The modern building was designed and constructed in the historic center of Grodno. The main challenge of the project was to design a contemporary building on a small vacant site, seamlessly integrating it into Grodno’s historic center while preserving the existing tree within the development boundaries. The building's concept draws inspiration from the historic brick architecture of the city's central part but reinterpreted in a modern way. It was designed and built in accordance with the height restrictions of the historic center, following the historical modular grid while avoiding stylistic imitation or a pseudo-historical approach. The building’s silhouette was shaped with consideration for preserving the tree within the vacant site boundaries. A dialogue between the building and the tree emerges through light and shadow, further enhanced by protruding bricks that transform the facade’s appearance. As a result, the existing tree has become an integral part of the composition. It is clad in brick — a traditional material for the "old city." The project utilized handcrafted mineral brick made from natural raw materials, an eco-friendly product with high physical performance.
