Anno 1935: apartment house on Krāsotāju Street in Griziņkalns area of Riga, Latvia. October 16, 2021
No 14 Krāsotāju Street is a perfect example of the constructive style. The house was built according to a design by the engineer-architect Arturs Braunfelds, which was approved on 16 October 1934. It was commissioned by the owners of the "Kalna Veģeri" of the Veselauska parish, Jānis and Berta Zilveri. The building was completed on 3 August 1935. The architect A. Braunfelds was one of the founders of the pure Constructivism/Functionalism style in Riga. This is a four-storey building with small two-room apartments and a bathroom. The building has a two-level pediment, which is flanked and emphasised by eaves, forming horizontal lines on the façade, together with eaves between the floors and recesses in the plasterwork at window level. The sunken buttress in the centre of the house, with a vertical three-storey window to light the staircase, divides the building into equal parts.
