This is indeed one of the best buildings in Vilnius. Magnificent. Very well made. Superb quality materials, beautiful detail. And please, don't be sorry for us. To appreciate a piece of fine architecture knowing a context is a must. Read comments, visit the site and than give your judgement based on design and not nationality.

The building itself fits very well into surroundings, and looks differnt from various observation spots. Amazing atrium and interior, attension to small details, well planned landscape and fantastic roof terrace open to public makes this building one of the best examples of contemporary architecture in Vilnius and whole Baltics.

Lithuania is too small and poor to be compared with such great architecture countries like Spain, US and others. it's just depends on economy. Anyway, bravo to Audrius Ambrasas Architects!

However I am wondering that will the roof garden be well used or not? Because it is just a big open space even no chairs and shelters. Or it is just a place for viewing?

It deserves a little bit more attention. What we can comment on is the design, and the design is beautiful in it's entirety. The connection to surrounding, the axis to the street and the power of the materials are spot on. This building does not shout out "look at me" because of the flashy exterior, as it is the case of most iconic stand-alone contemporary buildings, it oozes confidence and good taste. Architecture, design and urban planning shock hands on this one and the results are fantastic. This of course is a complex masterpiece which cannot be commented on a blog.
