Riga was one of the largest and most advanced industrial and port cities in the pre-World War I era. This epoch generated an important architectural heritage that forms a large part of the city’s collective identity. The site on which we intervene is part of this heritage: once an important logistics hub of the city it retains a strong recognizability for the community. Furthermore, the recent Hanza Perons adaptive reuse has transformed the former goods warehouse into a lively platform for culture, art and other events.
