The multi-apartment residential building was designed in the Žaliakalnis district of of Kaunas city. The environment here is very controversial – ranging from culturally valuable Art Deco and modernist buildings to haphazardly rebuilt and reconstructed houses. This environment fascinates with its contrasts, abundance of greenery, non-intensive low-rise buildings. In such an environment, the building must speak the language of today's architecture.
The designed multi-apartment residential building is integrated harmoniously and sensitively into the urban fabric - the building plan reflects the turning line of the street and adapts to the contours of the plot boundaries. The multi-apartment residential building has 3 floors with an outbuilding, seven cozy apartments are designed in the building, which receive good natural lighting and from which colorful views of the surroundings open up.
The architectural concept of the building, like the various architectural and urban environments, consists of several interrelated layers: irregularly arranged windows and balconies on the facades remind of a diverse and multi-colored environment. Curved, plastic and smooth lines interpret the character of the best historical interwar architecture of Kaunas. The clarity and purity of the building’s volume is a sign of the architecture of this era. The green roof installed above the third floor expands the courtyard and interprets the green cozy courtyards characteristic of the surrounding plots, respecting sustainability. The green roof offers a panorama of the Žaliakalnis district and a view of the Kaunas interwar modernism symbol, the Church of the Resurrection of Christ.
Building structures - monolithic reinforced concrete, metal, block masonry. Clinker bricks were chosen for the facade cladding – light-colored for the main volume of the building, dark-colored for the upper floor.
Due to the irregular shape of the plan and the plastic lines of the volume, different views and perspectives of the building are opened from different vantage points, the building appears to be changing and alive, as diverse as the context, with several faces.
