State Enterprise Lithuanian Airports

Design Approach

KUN is the second largest Lithuanian airport for budget airlines, located in an ambitious, technology- and industryfocused town with a strong national identity. To enhance the passenger experience, we established a strong sense of place and tailored retail offerings to a young traveler demographic, 70% of whom are women. We maximized visibility lines, incorporated pause points, selected materials thoughtfully, and designed inviting dwell zones to create a pleasant and engaging atmosphere, thereby maximizing retail revenues. We also developed technical landlord provisions and tenant design guidelines to ensure successful implementation of our vision, compiled in an 80-page guidebook.

Role:

Commercial masterplanning services including optioneering, districting, benchmarking, public realm activation, tenant mix planning, and shopfront guidelines. Deliverables include graphical materials, reports, and calculations

The project was delivered in collaboration with SOM (the architect). The commercial vision and merchandise mix were developed by evolving and enhancing the initial architectural plans and spatial characteristics to ensure commercial viability and alignment with local user behavior. Key public realm touchpoints were added and refined to maximize the commercial experience and revenue potential

MERCHANDISED MASTERPLAN LEVEL 1. FIRST FLOOR

Upper level categories are spread throughout based on diferent visitor flows and phasing.

METRO CONCOURSE

Bigger retail units are concentrated around metro concourse to benefit from high exposure to public transport users and visitors coming from bridges.

North and south expansions of retail plaza on level are dedicated to destinational and experiential offers.

Northern side commercial offer is dedicated to sophisticated experience seekers.

Southern side commercial offer is dedicated to active and family visitor.

Existing Building under demolition threat

Liaising with the client, quantity surveyors, and engineers, as well as producing the final report, municipality presentation, and executive summary of commercial feasibility studies.

Assignment from the client required commercial masterplanning for the outdated iconic service station on a busy tourist highway. However, during the course of the project “true” need were identified - masterplanning options asigned to cost analysis that helped to prove local municipality and road engineers of potential possibility to maintain existing structure with minimal change, but improving visitor experience and redesign of car and pedestrian flows. Project required ou-of-the box thinking and change of brief. Work gave the client confidence and support and left them extreemely happy with the outcome

Approach

For the 2012 Biennale exhibition, DEFACTO conducted an investigation into the Alblasserwaard-Vijfheerenlanden area to develop a flood risk strategy. The study aimed to determine up to what point “business as usual” water security measures could effectively mitigate flooding, while avoiding unacceptable consequences for spatial quality, costs, or historical significance of the area. Efforts were made to explore potential synergies between water security and environmental, socio-economic challenges within the region.

Creating a base map, 21 sections of the current situation, a flood risk map for the area, and an extreme scenario map for the final presentation.

A new economic model for floodplains within the dikes to accommodate river tidal fluctuations and excessive rainfall.

Approach

The building project follows an ecological approach, analyzing and integrating various site systems to inform design decisions and emphasize the site’s character. This approach influences the choice of materials and structures, specifically cross-laminated timber (CLT), known for its flexibility. CLT panels can be custom-made, enabling future modifications to the building if necessary, aligning with both ecological and aesthetic considerations

The school design prioritizes ecological principles in site treatment and building materials.

This beachfront project is highly challenging due to its location directly facing the sea, complex configuration, small volume, bespoke design, handmade materials, and deeply involved client. To expedite construction and ensure precision, prefabricated techniques were selected, testing bespoke architectural solutions and overcoming numerous limitations posed by harsh weather conditions. Innovative thinking and strong motivation from the onsite team, coupled with a wide range of technical knowledge and effective communication skills, were crucial. Proudly, we delivered a top-quality architectural vision within tight budget constraints.
