Kulautuva mineral water buvette

Our completed projects range from individual solutions for private spaces to public areas and architectural landmarks. In every project, we strive to combine durable materials, functionality, and aesthetics, so that our Corten steel products blend naturally into their surroundings and lend them a distinctive character.

Project author: UAB "Studija Archispektras" (Aidas Kalinauskas, Ignas Kalinauskas, Tomas Ščerbakovas). Client: Kaunas district municipality.

The buvette stands in the centre of Kulautuva on Akacijų Alley, next to the Kulautuva rehabilitation hospital, a branch of the LSMU Kaunas Clinics. It is built above a mineral spring whose water visitors can drink.

The buvette was conceived as more than a building: the architect wanted it to be both a resting place and a community space — to drink the water, sit down to read or share books. The interior opens onto a pine forest view, making the space feel open and cosy.

The construction posed real challenges: planning how to manufacture and transport the large Corten steel parts, which serve as both cladding and load-bearing structure. Their size required special transport and lifting equipment, and during installation the parts were joined into a single seamless structure with no visible fixings.

Today the buvette is one of the town's landmarks, open all year round, its surroundings arranged for everyone — with benches and bicycle racks convenient for residents and guests alike.
