Looks pretty good. I like it

Hope it gets built

Waiting for more info

Triceratops · February 11th, 2008, 07:30 PM

So that's how it should look like

Not bad at all! Very interesting!

Mikrobs · February 11th, 2008, 08:49 PM

Nothing extraordinary.

Gatis · February 11th, 2008, 09:15 PM

Doesn't look too interesting to me too. Hope - better renderings will show something better.

Vecais Sakarnis · February 11th, 2008, 09:32 PM

Hmmm... There is hard to properly see the building in that smal renderr, but for now it doesnt look good. If some says that Saules Akmens is unproportioned (too short for its size), then this far more unproportioned - if 2 times higher, it would look much better.

Aha. From other side, thanks.

Vecais Sakarnis · February 12th, 2008, 11:59 AM

In this render it looks way better, but still there is strong need to be higher to look good.

Nõgesh · February 12th, 2008, 06:07 PM

Would be better without the lower part.

The "Spice" has a little resemblence with Tallinn's City Residence building, especially the shape:

ch1le · February 13th, 2008, 11:02 AM

but ofcourse ours actually contributes to cityspace. The spice highrise is an extension of urban blight - a mall, thus pretty pointless.

the design is okay

It's not pointless it could be some kind of "Riga gate" when arriving from airport.

If the area will have more highrises and general development - yes.

***Þróndeimr*** · February 26th, 2008, 10:00 PM

Interesting, this one looks great!

Moolio · February 27th, 2008, 12:21 PM

looks very Daniel Liebeskind-esque.

Looks a bit weird at best...
