Privatus gyvenamasis 2021 Nr. 173

English

Villa for a young family surrounded by centuries-old oaks, the pond and meadows - built far away from the city, for a hermit person looking for a quiet flow of life. Two volumes dedicated for the living and recreation areas facing the water are connected by a transparent glass gallery that does not interfere with the gaze of the person that enters the building. Burnt wood, natural stone, clay bricks, painted steel and their earthy tones are the main connection between the building's exterior and interior style. Intended to touch, to smell, to look at. Glass walls in the interior combine outdoor and indoor spaces, open the multi-landscape view and allow the penetration of natural light, which is reflected on the surfaces of black, gold, silver details. The silence and cleanliness of gallery-white create a space to sound grostesque and phantasmagoric pieces of contemporary Lithuanian artists. Oak stumps tell the legend of an old not saved oak to a man that enters the main spaces. Human presence here is of the utmost importance!
