This is Vilnius city map which is very similar to other post Soviet cities with very strongly expressed city center and …. very poor surrounding areas, we call them sleeping areas. You can see one big green point and one small instead of question sign. This means that our goal to bring culture and activities closer to community is already realizing step by step.
3
All entertainment and events in Vilnius, just as in other post-soviet cities, are concentrated in the centre, usually the old town. This leaves the bigger part of the city – the so called “dormitory areas“ – in a complete cultural standstill.
4
A lot of young families live in such areas and they don’t have where to go and what to see nearby, except supermarkets. Do you think it’s so easy to pack all this team and to drive for one hour of entertainment? That’s why many of us stay at their homes instead of having such challenge.
5
When the building was designed, we didn’t want to have such traditional style house, because it is not inspiring for creation. We wanted to have something more experimental, more attractive.
6
One of our inspirations was Rainbow in Ukraine. People come here because it is an attractive object. They like to spend their time there. That’s why we had to put different space perception and innovative solutions also into our space.
7
Went deeply into environment-friendly solutions. The aim was to collect the building from modules completely independent from city infrastructure, for example - an improved heating system, sewerage system and system of waste disposal. As a result of this - we have our own water all year round, composting toilets and etc.
8
There were made several design projects during the workshop of architects. Here is one of them. The present (sea containers) project was chosen for its lowest cost.
9
From very beginning we were trying to involve local community by informing them what we are doing. The presentation of Beepart project to public was made on February 2011, right on the field where there were full of snow, in the forest using projectors, offering pancakes for people.
10
On March 2011 two used containers from Klaipėda were brought and construction works began. We have prefabricated container brought in to place.
11
We have moved main space into second floor, because of that we win more space downstairs. Another important moment is that it is temporary building, which can be removed to another place without dismantling every screw.
12
Lots of experiments in the building were done - special tent tension system, led laps, green roof. The walls were heated by straws, the roof has been seeded with grass.
13
The scheme of Beepart concept.
14
The led lamps shine at night and colors movement on house walls can be regulated. So we are solving two problems, one is darkness in this place and also it works like eye catcher.

Space for various activities, like art gallery, seminars, conferences, cinema reviews, other; Furniture is very flexible and simple.
19
Stairs are automatically going up. A fireplace makes place cozy and warm, but at the same time it is useful, because we are burning garbage which has been left after workshops.
20
Since 2010 we started to do urban artistic interventions in Pilaitė district with different artists. We were interested to find out, if people are interested in art, which appears in their neighbourhood. How long the installations can stay? We started to domesticate this place.
21
Dance performance.

The first international light installation festival was held in autumn 2011, which counted 20 light installations, which were presented in the forest near the building.

Every time we have various exhibitions. Artists are coming to our place to show their works. We believe that people who are coming for every day activities all the time has to see some art. They are not afraid of art anymore. Art should be a usual thing not only for professionals and only then we will see full galleries of people in city center.
