A modern take on the vernacular coastal Kurzeme homestead with its characteristic gabled roof. The conversion aimed to restore the original value, which had been lost through earlier transformation attempts. The new image is characterised by northern minimalism and a bold choice of cladding materials – galvanised steel and Siberian larch, which is inspired by the coastal landscape. Ziemeļi exemplifies how past mistakes can be corrected to enhance the wellbeing of locals and visitors, as well as an area’s attractiveness.
