Neoklasika’s was commissioned to develop interior design concept for a future boutique aparthotel in Riga Old Town. The house was built in 1930's. The atmosphere in the nearby ring of boulevards is still reminiscent of Riga’s legendary Bohemian scene of the 1920s – 30s. The meeting places favoured by artists and musicians included the cafe Sukubs, restaurants Oto Švarcs, Roma and Esplanāde. In the 1920s and 1930s, cinemas including Forums, Maska (two thrillers in one evening) became popular entertainment venues, along with the nearby Splendid Palace and Astorija.
The identity of the new hotel was created respecting the historical building’s architecture and drawing inspiration from the cultural personalities born in Latvia. The every detail of the interior has been carefully thought out to generated emotional pleasure and moments of surprise, as well as retaining a reference to the heritage of history. The atmosphere in the first floor lobby and breakfast room / lounge bar interior remind artistic canvas. it is a perfect place to get inspired and enjoy creative conversations in a joyful atmosphere. Each apartment is dedicated to an artist: Gustavs Klucis, Jāzeps Grosvalds, Aleksandra Beļcova, Kārlis Padegs and others. The furniture, llighting and accessories were chosen with reference to the design styles of the first half of the 20th century. The apartments are decorated with individuality by reproductions of works of art, historical photos and murals.
