With Krasta City we were asked to create a new business district, that will take advantage of its maritime location and proximity to the historical old town of Riga and the potential to bring it along.

A change of conventions

With a changing world, we believe we needed to create a strong idea that would enable Krasta City to become a real destination for the city and the residents of Riga. That’s why we have created a relaxing and recreational natural environment at eye level that takes full advantage of the site’s location and potential.

A place where you want to go and stay even if you do not work here. Along the water's edge, a new boardwalk is shaped to emphasize together with the landscaping and the pavilions, a relaxing and unique urban environment. A place that has a strong identity and is its own place. This is what we call the future of work.  

Leisure & Work

The traditional usage of an office environment has changed for good, a change that has been accelerated in the last year. Therefore, offices are rather than offering a space for pure work, a place to gather, share and create relationships. It is more a gathering hall than a desk-to-desk situation.

Therefore, we have designed an extraordinary experience, that merges an intriguing design with a surrounding natural environment, that will support human comfort and pleasure. 
 

Urban Strategy

The main focus of our Urban approach is to create a sense of space and to concentrate activities around the two main urban spaces. The first space is towards the waterfront. The second space is a more urban environment. These two urban spaces are surrounded by 4 sides of activity, creating the basis for a vibrant environment.

Our natural approach at the ground is repeated at the penthouse levels of the project to create a green and biodiverse environment with a great signal value seen from afar. The trend of having significant planting on the roof is now a proven technology and accelerating in developments all over Europe.

While ARROW’s roots are set in Scandinavia, our outlook is global, sharing Scandinavian values with the rest of the world. We’re explorers, curious to discover what can be brought back home following the completion of global projects.
