A very important and useful decision of this neighbourhood design is the layout of pedestrian paths and rest zones above the parking spaces. Ventilated parking areas make it possible to preserve a clean environment in the centre of the city. Courtyards of the residential estate are free of any noise of car engines and security alarms.
The new construction estate is pleasant to the eye for its functionally planned and tastefully-arranged surroundings, broad pavements and bicycle and roller-skate paths, small pedestrian bridges, lawns, recreation zones, and small architectural forms, which all form a harmony. Residents can have a rest and a chat. From the sixth floor upward, there is a beautiful view to Kuršių marios (the Curonian Lagoon), Neringa and the Baltic Sea.
Innovative, stylish architecture predominates in Gandrališkės. The new living estate was built in stages (new construction was split into 11 stages) to ensure peacefulness, comfort and a healthy environment for its future residents.
