Astra Lux, High-rise building in Purvciems, Riga, Latvia

Astra Lux consists of two connected blocks, with the lower section reaching 22 floors and the upper section extending to 24 floors.

The construction of this residential tower, completed in 2007, earned first place among 14 new buildings in Riga's architectural competition of 2008.

The building represents the evolution of residential architecture in Latvia during the first decade of the 2000s, introducing French-style balconies.

Located at 8k-1 Gunāra Astras Street, the 80.8-meter tall structure contains 158 apartments with direct access to urban services.

The building features a distinctive south-facing tapered design, created by architect Juris Poga to optimize natural light exposure.
