Not many people get to say that they live in an ancient medieval Cannon Foundry, but one lucky family in Pavilniai Regional Park has this distinct honor thanks to a brilliant design by Natkevicius and Partners.
The house features a thoroughly modern glass facade that wraps around the ancient foundry, which gives the home the a contemporary feel. Usually when it comes to choosing a home, you have to choose between an old-world charm or a modern design aesthetic, but Natkevicius and Partners' tasteful preservation architecture allows for the best of both worlds.
