Z-Towers – The Twin Symbols of Modern Riga
History and Facts
Completed in 2019 on the left bank of the Daugava River, the Z-Towers rise to 123 meters, making them among the tallest residential and office skyscrapers in Latvia. The original concept was designed by F.L. Tadao Ando & Associates and later adapted by local architects.

Interesting Fact
The towers house luxury apartments, offices, a conference center, and restaurants. Their cylindrical form adds a distinctive modern accent to Riga’s skyline.

Author’s Note
I chose Z-Towers because they represent the future direction of Riga – bold, ambitious, and international. Infrared photography transforms their glass façades into monumental columns of light.
