The observation tower proposed for Kemeri National Park is designed to blend with its natural environment. Located in a landscape shaped by an ancient sea, the tower offers a space for exploration and appreciation of the park's diverse ecology. Its design draws inspiration from the concept of coexistence with nature, resulting in a structure that resembles a towering tree, firmly placed in the ground.

Design and Accessibility

The architectural form promotes a sense of flow and connection. A spiral pathway allows visitors to ascend the tower easily. This feature enhances accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. By making the views accessible to everyone, the design encourages all visitors to engage with the natural surroundings.

Cultural Influence

The structure pays homage to Latvian avant-garde art, particularly the works of Gustav Klutsis and Vladimir Tatlin. The use of geometric shapes in the design reflects the vibrant energy of early 20th-century art movements. This connection adds depth to the structure, transforming it from a mere observation point into a cultural reference that highlights social issues.

Materiality and Sustainability

The primary material proposed for the tower is Baltic timber. This choice reinforces the connection to the local environment and promotes sustainability through the use of regional resources. By choosing materials that are sourced nearby, the design also reflects a responsible approach to working with nature.

The observation tower culminates in a spiral shape that echoes the surrounding landscape. It invites visitors to reflect on the beauty of Kemeri National Park while providing unique viewpoints of the area’s natural features.
