拉脱维亚立法保护海岸线不受过度建筑行为的影响。新建筑是不允许的，但是，在现有的地基上建造是允许的。Open AD的客户购买了一处沿海房产，打算对其进行改造，工作室同意接受这一挑战。
Latvian legislation protects the coastline from excessive building practices. Newbuilds are not permitted, however, it is permitted to build on existing foundations. Open AD’s clients purchased a coastal property with the intent of transforming it and the studio agreed to the challenge.
该房产由四个独立的、相当不匹配的建筑组成--主屋、车库、棚屋和花园洋房--每个建筑都有自己的特点。Open AD确定了保留所有结构的方法，在风格上将它们统一起来，并将它们与沿海地区联系起来。两种主要的覆层材料--落叶松和镀锌钢--的灵感来自于大海和天空的颜色。建筑物的形状和它们的坡屋顶与历史上渔民住宅的乡土建筑相呼应，这也是该地区著名的地方。
The property consisted of four standalone and rather mismatched buildings – the main house, a garage, shed, and garden house – each with its own character. Open AD identified ways to keep all the structures, unify them stylistically and tie them in with the coastal location. The two dominant cladding materials – larch and galvanized steel – are inspired by the colors of the sea and sky. The shape of the buildings and their gable roofs echo the vernacular architecture of the historical fishermen’s dwellings, which the area is known for.
虽然曾经是活跃的渔业社区的所在地，但今天的沿海城镇有一个混合的身份。度假者是当地织锦的重要组成部分。这个住宅也被设计成家庭度假，但一年四季都可以居住。考虑到其主要目的，Open AD的设计有利于在室内和室外之间自由流动。像有盖的二楼阳台这样的解决方案，无论天气和风向如何，都能提供户外通道。
While once home to active fishing communities, today’s coastal towns have a mixed identity. Holidaymakers are a big part of the local tapestry. This home is also designed as a family getaway, but liveable throughout the year. Considering its main purpose, Open AD’s design facilitates flowing freely between the indoors and outdoors. Solutions like the covered second-floor balcony provide outdoor access no matter the weather and wind conditions.
一个有遮蔽的户外用餐区鼓励人们在里加湾的景色中共同进餐。所有建筑的窗户位置都确保了人们始终能感受到大海的存在。住户也可以在阳台上舒适的位置看海。
A sheltered outdoor dining area encourages shared meals with a view across the Gulf of Riga. The positioning of windows across all buildings ensures that the presence of the sea is always felt. Residents can also just watch the sea from a comfortable position on the terrace.
没有盛气凌人，住宅反映了北方人的矜持和谦虚。没有任何元素是纯粹的装饰性的，为了不影响沿海景观的粗犷之美。即使是像排水管和排水沟这样的实用性元素也被隐藏起来，或者用雨链代替。建在车库和户外用餐区外墙上的架子系统有助于保持外部整洁。它们还允许在花园上进行扩展，花园是由Galanthus花园景观建筑公司设计的。
Exuberance-free, the home reflects northerners’ reserved and modest nature. No element is purely decorative, in order not to take away from the rugged beauty of the coastal landscape. Even pragmatic elements like drains and gutters are hidden or replaced with a rain chain. The shelving systems built into the façade of the garage and outdoor dining area assist in keeping the exterior tidy. They also allow expansion on the garden, which is designed by Galanthus Gardens landscape architecture firm.
