Raugyklos St. 3

The building at Raugyklos st. 3, looking directly at the sculptural egg of the Vilnius basilisk brought from Užupis, was completely collapsed and only the street facade remained. Aketuri infused a new life into these ruins. Although the existing buildings were not heritage protected, we have preserved every interesting fragment of the masonry and, by combining old and new in the courtyard space, we have obtained an interesting and unexpected combination that reflects both the poetry of the old city and the vigor of the new. After conducting polychromatic research, we found a color rarely seen on the street facades of Vilnius — gray extracted from ash, which we are returning to the face of the building.
