Vynvytis Studio is an unusual space located in the former cultural center of a paper factory in the industrial district of Kaunas, Petrainai. This project is designed for various activities meetings, celebrations, creative workshops, and other events that require a flexible and adaptable environment. The two-story structure allows the spaces to be used together or separately, depending on the nature of the event or the needs. Functionality and flexibility were the key design principles, which are also reflected in the concept of the inner courtyard. The courtyard was created as a natural extension of the interior spaces, integrating the building's history into a radically different, modern use.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The facade design subtly emphasizes the building's layers of time: architectural adjustments from different periods are highlighted by using subtly different shades of color. The sentence is clear and well-structured, but you can make it slightly more concise and impactful. This not only reveals the building's history but also creates a harmonious and visually appealing aesthetic.Save this picture!Save this picture!The architectural concept of the courtyard is based on the principle of contrast: strict, clean forms harmoniously blend with the lushly planted environment. The textures of soft plants soften the strict, clean architectural character, adding warmth, naturalness, and life to the space. The landscaping architect, la Maria Studio, created an exceptional plant composition for the space. The courtyard became the core of this spatial composition.Save this picture!Stylistically, the ground floor space differs subtly from the first floor. The first floor features a large hall with high ceilings, intended for larger events. On the ground floor, there is a bright, somewhat industrial, unfinished architectural style, less formal. Concrete floors and a seemingly disrupted border a wall baseboard. On the first floor, the main feature is a massive wall, which, as an analogy to a canvas, was used by the artist Gintar Konde to create a sculptural bas-relief depicting a party, dance, and action symbolizing the function of the space. The space, with its preserved and restored wooden parquet, aims to create an unobtrusive backdrop for vibrant events.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:Kaunas, LithuaniaLocation to be used only as a reference.
