About the project
history
The buildings in the area are part of Kaunas Fortress, they were built in 1886-1896. for the needs of the tsarist army. There were 28 artillery brigades here, and the buildings housed stables, carriages, warehouses, and an intendature warehouse. More than 100 horses could be kept in brick stables in total. There was also a laundry room in the area. It is believed that the buildings of one-story, two-story stables were built with masonry pillars, filling the gaps with logs. During the interwar period, the barracks went to the Lithuanian army. The purpose of the territory remained even in the Soviet era. The barracks buildings are built using red bricks, hewn stone foundations. They are richly decorated, gabled, with wooden (larch) ceilings and a roof structure, covered with tin. Brick stairs are vaulted, stairs are wooden. These architectural elements are also being restored in the buildings of the restored quarter.
The present
The quarter is for people who save time and value convenience. It is a house of exceptional elegance and luxury. They preserve authentic architectural details typical of tsarist construction - red brick walls, unique arches, high ceilings, large windows, and wide entrances to the dwellings. All of these elements are perfectly combined with the innovations of modern construction - the Corten wall covering, which covers the second floor of the house. Corten is a weather-resistant structural steel that has a rusting effect over time and fits harmoniously in red brick buildings.
