During the designing process of the ELVI trade quarter in Mārupe, adjustment of the outline and interior design of the structure to modern trends was performed – a new concept was developed bringing together all that a family needs in several shops under the same roof: ELVI, AlkOutlet, Pepco, Eiroaptieka. Architectonically, the new image emphasises the external load-bearing wooden structures and the main entrances to both buildings.
With regard to solutions for sustainable development, solar panels on the roof will be especially considered in the new quarter, and a heat regeneration system will be installed allowing use of the heat generated by trade equipment for management of the premises.
