“Unexpectedly discovered premises in the heart of Užupis, Lithuania, to many people it may have looked like an abandoned, dilapidated basement without electricity. I saw it DIFFERENTLY. I saw the authentic brick walls protecting the secrets of centuries of history and the rafters, like fingerprints, unique and alive, as alive as only natural wood can be. I saw a vision… A lot of work, a lot of heart, and completely non-standard solutions.” – Says author
