What people say
Pedro Pereira
Available for hire
"Spīķeri is a historic warehouse district located in the heart of Rīga, Latvia, along the left bank of the Daugava River. Originally built in the 19th century, the Spīķeri complex served as a vital hub for maritime trade and commerce, housing warehouses and storage facilities for goods transported along the river.
The architecture of Spīķeri reflects its industrial heritage, with red-brick buildings and warehouses featuring distinctive architectural details characteristic of the period. The area played a crucial role in Rīga's economy, facilitating the storage and transportation of goods such as timber, grain, and other commodities.
In recent years, Spīķeri has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving from a neglected industrial site into a vibrant cultural and creative quarter. Through revitalization efforts and adaptive reuse projects, the historic warehouses have been repurposed to accommodate a variety of cultural institutions, creative businesses, art galleries, cafes, restaurants, and event spaces."
