Description of the current situation The land plot is located on the left bank of Daugava river besides one of the main streets of the city. The land plot relief is plain. Site plan solution Two-storey building volume forming a sharp angle in the plan occupies North-Northeast part of the land plot. The visitor parking lots are located on the ground level on South-Southwest sides of the building. Multi-storey parking lot is located on Southwest part. Delivery and household year is formed on the Northern side of the building. The main entrances to the building are formed at three most significant points of the building – corner part of the building that faces towards the main street; corner part of the building that faces the main access road to the territory; the building area which is close to multi-storey parking lot. Commonly active elements with decorative-informative purpose are places in the areas next to main entrances – flag poles, information signs, advertising stands, benches, bicycle parking stands, as well as taxi parking lots and special parking lots for vehicles of disabled people. All territory is greened and landscaped. Architecture:Spatial solution The spatial solution foresees creation of a two-storey building volume with horizontal roof and facade in a single dynamically bent ribbon-like form. The active facade image expresses the dynamic nature of the spot (direct proximity to Island bridge and transport sections) and it is basically perceived from distant and dynamic points of perception. The dynamics of the building façade are reinforced by use of multi-coloured metal clusters. The roof form has a special meaning being easily perceived from distant viewing points. The multi-storey parking takes a form of a 3-storey building body with reinforced concrete facade. Functional solution The commercial and entertainment complex is formed as a single building volume on two stories with internal two-level shopping street along the longitudinal direction. Commercial, recreational and entertainment objects of different nature and area are adjacent to the main axis – “the central street”. Direct connection to the multi-storey parking lot is made at level +6.000. The largest functional object – hypermarket – is located at the North end of the building. Multiplex cinema is located above the hypermarket. On the second floor of the Eastern part of the building there is an entertainment complex. The first and the second floors are interconnected by elevators, escalators and stairs. Facade solutions Basically the facade is made as a single architectural form based on the idea of a national waist-belt. On the whole the facade forms a common ribbon-like composition around the building volume, which is seemingly elevated at the places of main entrances thus forming the three main entrance sections. The facade finishing is made out of dense and perforated multi-colour cassette-type panels aligned into bands, increasing the building dynamics on the whole. During the dark time of the day these dynamics are reinforced by the luminaries placed behind the perforated panels. The entrance door areas within the façade are formed as glazed facade systems with sliding and revolving entrance doors. Main interior principles The interior is based on 4 main elements: - The floor of the public area is made like a natural or artificial stone plate layer with special pattern. - The ceilings of the public area form a special atmosphere of the room together with the natural overhead light. - The location of glazed commercial facades of the stores and advertising sign areas. - The location of the stair and opening aisles within the steel and glass structures.
