Among Riga's architecture of the modern history, dominated by the richness of details and materials, Vesetas Street 6 is designed as an object of contemporary Renaissance — ascetic in expression, harmonious in Renaissance-inspired proportions and distinct in terms of the proposed concept of the living space.
Vesetas Street 6 is a quality living space in the modern centre of Riga, where a fresh high-quality building zone is being developed nearby Riga’s historical and silent centre.This is an attractive environment for a modern city dweller.
In the vicinity, the central traffic street is Skanstes iela, but the limits of the neighborhood are marked by Pulkveža Brieža, Hanzas, Vesetas and Duntes iela, as well as Ganību dambis and the railway.
The design solution of RENAISSANCE is based on the creation of high-quality living space and the fusion of the quarter / street space.
By combining these guidelines, the mission of the project is to create an object with its visual image and its exposed function open to the street landscape, actively participating in creation of it with its naturally changing processes inside the complex, while providing the building's occupants with a quality living space and unrestricted visual and outdoor connection with the urban space.
The colonnade at the height of several floors, detaching the outdoor space, serves as a reference to the classical architecture principles, creating impression of the building's monumental character inside and outside.
The complex is made of single-storey and separate split-level apartments. In the interior and on the façade, the split-level apartments with a double height create a unique image of the building, at the same time reflecting each apartment as a separate, individual living unit. Each apartment has an enclosed and covered outdoor space separated, from the rest of the building, giving a sense of privacy.
