Māsa is a restaurant in Riga with natural wine and local products from Latvian farmers. The clients are a couple of restaurateurs specializing in gluten-free baking. They wanted the interior to be modern while conveying a sense of locality, warmth, and authenticity. For their business, they chose a quiet part of the historic center of Riga, away from the main tourist routes.

Māsa is housed in a historic building. The space is bright and airy, with large windows. During the dismantling, we uncovered layers of paint on the walls, each telling a story of the building’s transformations – we liked this effect and decided to preserve the walls as they were. During the work on Māsa, the building’s facade was restored and painted in a shade of paint coordinated with the city authorities of Riga.
