Apartment Building Complex in Historic Wooden Riga District

Arhitekti Ārgaļi, Plio

The complex consists of two historic buildings in the Wooden Riga district of the Latvian capital. The two buildings historically housed a police station, and now are restored to house modern living spaces. The wooden building – the historic residence of police officers – on the side of the street was restored to its original state, whereas the brick building – the actual police station (until 1918, later – Swedish Cotton Factory) – was transformed into a completely remodelled industrial building with four “townhouse” type apartments.
