PIXELGARDEN is a residential complex concept shaped by the area’s industrial heritage, natural surroundings, and geomorphology. Positioned near major transport routes and the Neris River valley, the design creates a semi-enclosed courtyard—a protected, park-like “forest” that shields residents from noise while fostering a new local identity. The composition combines two contrasting geometries: a rectilinear, pixel-inspired block enclosing the inner courtyard and a freestanding cylindrical volume acting as a distinctive urban landmark. Extensive landscaping preserves existing trees and integrates playgrounds, promenades, and recreational paths, ensuring strong connections to the surrounding environment. PIXELGARDEN unites post-industrial character with vibrant, high-quality living spaces.
