The pine

The Pine, the premier all-wood office building in the Baltics. Our goal with this development was to establish it as one of the most exceptional office properties in the region, not only in terms of tenant satisfaction but also in its commitment to sustainability. The Pine represents a bold and innovative step forward in office construction. The Pine will become a truly unparalleled office experience that prioritizes both function and environmental responsibility.

Our vision

Our vision for the new building is to improve the city block by connecting the new and old structures through an inner courtyard that provides greenery and enhances the quality of both the existing buildings and the pine project.

A key aspect of the design is to establish a lively plaza by incorporating various functions along the building's façade, in order to increase the sense of space. The plaza aspires to become a dynamic and popular public space by incorporating public functions from neighboring buildings.

Sustainability approach

The pine building is designed to be energy and water efficient, resulting in reduced waste and promoting human health.

To reduce carbon emissions, we're implementing several strategies such as generating renewable energy on-site and sourcing off-site renewable energy. Additionally, the building's construction incorporates the use of timber, enabling it to achieve net zero carbon emissions. Our goal is to become entirely reliant on renewable energy and obtain both WELL Gold and LEED Platinum certifications.

Vision of the landscape

The east side of the plot is dedicated to a forest zone, featuring a small hill covered in pine trees and natural stone. As one approaches the entrance of the building, the greenery becomes less dense and a view of the atrium is revealed.

On the inner road's slope, the landscape highlights a historic "river bank" with wave-like patterns in the pavement, creating a safe and peaceful space for pedestrians by diverting main vehicular traffic.
