Building connections in a historic neighbourhood
Lietuvos Draudimas
The project for Lietuvos Draudimas in Vilnius prioritises community and the surrounding context of the neighbourhood. The new headquarters, along with three apartment buildings, are designed around a lush, green courtyard that promotes connection among residents and employees. By blending modern architecture with the historic charm of J. Basanavicius Street, the project creates inviting public spaces. A key focus for the project has been adapting the historic street scene to the design of the new buildings. The project was recognized as the Best Multifunctional Project in Lithuania 2024.
On the ground floor, a direct entrance from the street leads to the green courtyard, creating a bright and open expression.
A distinctive feature is the archaeological discovery of a 17th-century gardener’s house. The historic foundations have been carefully preserved and are openly displayed on the ground floor, where they can be viewed by both visitors and passersby.
The large floor-to-ceiling windows ensure a great inflow of daylight and contributes to a nice working environment.
The headquarters has a light coloured façade and vertical lines that mimics the surrounding buildings.

Steen Enrico Andersen, Senior Partner at PLHAB Lietuvos Draudimas wanted a modern, sustainable headquarters that fits into the surroundings of the historic J.Basanaviciaus Street close to the UNESCO preserved area. It has been important to create the new headquarters and the apartment buildings with a modern expression in balance with the surrounding historic buildings.
