Carter Tyberghein
Carter Tyberghein has been shortlisted for Residential Project Value £1-2.5 Million Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.
Carter Tyberghein was commissioned to develop a scheme for the interior spaces for this family home located in the most prestigious area of Vilnius, off the oldest main artery of the city which dates back to the Middle Ages. The city has been included as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In light of this, the initial task was to carry out meticulous space planning to link seamlessly the oldest parts of the apartment with the rest of the property as well as maximising the surface area. Due to the thickness of the ancient internal walls and the building being listed, this task had its limitations. However, the layout provides a continuous, uninterrupted flow throughout the living areas, whilst the varying ceiling heights from one room to another creates desirable rolling effects, defining the role of each room and provides a sense of uniqueness to this family home. Remnants of painted friezes were found in part of the property during the refurbishment which were salvaged and reinstalled.
The integration of the design into the wider surroundings played an important role to create a sense of place and was also part of the initial brief. The internal envelop of the property was developed using traditional and decorative architectural elements such as panelled doors, decorative cornices to harmonise with the traditional and historical character of the city and its building.
A dramatic wide staircase leads the way to the first-floor landing and living areas, while another, with bespoke wrought iron balustrade, takes us to the bedroom floor. Design elements, carefully hand-picked finishes, furniture, and soft furnishing were developed simultaneously to ensure coherence in the design, producing a full and coordinated package leading to holy grail of all Carter Tyberghein’s work – a timeless interior with contemporary classic interpretations.
