In a late 19th century eclecticism style building, one part of the apartment had acquired new layers in the Soviet years and “wild” 1990s after Latvia regained its independence. Fortunately, the other part still maintained many of its original features, such as cornices and coved ceilings. This contrast is one we decided to keep in place, play with and enhance. The tactful balance between the old and new forms the backbone of the design as we preserved what was left and injected brave new elements, upholding the distinction between the two parts of the apartment.

Another guiding motive was the clients’ collection of art by Latvian painter Kristīne Luīze Avotiņa, whose expressive style resonates with their sense of taste and attitude to life. Her works markedly influenced the apartment’s colour palette and fabric selection. The clients – a family of five – allow themselves to enjoy life to the fullest, and their joy and passion both fuelled and inspired us too.

All in all, our collaboration on this project lasted almost four years as we delved deep into the details, which together conjure a highly personalised home. The clients feel good in their new home. They describe it as a comfortable environment full of a lively energy.
We have integrated a dedicated space for leisure and hobbies for each of the family members. The green kids playground easily is combined with ladies greenery.

Three children rooms have each their own colourful personality. As the bathroom is shared, the difference in sizes of the sinks does divide the personal space in very visually appealing way.
Also kids bedrooms are colour toned with different personalities to support the individuality of each.
