Article source: Devyni architektai The „Yellow leg“ apartment building is located in Šnipiškės neighborhood, on the side of Vilnius city center. The building is on a 1697m2 lot, with its footprint occupying 707m2. The area is a perfect combination of living in an affordable area that has less crowded surroundings than city center, and being able to enjoy all the things that city center has to offer within reach.

The final concept was determined by the location and the context of the site: residential apartment buildings are composed mostly rectangular with flat roofs.

The first column with a niche creates a conspicuous and inviting view because of its form and bright yellow color. An organization of unit types with cantilevered balconies and harmonious windows arrangement creates a distinctive facade pattern. Selected colors and materials are modern and durable. Yellow color subtly stands out from the white facade and creates a fresh and innovative look.
