Our proposal was developed for a residential building in one of Vilnius’ most unique locations – on Subačiaus Street, atop the historic hill overlooking the Old Town.
The design aimed to integrate harmoniously with the sensitive urban and natural context of the site. Volumes were arranged to adapt to the existing terrain and surrounding greenery, while ensuring that key visual corridors towards the Missionary ensemble and the Old Town skyline were preserved. The architectural language combined a contemporary expression with references to the traditional urban fabric, balancing modern living standards with historical continuity.
