Architecturally, the building harmoniously fits into the urban fabric of Old Riga, with a façade defined by historical materials and details, including a dolomite portal, wooden doors, decorative finishes, and a rhythmic window composition. Inside, restored features - wooden staircases, panelling, tiles, and wall paintings - create a cohesive spatial narrative that merges historical substance with contemporary functionality.LA 183. Nams Mārstaļu ielā 6 ir atguvis vēsturisko pievilcību. Gadsimtu uzslāņojums kārtu pa kārtai saudzīgi atsegts, atsijājot nevērtīgo un atstājot tikai to, kas patiesi būtisks. Vecrīgas nams augstuma un apjoma ziņā iekļaujas ielas kopējā apbūves ritmā. Fasādē nolasāmi trīs stāvi ar mansarda jumtu, skatam slēpts mūra pagrabs ar velvēm un augsti bēniņi ar koka sijām. Latvijas Nacionālajam rakstniecības un mūzikas muzejam ar tik lielu krājumu šis ir visai pieticīgs apjoms, taču tieši šaurības dēļ radošajai komandai nācās meklēt oriģinālus risinājumus ekspozīcijas koncepcijas realizēšanai. Tas kļuvis par vienu no atraktīvākajiem muzejiem Latvijā. Autori arhitektu birojs Krasts, OUTOFBOX Architecture, Anna Heinrihsone u.c Plašāk Inara Appena, Ansis Starks

The apartment in the Quiet Centre had lost most of its authentic substance during the turbulent 1990s. Many interior elements had vanished into oblivion. In their place came tasteless mahogany doors, artificial stone finishes, whirlpool bathtubs, and other forms of the era’s “luxury.”
When work began, our main task was to preserve as much of the remaining value as possible - the decorative ceiling paintings and the fireplace - and to reopen the bricked-up openings.
All new elements are a paraphrase of the values of that period. The glass doors feature the flowing lines characteristic of Art Nouveau. The red veneer has been given a refined green-grey tone. Small storage rooms have been replaced with austere built-in furniture.

While athletes aim for gold as the ultimate achievement, we, as architects, together with our client, construction and engineering team, achieved platinum. Both Magdelēnas kvartāls office buildings on Antonijas Street received the highest rating.
The LEED Platinum certificate confirms that the buildings meet outstanding sustainability standards – they feature solutions that significantly reduce energy and water consumption, use environmentally friendly materials, ensure high indoor air quality, and often integrate renewable energy sources.

Inspired by midcentury modernists, this house in Jurmala aspires to timelessness. Located between existing trees, the site utilises its topography: half of the house is sunken beneath the ground, while the other half features exceptionally high ceilings.
The modernist approach stretches from the facade to materials, interiors, and furniture. Dark wood, rough concrete, iconic furniture, delicate artworks. All blend together in a timeless experience.
The functions of the house follow the topography and the pathway of the sun. From bedrooms facing the first rays of sun in the morning to the daily life exposed to the south direction, and all recreational facilities facing the last rays of the setting sun.
