Open Architecture Design on Instagram: "The big reveal: Skolas Street 17 façade
The first glimpse of SK17’s sculptural façade has us genuinely excited. Rooted in the principles of tectonism, its dynamic forms reflect the actual structure of the building with no decorative elements.
What you see on the exterior is a composition of prefabricated concrete panels. The same panels extend into the interior, creating a sense of union and continuity.
SK17 responds to the rhythm, proportions, and cornice heights of its neighbouring buildings, while introducing a distinctive architectural landmark to the neighbourhood.

We are thrilled to see SK17 reach another defining milestone: the façade installation has officially begun. Crafted from Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete, the façade offers exceptional durability while retaining the raw, characteristic texture of traditional concrete. As a lightweight and more elastic alternative, this material allows the architecture to embrace complex geometries that would be impossible with standard concrete.

In the historic city center of Riga a newcomer in the residential sector is forming - the striking apartment building SK17. Situated on the one-way stretch of Skolas Street, the building both offers the vibrancy of downtown living and the intimacy of its quiet corner. The freshly installed windows reveal a first glimpse of life on the seventh floor - a sense of living on the edge, with the city’s entire horizon unfolding at your feet.
