I'm no professional but this building hold very high standard. The statue? Old Soviet remains right?

The facade is excellent. Cool statue.

I like it, looks great from all sides. Definitely the best looking highrise in the Baltics.

Awesome shots Mantai, we've missed them here and in Miestai.net already

hey guys,
i am very interested about apartament project (arched form) which is on the right from Hansabanka office (on the first photo).
Are there still tower cranes and construction is progressing ?
Thanks.

What about changing the thread title? There is no such thing as 'Hansabank' anymore. All former 'Hansabank' entities are now called 'Swedbank' hence it should be 'Swedbank Central Office'. No?

Mods are lazy here, you should PM one if you want to see thread title change

Amazing area with nice buildings, especially this project!

I have spent few hours in the new district of Vilnius on 11th of July and i was pretty surprised with the development. Seemed to me like a real European-model district. Despite it was Saturday, works on "Swedbank" office project were performed. They use diamond-shaped sheet steel as an external material for facade, quite interesting.

Buildings nearby, as i understood it belongs to Lithuanian television. There are offices inside!

I think the last picture is a national art gallery

[Pansori]

Thanks for the pictures, andrejt. I agree it looks quite impressive over there but still lots of things have to be done for the area to be called a model of modern European district. Hopefully in 10-15 years from now that will be the case.

And yes, those massive black panels are of the National Art Gallery. A sort of permanent contemporary art which is made into a functional building. Some do not appreciate them but I find them very cool and certainly not out of place surrounded by modern buildings..

Finally "Swedbank" building was illuminated.

o štai ir viduj:
juoda-balta-pilka-stiklas-medis
medžio apdaila man labai patiko (laiptai ir kai kur grindys) - šiltas pilkšvai rudas atspalvis, atrodo turėtų labai kontrastuoti su kitom medžiagom, bet iš tikrųjų visuma labai gerai atrodo.



























na ir truputį apačioj :}

Wow, love the interior! http://lh5.ggpht.com/_BgT7-L1qnnQ/Sp...0/IMG_2837.JPG

Simplistic but light and cool. Use of wood also adds up to the character... I guess wood could become one of the main features of the new modern Lithuanian architecture. After all it's a country with a very significant land area occupied by forests which is also rooted in the culture and early religion (paganism).
