RIGA, HOUSING

Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects – VLA – won the international competition for a high-rise building complex in Riga, Latvia.

The idea behind the proposal is to create a varied, lively dwelling environment through a synthesis between scandinavian design and the existing urban landscape. VLA used the potential of the site itself as a starting point and combined it with the goal of creating an architecture which is full of light, air and varied experiences.

The competition proposal comprises an area of 35.310 m² with 420 apartments, including a residential tower which is the landmark of the complex. VLA participated in the competition in cooperation with Schønherr Landskab.
