauna house.

Wood, brick and aluminum define the exterior. Though united by a shared architectural  silhouette, each house retains a distinct character. The design plays with contrasts between brick and timber, using ornaments to accentuate the aluminum window frames. Ecological building materials and natural tar paint for the façade make the dwellings sustainable and friendly both for man and nature.

At the heart of this 18-residence community is a shared garden. The townhouses enclose a private shared landscape with a biological swimming pool, relaxation areas, and a communal sauna with an outside shower, all nestled among preserved mature linden trees. For every building, a front and back garden with flowering shrubs has been tended, so to bring families closer to the nature while living the dynamic city rhythm.

In the property some of the historic elements have been retained, such as veranda with stained glass windows, characteristic of 20th century wooden homes, seen all across the Āgenskalns neighborhood

This is an older project we first began working on in 2017. After a period of inactivity, the apartment complex has now been revived and has quickly gained recognition, receiving 2nd place in the Residential Buildings category of The Most Sustainable Projects in the Baltics 2026.
