This volume gives a deep and many-faceted insight into the urban planning, architectural, historic and humane contexts of how architect Zaiga Gaile’s vision of an impressive doctor’s villa was implemented. This is a story about the choices and decisions made, about the respectful deference to the spiritual and material footprint of the previous generations. In this book the professional text is once and again interwoven with humane stories about the previous owners of the site – the Lūkins, as well as brilliant cameo glimpses into the lives and fates of the neighbourhood.
