KLOJIMO TEATRAS

The Vilnius Congress Centre reimagines the humble barn—klojimo teatras—as a contemporary civic instrument: an architecture of gathering that shelters, stages, and sustains public life. Rooted in a history of quiet cultural resistance, the design translates intimate communal practices into a monumental yet welcoming riverfront presence. Three linear auditoria align along a single civic axis, anchored by a continuous multi height lobby that draws the park inward, blurring interior and exterior with generous glazing, daylight, and greenery.
A single pitched timber roof, evoking vernacular form, unifies the ensemble and frames a sequence of public realms: luminous foyers, terraces, informal meeting zones, and a sculptural spiral stair that rises to a balcony of light and encounter. Behind the scenes, an invisible service spine houses backstage, offices, VIP, and technical functions, keeping public spaces open, flexible, and luminous. At the summit, an elevated roof garden and public restaurant form a civic belvedere with panoramic views across river and city, transforming the rooftop into an accessible horizon for everyday life and special events.
The proposal forges a civic continuum: a coherent complex including a 120 key hotel, pedestrianized approaches, a waterborne pontoon, and shared streets that knit the city to the river. Auditoria deliver adaptable, high quality acoustic environments; modular partitions, independent systems, and dedicated service access enable simultaneous events with operational clarity.
