The studio
Since its founding in 2013 Riga based architecture studio GAISS has had the opportunity to work on a wide variety of projects both in Latvia and abroad, ranging from newly constructed buildings to renovations and interiors, from outdoor installations to exhibition layouts.
Multidisciplinary approach is a fundamental part of our everyday work and allows us to have a fresh attitude for each of the various tasks. We collaborate with engineers, designers, artists, curators, historians and numerous other professionals to achieve thoroughly informed results for each individual project.
