项目的灵感主要来源于建筑的历史。19世纪中期，一系列最为严格自律的犹太宗教活动在这里发源和发展。在1941~1944年的纳粹占领时期，位于Uzupis的犹太教会被摧毁。之后，在苏联的统治下，这座荒凉的祈祷室被改造成了住宅公寓。立陶宛重新独立将近20年后，人们才再次注意到这座犹太建筑遗址，并且考虑对其采取某些修复措施。Trimonis Architects的设计目标是保留建筑的历史尺度及其和周边环境的关系。为此，设计需要在平面布局和室内空间上维持原有建筑简洁而基本的形式。

The short history of the building was the inspirations and key concepts for the development of the project. In the middle of the 19th century, it was a place, where one of the most disciplined Jewish religious movements was born and developed. During the Nazi occupation in 1941-1944 the synagogue in Uzupis was ravaged, and after that came Soviet occupation during which this desolated prayer house was remodelled into living apartments. When Lithuania regained independence, it took almost 20 years, that someone would notice this Jewish heritage object and do something about it. Developing the project A.Trimonis aimed to restore the historic scale of the building as the dialogue with the surroundings. It was very important for him to maintain the simple, elementary forms in both the plan and the interior spaces.

建筑位于Vilnius老城区。完成所有书面文件并获得当地政府的改造许可是项目面临的最大的问题，也是项目实施耗费了较长时间的原因。如何在协调项目长久以来的材料和色彩的同时，保留设计的主要理念，是建筑师需要解决的挑战之一。

The building is located in Vilnius old town. To process all documentation and receive the local authority renovation approval is always the biggest issue. That was the case why the project implementation took quite a while. There was a challenge not to lose the main concept and idea of the project, keep in line the chosen materials & colours during such a long time of project fulfilment.

改造中，设计使用当地典型的材料，简单而真实，包括黏土砖、锡板屋面、庭院石材铺地等。建筑中所有的砖材都在立陶宛手工制造，遵循建筑师设计的尺寸。砖块的颜色通过煤灰和水调和。

For building reconstruction were used simple, authentic materials which are typical for this area, like clay bricks and tin roof, stone paving in the yard. All building bricks were made in Lithuania by hands and according to architect assigned dimensions. The bricks colour was adjusted with a mixture of soot and water.
