Kaunas V Plaza
An exterior facade precedent by 3deluxe showcasing the contrast between sweeping curved structural glazing and a fluidly perforated solid white wall.
- What we like about this project
- The window corners feature exaggerated radii that blur the boundary between rectangular punched windows and organic portholes.

- contemporary
- Geometry
- Curvilinear corner massing with large floor-to-ceiling curved glazing transitions into a solid white facade pierced by rounded, trapezoidal punched windows.
- Facade system
- Curtain wall corner glazing paired with a solid panelized rainscreen system featuring organic punched openings.
- Structural guess
- Steel or reinforced concrete frame with cantilevered floor slabs at the curved corner.
- Spatial scale
- Multi-story commercial building scale with human figure visible near the ground floor entrance.
- Lighting
- Bright daylight creating strong sky reflections on blue-tinted glazing and sharp shadows in the rounded window reveals.
- Atmosphere
- Bright, sleek, and futuristic with smooth white surfaces reflecting the sky.
- Environmental context
- Urban setting with a mature tree in the foreground framing the multi-story commercial facade.
- Spatial experience
- The facade shifts from a transparent, highly reflective curved corner to a more solid, rhythmically perforated wall condition.
- Composition rhythm
- Asymmetrical, organic placement of rounded window openings contrasting with the steady horizontal strip windows on the adjacent volume.
