A reconstruction project of an educational building at Šilo g. 15, Vilnius was prepared and implemented. The old building (built around 1950) was reconstructed by building a new annex. The existing building had elements of classicism characteristic of that period — a high plinth, representative staircases composed to fit the space, dentillated cornices under the roof and under the windowsills. The aim was to preserve and restore all the elements during reconstruction. The annex was designed taking into account the existing surrounding villa-type manner of construction, and a moderate style was chosen in order to accentuate the existing part of the building.
The location falls into the protection zone of Vilnius Historic Centre, therefore the project solutions were selected taking into account the heritage protection requirements applicable to the site. The terrain of the territory has large slopes, which were used to create children’s playgrounds and terraces.
The work project (all parts of the project) was prepared using digital information modelling (BIM), intersection checks, liquidations, classifying elements and linking them to the quantities of materials and works.
