REM PRO was honored with the Grand Prix and received two nominations in the “Latvijas Būvniecības Gada balva 2022” architecture award
On March 7, 2023, an annual award recognized the best architecture and construction projects in Latvia from the past year in ten categories. It's thrilling to share that three of REM PRO's projects received awards out of the six that registered for the competition. Here is our list of pride:
The grand prize was awarded to REM PRO project “Engineering Arsenal of the Daugavpils Fortress“
The REM PRO team developed the reconstruction project, while the LAGRON company implemented all construction works. By the beginning of the project in 2016, the building was in critical condition, abandoned and semi-destroyed. We restored the building's facades, decor, and roof to their original versions with great care. The exhibition halls received raised floors, and engineering networks were installed without interfering with the original brickwork. The courtyard was a treasure trove of history, with ancient cobblestones that had once marked the path of carriages. After being photographed by a drone, they were restored to their original appearance. Finally, the team created a comfortable inclusive environment for all visitors, both inside and outside the building.
“Powder Magazine and 7th Bastion of the Daugavpils Fortress“ received second place in the “Restoration“ category
Both structures of the Daugavpils Fortress have been restored to their historical appearance. The Gunpowder Warehouse has been transformed into a permanent exhibition space for local ceramist Peteris Martinsons, as well as for temporary exhibitions. Also, the 7th Bastion structures have been reinforced for safe visitor walks and to ensure the durability of this iconic landmark of the city.
“Promenade of the Daugavpils Fortress“ took third place in the “Territory Improvement“ category
The well-equipped embankment stretches for almost a kilometer, from the railroad bridge to the former football stadium. This pedestrian relaxation area is a comfortable and picturesque addition to the existing infrastructure along the Daugava River, and is an integral part of the tourist complex of the Daugavpils Fortress.
Recognition by the professional community confirms that REM PRO architecture company is constantly developing its competencies and talent. Our team creates not only top-notch projects with remarkable architecture, but also landmarks for the entire country.
REM PRO is going to compete for Dezeen Awards 2022
REM PRO is going to apply its project "Restoration of the Daugavpils Engineering Arsenal" as an entry for Dezeen Awards 2022. The project will be applied in multiple categories at once: "Cultural Building" and "Revival Project".
Our team has brought an architectural heritage structure, dating back to the first half of the 19th century, back to life. Masterful reconstruction and restoration of the building emphasise its authenticity, creating a unique atmosphere where history is intertwined with cutting-edge design and environment accessibility. Today, the Engineering Arsenal is adapted to house the expositions of the Technical and Industrial Heritage Centre.
Dezeen Awards is an annual prize awarded for the world's best architecture, interiors and design, as well as to studios and individual architects and designers creating the most outstanding projects.
