PROJECT OVERWIEW
Villa G is a private residence located in Kaunas, Lithuania, on the northern bank of the Nemunas River. The project responds to a complex site condition where the primary landscape views face north toward the river, while street access is located to the south. The architectural solution prioritizes openness, daylight, and privacy, transforming site constraints into a layered spatial experience that fully engages with the surrounding landscape.
EXTERIOR CHARACTER
The architecture of the villa takes its clues from the horizontal lines of the landscape: the river with the woods in the background on its both sides. The villa is therefore designed in three long white horizontal planes that almost seem to be floating due to the neutral black wall tiles that blend to the dark woods behind the house. The South facade is designed with vertical timber slates in betwee black wall tiles that blend to the dark woods behind the house. The South facade is designed with vertical timber slates in between the glazing that he South facade
