Built as a telegraph exchange

The historical building, which is now decorated in new green tones, was built in 1928 according to the project of the architect Dāvids Zariņas for the needs of the telegraph exchange. The architectural heritage gives a special value to this building – at one time, the Art Deco style became a very popular choice in the construction of buildings related to modern times.

After the rebirth or renovation, the uniqueness of the house can be measured in several aspects: the selected green tone of the facade, the visual effects typical of Art Deco style architecture, the central location, as well as originality within. There are high ceilings, unusual design, wide windows and endless possibilities in interior design solutions. The particularly high ceilings allow you to rise up and build the living space on two levels, with a sleeping area or, for example, a home office with a library on the second level.

The potential of old buildings can be seen

In the “VILIA” property portfolio, this is not the first renovated project in Riga with the possibility of a second life. In 2023, the reconstruction of the building built at the beginning of the 20th century on Kuģu Street 13 was completed, which turned into a high-quality apartment building.

“We assess the buildings, focusing on their potential, historical value and location. We chose the Loft building because of its excellent location in the center of Riga and its unique architectural features, which offer a great opportunity for revitalization and integration into the modern building. We have successfully implemented the Hoffmann Rezidence project Kuģu Street 13, where we renovated a building built at the beginning of the 20th century, giving it new life and functional meaning in the modern urban environment as well implemented the ambitious project “Dainas” in the historical center of Riga, in which 112 apartments were built and offered for sale, informs the representative “VILIA”.
