City development
Area renovation
RESIdeas is a method of communication for residential areas. It encourages individuals to comment on what they want to see and do in their community in order to bring back their responsiveness to their surroundings.
This project is aimed to envision and visualise subjective experiences to relate spaces to people. It becomes a collection of possibilities for the initial stages of reconsidering the domestic environment in the city.
RESIdeas aims to collect dreams and wishes about their surroundings from the inhabitants of the residential area. It invites them to picture new platforms to expand domestic activities into the urban landscape.
It investigates the potential of existing structures in the urban fabric in order to benefit the residential sector and activate a ground for communication between the residents.
Engaging Envisioning
RESIdeas is a project for imagining potential rather than designing solutions. RESIdeas aims to create an interface for communication in order to find better informed solutions for residential area development.
Testing Experimenting
Proposing Building
The Ex . Co . Ex . City Exploration . Collaboration . Exposition .
A strategy starts from the research of the area surrounding the given location – Submarine Wharf. The building is located in the Port of Rotterdam, Heijplaat, in the neighborhood of RDM (Research, Design and Manufacturing) Campus. What once was a deserted shipyard now has been transformed into a campus where Innovation Dock- a bridge between knowledge and business- takes place. The RDM focus on sustainable innovations which are crucial for the Rotterdam economy. The Innovation Dock creates a platform for inventive enterprises by offering workshop spaces for product
development in the fields of building, mobility, product design, maintenance and maritime. Over thirty companies are now using the space. Although they are all connected through the field of sustainability, the work relations and encounters continue to be fragmented and separated. After visiting the site it became clear to me that not only the participants are isolated from one another but also the Innovation Dock from the public. On the contrary, the need of collaboration has been clearly stated by the users. The majority of enterprises admit that the way to survive is only by working together and being visible. However, all attempts to bring people together had failed. In addition, not only administrative work but also manufacturing and storing are
located in one space. Therefore, I discovered a need of building a synergetic community space inside the structure of RDM. The goal of my project is to occupy an existing vacant structure that is currently the Submarine Wharf, as an extrusion of the corporate Innovation Dock. Creating a space oriented to collaboration would allow more fluent organizational collusion and transparency to the public. Mixing commercial and public functions in the building would be beneficial not only for the RDM but also for the community of Heijplaat and for the city of Rotterdam.
A dynamic system of multifunctional platforms working as one mechanism has been proposed for the Submarine Wharf. Implementing a system of units for each company with the functions of office, representation, collaboration, exposition and meeting would create a new network-based work space. One of the most important aspects of the design in this case would be vertical and horizontal connections between the platforms. These connections would create random interactions and serve as a neutral
environment. Exploring the vertical connections between the platforms would also allow using the building in a more efficient way. Therefore, it would become possible to use the ground level as a public space creating a deeper connection between the organization and the community.
exploration and exposition in the new branch. Orientation and planning of the space should merge the community around. Thus, RDM could be experienced and function as one organic unit which would shape a strong base for any future developments.
This project would create an opportunity to keep the attention to manufacturing in the current commercial Innovation Dock building while directing the cooperation,
By providing a space focus on the users and the public, we could discover the full potential of the area emerging from a new vibrant environment.
CONEformation A Measuring Set
CONEformation is a set of measuring cones for cooking, designed for mixing ingredients and serving food. The organic shapes of the cones are an unexpected yet a practical addition to the task of measuring for recipes in the kitchen. Recipes require a number of ingredients that are added at precise quantities to achieve the desired culinary result. Salt, herbs and spices are key ingredients that add flavour to a dish, and therefore they should be easily accessible
throughout the cooking process. The product is a collection of six ceramic cones that are sized to correspond to customary volumes noted in most cooking recipes. The set of six cones are arranged on a support frame that can be placed inside a typical kitchen drawer or inserted to an existing shelf. CONEformation is made by repurposing typical measuring
funnels used to pour required quantity of granulated material into six precise mounds. The mounds are formed by salt for this product, originally inspired by the colourful display mounds of spices in street markets. The salt mounds are hardened by spraying water and then covered by pouring layer of liquid ceramic. When the salt casting agent is removed, a unique and organic ceramic set of vessels is formed.

Sectioning and layering Research Through Making
The project was framed under the theme of TRANSCENDENTAL MATTER. By a Research Through Making technique, the theme of Sectioning and Layering was exploited with the goal of creating an adaptive system at the
scale of the interior. The structural capabilities of cardboard were explored and manipulated into a new type of system. Layering as a technique produced interesting light conditions aspects when
metal was used as the main material. The merger of the two elements resulted in a hybrid system which encompassed transcendental characteristics.

INFO
!
RoofTub is a pop up store aimed to promote traditional Lithuanian hot tubs in the Netherlands. Hot tub can be seen as a healthy and fun tool for leisure that helps embrace the Dutch weather. Using regularly it can give a positive effect on blood circulation, improve activity of internal organs and immune system, relax the central nerves system, improve sleep quality and accelerate thinking. The concept of the store has been built around the experience of the product. Since hot tubs are used outdoors, usually in a place with a spectacular landscape, the location for the pop up store has been chosen on a rooftop of the
Shieblock building in the centre part of Rotterdam. The area around Hofplein was once a bustling district but is now dominated by speeding traffic. It is now being transformed in to a lively pedestrian area once more. The main aim of locating RoofTub on the Shieblock building has been to expose the urban landscape as a part of the product experience contextualizing hot tubs in the urban fabric. The retail strategy involves the possibility to rent a hot tub in the pop up store; rent a hot tub for a private garden; buy a hot
tub (order in the pop up store); buy a hot tub (online). The interior spatial organization has been planned to map the main view in the terrace. The space has been divided to inform about the product, experience and function of the space according to different material. The exterior zoning has been focused to showcase the product as well as to explore of various ways of the display translating the concept of the store.
OKT
Vilnius City Theater
OKT is an interior architecture project for a multifunctional Vilnius city theater complex.
of this project has been done in collaboration with Oskaras Korsunovas theater team.
The location for the complex is a former factory building in Vilnius, Aukstaiciu st. 8. The most important part of the project is the detailed analysis of the industrial building and the inner spaces accommodation to a new function. The reconstruction solution has been testified to work when applied in practice, also it could be easily adapted to other industrial buildings. The program
An independent theater is a dynamic, constantly developing organism that is attempting to stay relevant at all times, remain attractive and recognized. For that kind of organization it is essential to have a space which mirrors their values- a space without any restrictions or obligations, a platform for implementing creative ideas. The main goal of this project has been to adapt the space for the theater and
not the other way around. For this reason all of the focus has been concentrated into cleaning up the space as much as possible, avoiding any distractions and unnecessary details, allowing performers to be creative as well as viewers to remain focus. OKT is a multifunctional and flexible space.
