OUTOFBOX Architecture

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

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.
