Cozy, tiny apartment in the newly developed living area in Vilnius, Paupys.
The initial program was to create a simple, but attractive apartment for rent. You may ask: “Why so many slopes?” and we may answer that all started with one huge recuperation pipe that went along the wall through all the apartment. And then all started… To hide one pipe we developed a composition of sloping spaces and doorways that all play the same game in one tiny apartment. Coming closer to the result we saw that this small apartment became more than a place to live, it became a little sculpture, that you almost want to carry it anywhere you go.
