Keywords: Neighbourhood development, railway, bridge, housing, mixed use, visual axes, under development.
Development idea
View from the residential building
This projects uses the railway bridge as a part of urban landscape in order to create new pedestrian links and attract vitality to the area. Proposed urban development increases density in the city centre with mixed use buildings and improves connectivity across the railway while preserving and enhancing main visual and compositional axes.

Project surroundings
River banks of Vilnius, nature sounds and the colours of changing seasons. These are the aesthetic and didactic elements displayed to the pupils of this school. 4 individual cubic volumes contain classrooms oriented towards the river and natural sunlight. A sinking curved stylobate creates roof terraces and serves as the main interior space containing other school facilities.

The Rain of Light
Individual assignment, 2008 Valencia, Spain
Keywords: Mini-museum, rain, light, pattern, water reservoir, ripples, city model.
Project concept is derived from the semantics of the location related to a rain water reservoir apposed with a strong presence of Valencia’s sunlight. As a result, I designed an interior space having an effect of the rain of light. It is emphasized by using a rain ripple concrete pattern on the floor.

Nature’s most efficient geometric form is used as an icon for the world sustainability centre. The optical light fibre tentacles transmit natural daylight to the interior while at night time they illuminate the outside of the building. The project is a unique local landmark where infinite horizons meet the round silhouette floating on a water surface.

Personal Statement I am a determined and responsible person radiating optimism and calmness even in the most difficult situations. I feel very comfortable working in an international team as I have skills to communicate my ideas and listen carefully to the others. Curiosity and seek for knowledge has lead me to traveling, living, working and studying at a lot of places resulting in an internationally experienced open mind, which aids me during the research, concept, design and presentation processes of the work.
