''Sintēze'' 

''Synthesis''

Conceptual project - community garden in ''Grīziņdārzs''.

 Designed in the shape of a human fingerprint, symbolizing the interaction and coexistence between people and plants. 

As part of the project, a conceptual circular irrigation system was designed alongside an integrated plant lighting solution that combines specialized solar panels with LED technology.

The materials are chosen by the site’s context, prioritizing materials available on location. In addition, a specially developed bio-receptive concrete is incorporated to enhance natural moisture regulation.

''Felsko School for Young Architects'' (Felsko Jauno Arhitektu skola)

The interior concept is inspired by the architectural research of Johanna Daniela Felsko, especially his work in Neo-Gothic and Eclectic styles. The design includes elements such as semicircular arches, decorative brick details, historic shapes, and stained-glass patterns. Combined with modern materials, these features create a space that feels contemporary while still connected to history. The design respects Riga’s architectural heritage and presents it in a modern way.

Diploma work

Interior design development for a one-story house project for a couple, without children. Interior includes accents of African, Wabi-sabi and modern Boho styles, complementing the owner’s earthenware collection.

The client's request was for the rooms to be as open as possible, avoiding long and closed corridors.

To give more space, one bedroom was created so that it could be both a creative space for the wife and a bedroom for guests. The cabinet was specially created for the architect, consulting with the customer's own requirements.
