The Daugavpils “Saules skola” complex is situated in an urban environment that is emotionally saturated, nuanced, and multi-layered. In order to prevent the new building’s substantial volumes from overpowering the existing elements and sensitivities, the form, volumetric layout, and details of the building have been delicately designed with utmost reverence and respect for the surrounding context. The new building reflects and interprets the most characteristic features of the surrounding context, thereby integrating seamlessly into it.
Simultaneously, the image of the new building, which defines the identity of the entire complex, is fresh and contemporary. It embodies a sense of lightness and playfulness, aligning with its primary functional purpose of providing a high-quality environment for the artistic and intellectual growth of children and adolescents. Upon entering the building, visitors are welcomed into a vibrant and illuminated space, distinctly separated from the outside world – a world in which creative thoughts and works thrive.
