As a modern architectural landmark on one of the main access roads to Riga's historic city center, a new, vast office complex designed by PLH Arkitekter will greet residents and visitors on their way into Latvia's capital. Spread across 10 floors, the building will offer a flexible and open environment for 2,500 employees, while the public atrium with i.a. restaurant, café, green terraces and the attractive landscape running down to the water will give new life to the whole area.

Located in a magnificent, park-like setting filled with mature, 80-foot-tall oak trees, this residence meets the clients’ desire for a family home that is casual, stylish, functional, and adaptable. Flexible indoor and outdoor spaces allow for the use and enjoyment of the site in its entirety, both house and grounds.

The owner of this new home titles it a “modern watchtower”. Located in the Catskill Mountains the home’s design capitalizes on the mountain views. The client searched a number of years to find land with the objective of creating a unique property that would stand out among short term vacation rentals in the Hudson Valley.

This large, wooded site is on a small bay on Lake Washington in the Washington Park neighborhood of Seattle. The parcel enjoys sweeping views of Lake Washington and the Cascade Mountains was well suited for our client’s collection of specimen trees.

In designing this project, client of the project were asked to design on the project like the Black House1 which we had previously designed in New York, but with a smaller area. Due to the humidity, we moved away from the ground to have natural ventilation in all sides of the project, and due to the climate, the existing context of the project was designed to be sloping form.

Biophilic design is a concept used within the building industry to increase occupant connectivity to the natural environment through the use of direct nature, indirect nature, and space and place conditions.

Universities in the USA have carefully worked on their academic authority. They are famous for the quality of teaching and prestigious lecturers, and the magnificent complexes in which you can enjoy living or studying.

The project arises as a response to two underutilized spaces in the apartment, the first, a large terrace located on the lateral side of the living room, which the builder of the housing project delivered only painted white and with a dark floor; and the second, a free area with an upper void next to the kitchen, which the inhabitants of the apartment used as a storage room.
