The creative non-profit community house BEEpart (meaning “Be a part”, “bee art” or “bee” in a sense of “common work”) has been established as a platform for cultural and social innovation in the Pilaitė district in Vilnius. It aims to improve the local social climate, promote dialogue, inspire people to get engaged in cultural activities and foster social innovation. The building, which was designed over two years by Simonas Liūga and Andrius Ciplijauskas, distinguishes itself by its unique design and innovative, environment-friendly solutions.
