Location
Colonel’s House, located at Pulkveža Brieža iela 15, blends historical elegance with modern comfort in one of Riga’s most prestigious districts. The project is situated in Klusais Centrs, surrounded by embassies, cultural landmarks, and exquisite restaurants.
This district of Riga stands out for its proximity to all major city hubs, including theaters, shopping centers, and municipal institutions. At the same time, it is rightfully called “quiet” due to its distance from the bustling part of the city center. The accessibility and variety of public transportation options make it easy to reach any destination, whether on foot, by public transport, or by car.
Architectural heritage
Complex of two buildings, originally designed by renowned engineer Aksels Kārlis Durbahs and completed in 1939 in the neoclassical style, the building has now been carefully reconstructed to preserve its historical value while integrating contemporary design solutions.
The main façade has retained its original classical elements, a rarity among central Riga buildings. The addition of a seventh floor in the late 20th century further enhanced its architectural significance.
The project consists of two buildings, one with six floors and the other with seven, forming a harmonious residential complex with a private courtyard. This exclusive green oasis provides a tranquil retreat in the city center, offering both comfort and privacy.
Interior Design
The interiors of Colonel’s House are designed with meticulous attention to detail, emphasizing the historical character of the building. The staircases are finished in warm and sophisticated tones, with deep burgundy and terracotta shades adding depth and expression. The elevator design seamlessly integrates into the overall aesthetic, featuring noble wooden panels, a plush crimson-red carpet, and elegant lighting that exudes luxury. The use of travertine and wood in the finishes further enhances the seamless blend of classical and contemporary elements.
Layouts and Amenities
Colonel’s House offers a variety of apartment layouts, ranging from compact one-bedroom residences to spacious penthouses with panoramic city views. Each apartment is delivered in a customizable format, without internal partitions, allowing owners to fully tailor the space to their preferences and lifestyle. This flexibility expands design possibilities and makes every apartment truly unique.
Every unit is designed to maximize natural light and create a sense of openness. High-quality finishes, smart home technologies, and efficient space utilization ensure the perfect balance between luxury and functionality.
In addition to modern KONE elevators installed in every entrance of the complex, full-scale replacement of all utility and heating systems is planned. Individual heat meters will allow residents to control and adjust the temperature in their apartments.
The complex will feature a total of 87 apartments, with both street-facing windows and views of the inner green courtyard. In addition, the ground floor will house commercial spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows, while the upper floors will offer modern office spaces.
The project’s standout feature is its exceptionally green and well-landscaped courtyard, a rarity among city center buildings. The enclosed garden provides a private and serene space exclusively for residents, ensuring a unique living environment in the heart of Riga.
The residential complex is divided into five distinct zones: Pulkveža Brieža iela frontage, a front garden, the “Moon Garden,” the “Magnolia Garden,” and a designated parking area. The courtyard includes 27 open and covered parking spaces, some of which are equipped with electric vehicle charging stations.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
Colonel’s House incorporates modern energy-efficient solutions to minimize environmental impact and optimize operational costs. Triple-glazed wooden windows, advanced insulation systems, and intelligent climate control reduce energy consumption while enhancing comfort. The project meets A-class energy efficiency standards, ensuring sustainability and long-term value.
Infrastructure
The district offers a wealth of amenities, including parks, fine dining establishments, and boutique shops. Excellent transport connections allow quick access to key business and cultural destinations in Riga. Residents can enjoy the tranquility of this prestigious neighborhood while remaining close to the vibrant city center.
For added convenience, the project features parking options, including designated spaces for electric vehicle charging. Bicycle storage facilities are also available, catering to residents who prefer an active and eco-friendly lifestyle.
Thanks to the thoughtfully designed inner gardens, this project offers more than just a prime location in a prestigious neighborhood—it creates a true urban oasis in the heart of the city.
Investment Potential
Demand for high-quality residential real estate in central Riga continues to grow, making Colonel’s House an attractive investment opportunity. Its prime location, exceptional design, and sustainable solutions ensure high liquidity and reliability for investors.
The project also includes commercial spaces on the ground floor of the façade building, with large display windows ideal for businesses. Additionally, modern office spaces will be available on the seventh floor, providing a prime setting for professional success.
