The location of the office building on Konstitucijos Prospektas (Constitutional Boulevard) creates a transition between a large park area to the north and the city’s international business area in the east.

The distinctive geometry of the building with the sloping cut of the roof, and a floor plan without corners, creates an exciting new area in the public park. Design elements like double facades, an optimal location on the site and a maximum utilization of daylight are elements that enhance the physical work environment. To attract international companies, the buildings dimensions and layout have been adapted to European and American standards.

The flexible structure of the floors and elevator cores makes it possible to divide the building into smaller units, depending on the individual requirements of the tenants. The building was completed in 2015.

"We have managed to establish a good relationship to the Lithuanians over a longer period of time. And now, PLH has introduced new and innovative ideas about workplace design, sustainability and energy-efficient construction to the Lithuanians. The Scandinavian brand also appeals to a lot of people around the world right now - in part because we work in a very honest way with the materials."

- Steen Enrico Andersen, Partner at PLH Architects.
