AHA Studio

Family house in Riga’s Latgale suburb

Those familiar with this neighbourhood know that plots here are small. For the first time, we encountered a situation where plot consolidation was not permitted, so we had to carefully rethink the layout to fit everything a modern family needs within the allowed building parameters.

The main sense of spaciousness comes from the living area with its high ceilings and views towards the courtyard, while the remaining spaces were designed to be as compact and efficient as possible.

The second-floor studio serves equally well for both work and hobbies. A 1.2m wide circular window fills this room with natural light.

The interior brings to life the owners’ love for vintage elements and rich green and mustard tones.

Ģimenes māja Latgales priekšpilsētā

Tie, kas pazīst šo rajonu, zina — zemesgabali te ir mazi, un pirmoreiz sastapāmies ar situāciju, kur netiek atļauta zemesgabalu apvienošana, tāpēc nācās palauzīt galvu, lai ieplānotu visu mūsdienīgai ģimenei vajadzīgo atļautajos apbūves rādītājos.

Galveno plašuma sajūtu rada dzivojamā zona ar augstajiem griestiem un skatu uz pagalmu. Pārējās telpas risinātas iespējami kompaktas.

Otrajā stāvā ir studio telpa, kas kalpo gan hobijiem, gan darbam. Dienasgaismu šeit ienes 1.2m lielais apaļais logs.

Interjerā iedzīvināta arī saimnieku mīlestība pret vintage elementiem un zaļajiem un sinepju toņiem.

The interior is shaped around clarity and everyday use.

Built-in elements, stair volumes, and attic spaces are used carefully to integrate hidden storage, keeping clutter out of sight and interiors visually calm. Furniture and storage are an integral part of the architecture rather than a later addition.

A timeless color palette ties everything together: calm grey concrete forms the background, warm wood furniture and window details bring softness, and black accents add graphic rhythm. Full-height mirrors in selected spaces reflect light and visually extend the rooms.
