A 90 sq.m. derelict apartment in a 1914 listed early modernism bulding in Vilnius was acquired by Gytis Vaitkevičius, partner of Plazma architecture studio. It went a on a full make over adapting to its familys‘ needs: removing partition between kitchen-to be and the living room, enlarging two bathrooms to fit a shower and bathtub in each, also repostioning of kitchen to the oposite side of apartment.

The interior became a kaleidoscope of styles through early modernism to nowadays with carefully selected eclectic furniture. Each piece was carefully added to avoid the appearance that everything was bought in one time at a shop. The existing ash parquet, installed during soviet times, was revarnished and left intact. Both bathrooms where fully wrapped in grey marble, with leftover marble used to fill the gaps of existing flooring, where the partitions once stood. Same marble was used for the inner window sills. A raised steel kitchen was added as well as a massive oak dining table, designed by Wolfgang Hartauer (prod. Tecta)

The plaster mouldings of previous soviet times reconstruction were also left intact, which required adding metal beams and a column for support.
Bespoke massive wood storage was added to all of the rooms.
New arched doors were informed by the existing arches of load bearing structures.

There are artworks of classic Lithuanian engraver A. Skirutytė and a plaster bas-relief created by J. Vildžiūnas was added to the master bedroom. Other objects displays the history of contemporary design and and include pieces by Mario Marenco, Ettore Sottsass, Piero ir Achille Castiglioni, Gianfranco Frattini, Poul Cadovius, etc.
