Bišumuiža

The new 4-storey houses are located in Riga, at Komētas Street, between Ziepniekkalna, Šautuves, Bauskas and Komētas Streets. The territory is relatively plain, with a slight terrain sloping towards the south. The vicinity consists mainly of an expressive dune terrain with pine and birch stands.

 

The building area will consist of 17 dwelling houses as well as recreation areas and children playgrounds. The houses will be separated from Komētas Street both using decorative bush plantations and an ash-tree row. Also the houses will be separated from each other using decorative plantations and small architectonic forms – creeper grids and pergolas. A pathway network will ensure convenient access both to recreation areas and to a walkway along a specially constructed water course. It is planned to build wooden pathways in the water course protection zone, which will be slightly raised above the ground. The slope will be secured by using geotextile and making a lawn on the slope and planting cover plants in certain places. The green areas are planned taking into account the specific features of the territory and using plants suitable to Latvian climatic conditions. It is planned also to use big-size plants. Detailed plans of decorative plantation and recreation area zones have been developed. It is planned to lay out plantation belts with creeper grids and areas with groups of trees in the car parking territory, which will increase the percentage of the green areas. The recreation area for children will be separated using both creeper grids and wooden and metallic netting fences with hedges. Lawn and gravel will be used as covering of horizontal surfaces; an artificial covering will be used in the sports area. The plantations will be made so that the territory will be protected against draught; in the same time the territory will comply with the sunlight requirements.
