Boutique office meets hidden gem_
The YARD HOUSE is best described as a boutique building offering retail, office, and residential space. Its cozy, atmospheric, and covered courtyard is a true hidden gem in the old city center of Riga. The architectural marvel was designed by the renowned architect Herbert Tiemer and built between 1912 and 1914. Since then, it has been renovated several times, carefully transforming the building into a modern office center preserving its historical charm.
The YARD HOUSE is located at Valnu Iela 3 on the edge of Riga’s Old Town. The area serves as a central hub for both tourism and local life, with a mix of historical buildings, modern establishments, and cultural landmarks, such as Riga’s old Powder Tower. It benefits from excellent connectivity, as it is located close to major transportation links, including Riga Central Railway Station, bus terminals, and tram stops, making it easily accessible for commuters and visitors. Numerous restaurants, cafés, bars, services and retail facilities in the immediate vicinity of the building complete the excellent infrastructure.
