Mārpagalmi

In one of the quietest corners of Āgenskalns, on Zemaišu Street, between the Mara pond square and St. Albert's Church, protected from the noises of Mārupes Street, a new residential quarter - Mārpagalmi - is being built. The project highlights and preserves the unique urban features of Āgenskalns and the peculiar "small-town feel in the middle of the big city" that gives this part of Riga its charm and attractiveness, and makes it a sought-after location for housing choice.

As the name of the project suggests, the courtyards have played an important role in the design of the quarter.

This architectural unit becomes the central element around which the life of the quarter is colourfully intertwined. Car traffic, parking spaces and other communications are organised around the exterior of the block to preserve the courtyards as green, landscaped and safe areas for children to play, walk and play sports. However, courtyards are not just a place to retreat from the hustle and bustle - they are a social space where you can meet your neighbours, friends and like-minded people, both planned and unexpected.

Courtyards will provide a wide arsenal of opportunities - comfortable and affordable housing for young families, stylish living space for urban professionals, comfort class apartments, as well as commercial space for cafes and shops. The Quarter will make Āgenskalns even more diverse by adding new opportunities. The advantageous location will allow the inhabitant of Mārpagalmi to be a stone's throw from the most important transport points and business centres, living with the feeling of a quiet and safe small town all around, while the ingenious layout will stimulate the desire to network and socialise, while offering a comfort zone for even the biggest introvert.
