The Gypsum Factory is located in the elite and charming Ķīpsala, an island on the left bank of the Daugava River, separated from the rest of Pārdaugava by the Zunda Canal. Ķīpsala is one of the most expensive residential neighborhoods in Riga outside the city center. The waterfront is characterized by an expressive silhouette of renovated properties.

The Gypsum Factory is one of Riga’s most renowned and beautiful residential projects. Designed as a high-end design object, particular attention was given to the choice of materials and the details of both the interior and exterior. The complex comprises four buildings grouped around two inner courtyards designed as green gardens. The ensemble’s color palette includes yellow, red, and black.

The factory features bricks specially made for the project in Belgium, which are also incorporated into the apartment interiors. In total, there are 63 loft-style apartments, including four so-called Black Houses – villas.

The Gypsum Factory is a monument of industrial heritage, originally built in the second half of the 19th century and renovated in 2009 to preserve its brick architecture with exquisite, refined details.
