On the northern side, the passage spreads into an open public space towards Gediminas Avenue. This central part is like a gateway to the whole complex with its central public space covered with a light and graceful roof.
The facade construction materiality consists of a facade system of glass-aluminium structures with natural stone plates and aluminium composite hinges.
