Considering the unique architecture of the LNMM building, its importance of representation, and significant contribution to the cultural heritage the proposed extension strategy is based on:
preservation of the existing building capacity and authentic details;
clearly expressed modern volume and subtle minimal design of the additional spaces needed for renewal and extension of museum functions;
redesign of the functional strategy of the existing building, that would allow more efficient use of the existing building and ergonomic integration of the extension.
Following these aspects we offer a functionally and aesthetically balanced project of the reconstruction and extension of the building of the Latvian National Museum of Art, preserving the building as a historical urban landmark and giving to it modern functionality.
