Okay,Estonian architecture bureau Kosmos entry on design competition:











More renders and plans (select Riga Skanstes at the menu): http://www.kosmoses.ee/1000000.html

I hope that this was same contest,as architects vaguely marked this design as "urban houses at Skanstes,Riga". Anyway,they didn't reach any notable position. Afaik,top three were German,Latvian and Austrian (not sure) companies.

Great design! The estonian one is cool i guess, but the winning one is better in my mind. When will the work start?

Has anyone heard anything new about this project?

I have nothing new, but I found other proposals for this project which didn't win. I think 3rd - Vilhelm Lauritzen Arkitekter also was great proposal.

1. Gensler


2. Broadway Malyan


3. Vilhelm Lauritzen Arkitekter


4. NRJA


5. Silis, Zabers un Klava

Probably found some clue about possible construction date.

Quote from REAL ESTATE MARKET REVIEW / ANNUAL REPORT, MARCH 2013 by Sorainen & Colliers International:

"Speculative office stock may increase in 2015/2016 when an A class office centre with a
total estimated leasable area of 16,500 sqm will be commissioned, as the first development
phase of the large scale development scheme New Hanza City, located in the heart of future
Riga CBD between Hanzas, Skanstes and Pulkveza Brieza Streets"

Sāk būvēt New Hanza City īslaicīgas lietošanas biroju ēku un autostāvvietu.

Rakstā minēts, ka pagaidu būve ir kā pirmais etaps, lai sāktos 5 īsto posmu būvniecība.
