With respect to the construction scale and nature of Ķīpsala, among ancient linden and oak trees Ola (egg) was created. A three-story building – home for arts, education, and cultural events. Ola is a unique cultural space that combines architecture, technological innovation, and design, where each element has both functional and symbolic meaning. Why Ola (egg)? If you break an egg from outside, it symbolizes the end of an unborn life, but if you break an egg from inside with the help from outside, it is the beginning of something new. This concept is embodied in the shape and essence of Ola
