House Comet is a dwelling for a young and creative family in a green, hidden neighborhood of Riga near river Daugava. The interaction of urban and rural scenes is the impulse for a bright home with a spacious terrace, garden and workshop for active outdoor use.
Solid timber panel construction combines structural and aesthetic quality. The building consists of a linear volume of wooden panels, surrounded on the ground floor by red wood planks and a metallic corrugated steel triangular roof. Simple basic shapes in pure materiality are combined with characteristic details.
