Rooftop Terrace Design · Vilnius
From Senamiestis to Turniškės
Berlin-based manufactory delivering rooftop terrace concepts to Vilnius's most discerning UNESCO Old Town townhouses and presidential-quarter villas, with plant design, outdoor kitchens and snow-rated wellness architecture under one curatorial hand.
Why Vilnius is different
UNESCO Senamiestis, the Užupis artistic tradition, and Baltic forest edges
Vilnius is the Lithuanian capital with one of the largest preserved baroque Old Towns in Northern Europe (UNESCO Senamiestis). Užupis adds the bohemian artistic quarter; Antakalnis represents the contemporary hillside HNWI belt; Valakampiai and Turniškės preserve the presidential-quarter villa tradition; Žvėrynas anchors the Neris-side residential zone; Pavilnys offers the panoramic hillside dimension. Climate is humid continental Baltic – cool short summers, very cold long winters.
We work in this tension daily: with LAS-registered architects and structural engineers, with Vilniaus miesto savivaldybė and Kultūros paveldo departamentas consultants, and with the lifestyle expectations of Vilnius clients between Senamiestis townhouses, Užupis residences, Antakalnis hillside estates, Žvėrynas Neris-side properties, Valakampiai and Turniškės presidential-quarter villas, plus Pavilnys hillside and Verkiai forest residences. Our role is the plant and outdoor lifestyle layer – ecological substrate, Baltic-Lithuanian curation, and the wellness elements (sunset terrace, outdoor kitchen, sauna pavilion, fire pit) that turn a Vilnius rooftop into a year-round sanctuary.
Our Vilnius approach
Curated plants, ecological substrate, lifestyle integration
- Symbiosis methodology – mycorrhizal partnerships, effective microorganisms and humus building replace chemical fertilisation under cold continental winter and snow load.
- Baltic-Lithuanian palette – structural specimens (Scots pine, Norway spruce, birch, alder, rowan, oak), Baltic evergreens (juniper, yew, dwarf pine, boxwood), flowering accents (rugosa rose, lupin, peony, jasmine), Lithuanian manor-garden plants.
- Wellness architecture – sunset terrace, outdoor kitchen, sauna pavilion and fire pit integration with Neris or forest framing.
- UNESCO-aware execution – LAS-registered architects and structural engineers, Vilniaus miesto savivaldybė permitting, Kultūros paveldo departamentas heritage consent, snow-load-rated detailing.

How a Vilnius project unfolds
From first conversation to handover
- 01
Understanding before drawing
Site visit (or detailed remote survey for first conversations from Berlin), discussion of the people and rhythm using the terrace, early constraint mapping (savivaldybė, Kultūros paveldo, UNESCO, snow load).
- 02
Concept and curation
A small set of plant compositions, material moodboards, wellness element placement. Always optionality.
- 03
Engineering and approvals
Load calculations with Lithuanian-licensed structural engineer, Vilniaus miesto savivaldybė permitting, Kultūros paveldo departamentas heritage consent.
- 04
Installation and handover
Our team installs on site over one to several weeks, ideally between May and September. Plants are sourced from Baltic and northern European nurseries and pre-conditioned for the Vilnius climate. After handover we offer ongoing care subscriptions following the same symbiosis methodology.

The first call is unhurried – understanding before any concept. We travel from Berlin for site visits when the project warrants it.
