The new blocks are conceived as a missing link: the taller volumes on A. Mickevičiaus street and the lower ones on Vytauto street merge with the surroundings and dissolve in them.

This project attempts to preserve the historically chaotic character of the street layout: the four-storey firewall of the residential building at 7 A. Mickevičiaus street unexpectedly breaks the strict perimeter, and the historic brick villas on Vytauto street resemble homesteads. The new blocks of flats are conceived as a missing link: the taller volumes on A. Mickevičiaus street and the lower ones on Vytauto street merge with the surroundings and dissolve in them. But their regular positioning, the correct proportions and the rhythms of the windows, which divide the brick facades strictly, and which are typical of the Žvėrynas area, along with other architectural details, make the complex absolutely contemporary.
