Apartment on Manufaktūrų street near the Vilnelė

A couple of brave, young souls moved to Vilnius in order to be closer to their children and grandchildren.

Together with them, possessions that are dear to the heart and preserve good memories came to the modern district from other former homes, their youth.  This diversity of styles proved to be difficult to harmonize as the possesions definitely had to appear in the new 100-square-meter, three-room apartment. We decided to make the background as neutral and sterile as possible so that the said possesions and furniture fit together and revealed themselves.

In the big room, wherever possible, we tried to preserve the concrete ceiling and walls. Whereas in the bedrooms, for coziness and character, we decided to paint and smoothen them out.  The rooms are connected by corridors carved with natural shell panels. For them, we chose a shade of brown, typical of mid-20th century furniture.

The interior incorporates timeless furniture created by designers in the 70s and 80s, which became the accent of the interior, with the old possessions beautifully complementing each other  and adding individual taste. Nonetheless, the most important thing in this apartment is the window to the luxurious terrace, where the whole family gathers. You can sit on the massive wooden bench and watch how the trees sway and the river carries away the time.
