Apartment on Strēlnieku Street
A curved wall layout allows direct sunlight to reach deep into the apartment, all the way to the entrance door. A built-in storage furniture extends throughout the entire apartment, beginning at the entrance as a wardrobe and continuing seamlessly into the kitchen. The vertical cabinet elements are crafted from grey wood-fiber panels, while the horizontal kitchen volumes and the cooking island are finished in a contrasting, warmly toned oak veneer. The clean, minimalist surfaces are complemented by spherical concrete handles. The material palette is completed by a final accent - the vivid red tomatoes in a painting by Gundega Rancāne.

Two doors leading to the bedrooms are integrated into the built-in storage unit, finished in the same grey wood-fiber panels. A dining table continues the kitchen countertop in matching oak veneer, illuminated by stainless-steel fixtures.

Warm tones and textiles are used throughout the bedrooms and the lounge area around the sofa. The parents’ bedroom features an open wardrobe - a piece of furniture that serves as a room divider and incorporates a small home office. The curtain fixtures are concealed within the ceiling, visually extending the height and presence of the windows. The two bathrooms feature curved walls around the shower and bathtub, combining materials of varying textures in the wood-fiber paneled furniture and terrazzo tiles. The curved walls are clad in warm-toned, subtly uneven tiles, adding a tactile component.
