Text description provided by the architects. Malta, a town in Latvia, could be hardly compared to its southern namesake in terms of climate, however, its landscape is equally beautiful. Architects Maris Krumins and Rasa Kleina from SAALS did for the convert of a soviet-ties school building and multifunctional hall newbuilding. School buildings had been recently renovated, according to EU structural fund rules it is forbidden to carry out any transformations for a period of five years. Consequently, the newbuild stands out as the most successful object in visual terms. The newly-built multifunctional hall is situated in the center of the complex and joins all blocks, providing access to the hall either through indoors which is especialy important for children heading towards the dining room and sports hall in the cold season, or separately, through hall's main entrance.
