ARCHITECTURE
LEGEND. is a symphony of five buildings created by architect Uģis Zābers. Five bright individuals in a single block are united by harmony inherent to the high art, topical at all times.
The main villa of the apartment block carries the name of Winston Churchill and is located closest to the sea. It is an architectural dedication to the politician, writer, philanthropist, and Nobel Prize winner. Villa Churchill is a modern interpretation of the British style.
Villa Hepburn is a tribute to the naturalness and charm of the inimitable Audrey Hepburn; a tribute to the admiration of the woman as an actress and a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. The openwork decoration of the building refers to the refined style of Audrey, and the classic "lace" of the historical architecture of Jurmala. The geometry of the facades and accuracy of shapes and lines are suggested by Piet Mondrian’s abstract painting.
The passionate and controversial actress and singer Marlene Dietrich knew how to appreciate luxury and comfort like no one else; attaching a great importance to detail. The sublime Villa Dietrich is laconic and mysterious. The fused tinted glass of the building facades acquires texture; it plays and sparkles in the sun just as the luxurious outfits of Marlene Dietrich.
The private residence, named Villa Hemingway, has an almost incredible story. From its “birth” this monument of national importance was like two drops of water with the famous Cuban home of the greatest American writer of the 20th century - Ernest Hemingway. This visual similarity was strengthened further, and the design of interiors was decorated in a nautical theme, much loved by the writer.
The name Tiffany, after the iconic film "Breakfast at Tiffany's", has become a household name. Villa Tiffany is a restored architectural monument and a uniting image of the project that embodies the beauty and joy of life.
By creating the complex LEGEND., architect Uģis Zābers has paid a tribute to the traditions of classical English architecture, original Jurmala style and modern conceptualism, signing it all with his individual and recognizable signature.
