Located in Riešė Eldership, surrounded by mature nature and set on a 1.23-hectare plot, this private residence is a subtle dialogue between architecture and landscape, defined by tranquillity, privacy and a natural rhythm of living, while remaining conveniently connected to Vilnius.
The ensemble follows a cohesive architectural concept – pitched roof silhouettes, clean proportions and a harmonious combination of natural materials allow the architecture to blend organically into its surroundings. Timber detailing brings warmth and tactility to the exterior, while high-quality timber-framed windows elegantly frame the surrounding landscape and fill the interiors with natural light.
The 154.8 sq. m main residence combines a welcoming atmosphere with a sense of spaciousness. Open-plan interiors, high ceilings and natural textures create a feeling of lightness and harmony, while the connection between the interior and the surrounding landscape is felt throughout the home.
The residence is complemented by two separate 39 sq. m auxiliary buildings and a 44.41 sq. m detached structure, currently used as an additional guest / leisure space. The latter is not fully adapted for residential use – it is not insulated and does not have water supply or wastewater systems installed. These additional spaces offer flexibility to be adapted to the future owners’ individual needs.
A wine cellar below ground level adds character and a distinctive sense of authenticity to the residence.
Contemporary engineering solutions include A+ energy efficiency, a heat recovery ventilation system and a NIBE heating system, ensuring comfort and efficiency throughout the year.
This is architecture that does not seek to dominate, but rather to create an atmosphere – a place for those who value tranquillity, space, privacy and an exceptional quality of life surrounded by nature.
