Anno 1903: tenement house on Alberta Street in central Riga, Latvia. October 8, 2018
The building was designed in 1903 by the owner himself, architect Konstantīns Pēkšēns, with the involvement of Eižens Laube (at that time a student of architecture). The building is situated on a corner plot and its volume and silhouette are solved using pictorial effects - turrets and asymmetrically shaped gables, which often appeared in the architecture of buildings designed by K. Pēkšēns at the beginning of the 20th century.
