While travelling through Lithuania I kept seeing this kind of asymmetrical architecture. They all seemed to be from late 19- early 20th 20th early 21st century and generally all over the place design wise. This one was in Birštonas and a bunch of them were in Klaipeda too. But I can't find anything online.
Does this have any kind of name or something that would allow me to find more examples?
It's definitely not from the 19th century. More like 1980s... Late soviet modernism. They were primarily built in recreational areas (Palanga, Šventoji, Birštonas)
Ne, yra toks terminas, bet jis reiškia 90'ųjų pilaites iš silikatinių plytų, bent 500 kvadarinių metrų ploto, dažnai su bokšteliais, gargulijom ar portikais. Google it!
Kolūkinis barokas yra meminis satyrinis terminas iš FB puslapio, o ne akademinė sąvoka. Modernizmas pagal kategoriją nėra kolūkinis barokas. Google it, zoomeri!
There is no one specific style. The first example is quite typical of the 70s to 80s recreational architecture found in summer camps. It is inspired by the critical regionalism architecture prevalent in Europe during that era. Local architects of the time were copying Finnish and Scandinavian stylistic choices.
The second example is a typical small summer house found across hundreds of garden communities in the country. Most similar to the mid century modernist style of the 50s to 70s.
I didn't notice but similar motives are very common in Lithuania, albeit vanishing since those buildings are not up to modern standarts and often neglected.
