The winning design was developed by the architects Vytautas Bieksa, Andrius Skiezgelas, Marius Kanevicius, Rokas Kilciauskas, and Jezi Stankevic, who received a prize of LVL 10,000, informs LETA.
The plan foresees significant changes to the building's design only in the roof area, with the addition of a loft and a redesign of the roof to allow people to walk outside and enjoy a panorama of the surrounding area. A glass-roofed basement will also be added at the rear of the museum.
The reconstruction of the building, which was originally constructed from 1903 to 1905, could cost from LVL 5-13 million.
