In the further course of the design, it was recommended to combine the mutually adjusted plot T. Kosciuškos g. 32, in Vilnius, inconsistencies between the detailed plan and the construction intensity calculations of the project proposals of the multi-apartment residential complex.

All the experts who participated in the meeting approved the reconstruction of the administrative building Didžioji g. 18, in Vilnius, for raising the roof with notes. Vytautas Biekša refrained - in his opinion, it is a type of roof that remembers its era and should not be changed. Saulius Motieka did not agree - he submitted his opinion in a letter (he did not agree to such a direct transformation of the roof, the existing attic must hide the roof, and the opposite is achieved - it is highlighted).
In the further design process, work on the shape of the skylights, emphasizing their era and searching for details and color solutions. Particular attention should be paid to the solutions of the firewall (old and new), visible from Pilies and Savičius streets.
