KONCEPTAS

The urban planning solution is dictated by the movement flow from Birutes and Bijunu street. The biggest challenge was to optimize the accessibility of the office rooms and maximize the access of natural light to all the office spaces. The volume was pushed southward further away from the apartment building. To maximize the perimeter of the building, the volume is in the shape of “H”. This provides natural lighting for all cabinets and also double-sided, transparent entrance that can accommodate maximum amount of visitor flows.

The main flow of visitors is expected from the 15th Street bus stop, also from Birutes Street and the traffic from the city center. Parking lot is designed in the northern part of the site. This way it is easily hidden from the apartment building block, behind line of trees alongside the edge of the site. The parking lot is designed with permeable pavers, which softens the large-scale site integration into the area and gives the feeling of vitality and tranquility. People with disabilities park in the first lane of parking spaces. In order to adapt to all the traffic from both Birute and Bijunu Streets, the building is shaped in H-shape. There is also an option to integrate an additional connection with the bus stop on Taikos Street. The technical passage is planned from the Birutes street, next to the service entrance.
