The idea0
The locaTion
Office Park Jurkalnes is located just outside the urban centre of Riga among other develop-ment-oriented companies. The location offers opti-mal traffic connections – a highly strategic location, within a few miles of the airport and railway station.

The office park will con-tribute to the on-going development of the area, attracting labour and residents alike. Office Park
Jurkalnes offers a rare op-portunity to establish new headquarters in Riga and contribute to the town profile.
The projecT
The concept of this project is that a heavy perforated wall running along the perimeter of the plot. Individual office buildings are situated along this wall. The four and five storey buildings encircle a large park area – exuding a feeling of an oasis in the city.
The idea of the heavy wall is to reduce noise from the railway in the office spaces as well as in the park. The wall lends to a coherent expression of the office buildings – and generates a strong impact when viewed from the train.

highesT sTandard
The developers have chosen a simple, environ-mentally friendly choice of materials meeting every conceivable require-ment for a modern office complex. Throughout, quality materials have been chosen to reinforce the expression of a clear and concise architecture. Generally, materials used inside are bright and light, mirroring, the openness of the building. All materials are sturdy and mainte-nance-friendly - minimiz-ing future operating and maintenance costs.
The layouTThe layout of the building inspires close relations, cooperation, and recipro-cal contact.
The central atrium draws light deep into the build-ing, working as the linking element in relation to the more private environ-ments.
The atrium connects the building vertically, creating a transparency and visual contact within the building. The atrium makes the dynamics and activity of the building vis-ible, providing an essential room for working and so-cial relations. Visitors gain a good view of the entire enterprise, its dynamic and interactive work-ing environment. The architecture provides an environment that attracts companies with similar identities and values.
The flexibiliTy
This building is con-structed based on a clear, open structure providing a maximum of flexibility. This enables tenants to influence the arrange-ment within the overall framework. The physical framework may likewise be changed and adapted for particular organiza-tions as they develop and generate new needs.
In this project, there is op-portunity for integrating future companies desires and demands to reflect their specific company profile and vision.
In other words, you may join the process of establishing the layout of rooms and facilities for supporting your particular company’s profile.
