This 660 sqm residence is set in the Baltic seaside resort - Jūrmala, the location unfolds between dense pine woods and the open coast, shaped by slow-moving sea air, sandy ground, and a landscape that feels quietly layered.
Originally built by the renowned Latvian architect Modris Ģelzis (1929–2009), the house stands as a testament to his mastery of modernist architecture. The structure of the house is defined by wooden windows, pine columns, and wooden ceilings. The building appears to rest on its own axis, as if supported by a single large column—the ground level acting as a zero floor.
The house follows a semi-circular plan, allowing the ceiling to mirror its geometry. Carefully positioned windows act as portals to the surrounding landscape, framing only the views intended by the original architect while quietly concealing everything beyond.
