Description: This multifunctional housing complex unites administrative, commercial and residential functions in one location. Intended as a landmark for visitors arriving from the north, it also upgrades its immediate neigbourhood marked by monotonous prefabricated apartment blocks from the Soviet era. The contrast between the historic core and vast residential districts comprised of dull apartment blocks built in the Soviet era is characteristic of many cities in Eastern Europe. This contrast is particularly striking in Vilnius, the old town centre which was included in the UNSCO World Heritage List in 1994 owing to its highly praised Baroque architecture. In Vilnius, rapid economic and thus urban growth has necessitated the development of peripheral suburban areas. The city’s planning approach seeks to decentralise the urban structure of the city by establishing new multifunctional centres on the outskirts. One such centre is the Kamanė housing project built by Vilnius Architecture Studio (VAS). The name “Kamanė” – Lithuanian for “bumble bee” – is programmatic for the concept of the new complex which incorporates commercial, administrative and residential functions. Analogous to a beehive, it thus provides a place to live and work, forging a strong sense of community. The complex comprises a 10-storey administrative and an 11-storey residential block connected by a low-rise building for commercial use at ground level, as well as two underground parking levels.
