Žygimantų 12 creates a sensory aesthetic that combines the historical layers of a UNESCO World Heritage Site with modern technology, architectural vision and functionality. Sustainable solutions are often imperceptible, but always felt. Located in a unique archaeological context, the building extends the existing waving cornices and ridges of Žygimantų Street and becomes a blend of modern design and historical values. The surrounding ornate décor, the symmetrical composition of the façade, and the harmonious window and door openings have been used as our inspiration.

In the words of the AKG architectural team: “We have used the proportions of the door and window openings of the adjacent buildings, condensing them into a collection of details, to craft a contemporary blend that connects the existing historic buildings along the evolving Žygimantų Street and retains the timeless essence of their architectural charm. In terms of colour and texture, the building is divided into two parts, thus blending harmoniously into the existing context. The variety of plants in the courtyard and the green walls create cosy and autonomous spaces for the occupants.”
