latvian studio NRJA’s latest project was the development of a multi-functional office building, situated along miera street in the country’s capital city, riga. the minimal structure is dominated visually by a wedge-shaped corner façade that shrinks from roofline to ground floor.
the site is situated on a four-way intersection
inside is a flexible combination of retail, office, and top-level residential units. after-tension concrete floors are supported by reinforced concrete sections, allowing floor space to remain column free. the form unifies with surrounding architectural projects as well; enriching rather than competing. the multi-functional building concept was designed by NRJA.
the proposal was envisioned to be a local landmark
pedestrian, cyclist, automobile, and public transport needs were incorporated into the design
the concept seeks visual harmony with a neighboring project across the street
