The architectural ensemble of four elegant buildings will comprise a total of 105 new homes and four commercial units. Merko Mājas will reconstruct two architecturally significant heritage buildings, named Valensis and Selonija, designed by renowned Latvian architect Konstantīns Pēkšēns, who authored more than 250 notable buildings in Riga at the turn of the 20th century. The two new buildings in the quarter will be named Fera and Amia.

The buildings of the Pētersala project meet A energy efficiency standards. All apartments will feature underfloor heating and a heat recovery ventilation system, while apartments on the upper floors will also be equipped with air conditioning. Parking spaces and private storage units are located in an underground garage beneath three of the buildings. Apartment sizes range from 30 to 150 square metres. The quarter offers 1- to 5-room apartments with a variety of layouts, featuring both balconies and private terraces overlooking the inner courtyard. The top floors of the two new buildings will include exclusive two-level lofts, while the upper floor of the historic Selonija building will feature mansard apartments with ceiling heights of up to 4.7 metres and roof windows in every room.

Merko will create a landscaped inner courtyard around the buildings, featuring green areas, children’s playgrounds, and leisure spaces. The shared courtyard will connect the Pētersala residential environment with Merko’s earlier Viesturdārzs project, giving residents of the new quarter direct access to one of Riga’s most beloved green spaces, Viesturdārzs Park.
