The bridge space creates a new urban use scenario for the embankment.It acts as an activator of the area, creating a point where pedestrian infrastructure, visual culture, architectureand the natural landscape merge into a single system. Key functions of the space: Sightseeing: New visual corridors open up to the city, the water,and architectural landmarks. Cultural: The space supports the city's identity through artisticelements, lighting solutions, and design. Social: Creat

The café is designed as a light wooden structure placed on one of the Rail Baltica piles, using a geometric form inspired by bridge trusses. This creates a strong connection with the surrounding infrastructure while keeping the space visually warm and inviting. Natural wood tones are chosen to soften the industrial context, making the café feel more human-centered and comfortable. A bridge connects the café to a second pile, acting as both a functional link and an architectur


011 | Aksela Aivija Ķepale | Harbor of Love
A unique, romantic space created along the edge of a water canal, where architecture meets nature. Two elegant geodesic domes shape a distinctive experience—one designed for a formal wedding ceremony with seating for guests, the other for relaxed celebration, featuring a bar, café, and lounge areas. The warmth of timber structures, the proximity of water, and panoramic views lend the occasion a sense of lightness and an unforgettable atmosphere—a place where “I do” turns into


012 | Megija Valkovska | PIESTĀTNE
The concept of “PIESTĀTNE” is the "Urban Anchor"—a stationary vessel in the middle of Riga’s constant flow. Named for the Latvian word for a ship’s stop, it transforms the historic bridge piers into a social harbor where the city’s movement meets the stillness of golf. It is a landmark of intentional interruption, designed as a "brief pause" suspended over the Daugava. Here, the precision of the golf green and the casual warmth of the cafe coexist, offering a sanctuary where


018 | Amanda Avgustiņa | Floating Silence
Floating Silence is a minimal public retreat positioned on bridge columns and accessible only by boat. Suspended above the water, it offers a rare moment of quiet within the urban environment. The space is defined by simplicity: warm wooden surfaces, integrated seating, subtle lighting, and pockets of greenery. These elements work together to create a calm, immersive atmosphere that contrasts with the surrounding city. More than a structure, it is an experience — a place to p

An open-air cinema is a cozy summer evening meeting place designed for the community, friends, and families. The main idea of the project is to create a space where people can gather every Friday evening during the summer, communicate with each other, and enjoy movies under the open sky. The circular platform includes comfortable seating areas, tables, sun umbrellas, and plants, which create a cozy and calm atmosphere. A large screen allows visitors to watch movies comfortabl

This contemporary waterfront social pavilion is a minimalist glass and wood structure designed for community relaxation and leisure. The heart of the project is a multi-level wooden amphitheater tucked inside a transparent glass cube, creating a "living room" feel with cozy details like cushions, blankets, and bookshelves. Outside, three large circular floating terraces extend over the water, furnished with modern sofas and glowing sphere lamps. The visualization captures a d

The concept of this project is grounded in the idea of a multifunctional, open space that blends organically with its surroundings. The primary objective is to create a place where diverse functions—such as a bar/café, relaxation areas, a pool zone, and an aquarium gallery—coexist within a cohesive environment. In designing the space, a sculptural, undulating form was chosen, visually evoking the movement of water. Water thus becomes the central conceptual element, unifying a

This SketchUp project presents a modern small café concept located in the center of Riga with a scenic view of the Daugava River. The design combines contemporary architecture, outdoor seating, and waterfront accessibility to create a relaxing social space for visitors. The café features large glass façades, warm ambient lighting, and a spacious terrace with seating areas designed for both daytime and evening use. A pedestrian bridge connects the café to a viewing platform ab

A series of flowing terraces extends over the river, wrapping around the bridge with soft, continuous lines. The structure sits lightly above the water, supported by slender steel columns that create a sense of openness and ease. Each platform follows an organic geometry, forming a sequence of spaces that feel connected yet distinct. Movement through the project is gradual and intuitive, guiding people from one level to another without interruption. Warm timber surfaces defin

This project focuses on a small island selected within a water environment. The main idea was to create an attractive, modern, and interactive recreational space that encourages people to stop, spend time, and experience an unconventional form of leisure. An electric swing structure was designed on the island, with a mechanism that allows the swing to move vertically—rising up and descending down. This provides visitors with not only the usual swinging motion but also an addi

The café is designed to look like a ship, with curved shapes that give it a sense of movement. It has both indoor and outdoor seating that connect easily, making the space feel open and welcoming. At the back, there is also a fenced area where people can relax and enjoy the view of the river. Next to the café, there is a small place to sit, relax, and look at the river. For me, the primary shape resembled an ice cream cone, so the concept was based on ice cream, giving it a p
