An old mansion in a quiet part of Jurmala, surrounded by pine trees and rhododendrons, charmed the new owners at first sight. However, the whole way from buying real estate to entering took about six years — the status of an architectural monument required long approvals and discussions.

On the wall is a sculpture of the Latvian artist Olga Shilova “Amazons”. In the background is the classic Jurmala veranda, where the dining room for 12 seats is now located. Cherry arches were made by local craftsmen.

“Despite the fact that the general concept was formed right away — we got involved about in the middle of this process — a lot has changed in three years. We can say that this is an interior with good exposure,” laughs designer Agnes Rudzite, who was invited to design the interiors of the mansion.

Two-storey house with an area of about 250 sq. m. meters with a rotunda and columns required a radical renovation. The project involved a complete rethinking of the interior and the creation of a modern extension, which would house a spa area, dressing rooms, laundry rooms and boiler rooms.

As a result, the living space has become almost twice as large and, among other things, now includes four bedrooms, a large dining room on the former veranda, a living room and a library. The third floor, organized in the attic, can be reached by an elevator with brass doors directly from the hall.

The central element of the master bedroom was the Heaven, Zeitraum bed. On Gong bedside tables from Meridiani — Flowerpot, &Tradition lamps. In the corner in the background is a vintage floor lamp.

The house itself, its history and architecture dictated the mood of the interior. For example, the chairs and breakfast table in the kitchen — a “legacy” from the former owners — were carefully restored, as was the buffet in the dining room. The designer’s favorite rounded shapes combined with strict lines stylistically unite all spaces.

“There is a lot of color here, which is not typical for the Baltic States at all,” Agnes notes. — Everyone who enters the house pays attention to this. Customers were tired of modern bright interiors, they wanted bright colors, a mixture of styles. I was inspired by my beloved Italy, its mansions, Venetian palaces and nature, hence the characteristic colors — shades of green and terracotta.”

The interior is an homage to the Italian villas of the 1930s and 1940s, and first of all the famous Villa Necchi-Campiglio. Terrazzo floors and vintage chandeliers, which the designer and the hostess of the house bought at the flea market in Milan, remind of her. Green marble for portals and pink for window sills, doors and furniture made of lacquered cherry and oak — in an eclectic space, these materials do not argue with each other, but create an interior rich in color and details, in which the past and present are harmoniously combined.
