Bank of Lithuania reconstructed building complex Žirmūnų str. 151, Vilnius, architectural open project competition
Location Vilnius, Žirmūnų str. 151
Purpose Administrative building
Date: 2019

The urban environment, the importance and function of the new Bank of Lithuania building programmed the monumental cube shape of this building. It should be emphasized that architectural measures were aimed at highlighting a new volume of the Bank of Lithuania, and to merge the existing reconstructed buildings into a coherent background architectural whole of the new building. Thus creating a coherent set of structures. To ensure the necessity of illumination, an indoor atrium is designed over all floors of the building, which, due to the descent of volume in modular facade units, is opened to the best viewing points of the building, thus providing the premises even more lighting and allowing to look from outside at the internal structure of the building, giving the bank an image of openness. The designed building is terraced with modular facade units. The terraces are landscaped, thus extending the green space in front of the building in a vertical direction, integrating the greenery into the building. Terraces are used for the rest of the employees and at the same time give the building an "image of a green building". A clear aesthetic architectural solution is provided for the new building. The idea of cubism is also exploited on the facades of the building, which are dominated by the division of square-shaped glass planes and the architectural details of square forms. The building is designed with eight floors. The new building of the Bank of Lithuania is designed with clear rectangular, square forms, rational volumetric/planned solutions, therefore it should notdiffer from other objects of a similar typology currently under construction
