The City, Framed by Your Windows

Through expansive windows, the city skyline and treetops unfold, sunlight moves gently through the rooms, and in the evening, the city can be admired from a private balcony. This is the lifestyle offered by these 82.22 sq. m apartments in the distinctive Matau Vilnių development in the heart of Vilnius. Contemporary architecture, a refined interior and thoughtfully considered details create an elegant home where the rhythm of the city meets a calm, light-filled atmosphere.
Upon entering, a seamless main living space unfolds. The living room, dining area and kitchen form a harmonious whole, while each zone retains its own distinct character. Ceilings reaching almost 3 metres enhance the sense of space, while expansive windows fill the rooms with natural light and allow the city to become part of the interior. Warm wood, light fabrics, subtle earthy tones and carefully selected lighting create an atmosphere of understated elegance.
At the heart of the living room stands a soft Italian Samoa Divani sofa, complemented by a Bolia coffee table. Bespoke wooden cabinetry extending across an entire wall brings architectural coherence to the space. The dining area is positioned beside the windows, bathed in daylight and offering views of Vilnius gradually illuminating as evening falls. An Italian Luceplan pendant light above the table adds a subtle design accent.
The kitchen has been designed to offer functionality without compromising the aesthetics of the open-plan living space. Custom-made cabinetry by Bet Baldai continues the warm wood palette found throughout the interior, while the Taj Mahal quartzite countertop introduces a sense of lightness and understated luxury.
The principal bedroom continues the home's serene aesthetic. Natural wood textures, soft fabrics, individually selected lighting and large windows create a welcoming atmosphere dedicated to rest and relaxation. The second room is currently arranged as a bright home office. Floor-to-ceiling corner windows reveal sweeping views, turning the city into an impressive backdrop. If desired, this room can easily be adapted into a second bedroom.
The private balcony extends the living space outdoors, offering views over leafy treetops and the city skyline. It is a place for reading, long conversations or peaceful evenings watching the sky change colour as the city lights begin to appear one by one.
The quality of the interior is revealed in its details. Bonum Wood parquet flooring runs throughout the home, with a bespoke colour developed specifically for this interior. Extra-height doors by Vituko durys were individually commissioned, electric curtains are installed in every room, and adjustable lighting allows the atmosphere to shift effortlessly from a bright daytime setting to a warm, intimate evening ambience. Comfort is ensured by Mitsubishi air conditioning and Blauberg heat recovery ventilation systems.
A parking space in a secure enclosed garage is available for an additional price.
Pakalnės Street offers one of the greatest advantages of living in the city centre — Vilnius' most important destinations are within walking distance. The Old Town and New Town, Gediminas Avenue, restaurants, cafés and cultural venues are all nearby, while the greenery surrounding the development provides an added sense of privacy and a welcome retreat from the pace of city life.
