CENTER “SALA” IN ALOJA
The Municipality of Aloja was one of the first in Latvia to construct a low-energy public building using wood as the primary construction material.
The Aloja Business Center and Library “Sala” has received several awards:

The building consists of three main functional blocks – library spaces, a large seminar hall, and several offices with meeting rooms – all located on a single floor.
The project features RAICO facade systems and glazed roof solutions, as well as smartwin windows and smartwin entrance doors. The largest window on the facade spans 15 meters in width.
