OpenHouse Vilnius is a project that invites townspeople and city guests to discover architecture, experience and realize the value of the material environment surrounding us. The Green Building was reconstructed by R. Arch Studios under the leadership Rolandas Palekas, the winner of the National Culture and Art Award. Implementing the idea of architects to plant the walls of a building with vertical green columns was a real challenge. There have been no such analogues in Lithuania so far.
