Old Houses of Lithuania is the long-term documentary project capturing the vanishing soul of rural Lithuania.

Since 2006, Old Houses of Lithuania has been a quiet, continuous journey through the shifting landscapes of the Lithuanian countryside. What began as a personal fascination with aging wooden architecture has evolved into a two-decade-long visual archive.

Working exclusively with film photography, this project captures the honest, unvarnished grace of abandoned and decaying homes before they disappear entirely into the earth or memory. Every frame is a time capsule—preserving the rich textures of sun-bleached timber, overgrown gardens, and the lingering presence of generations past. This is not just a documentation of architecture; it is a visual monument to a disappearing world.

Landscapes

This section contextualizes traditional Lithuanian wooden structures within their regional surroundings. The photographs examine the spatial relationship between human architecture and the natural environment, documenting how these heritage sites integrate into the rural landscape across different seasons.

Fragments

Macro-photography focused on the architectural anatomy and physical textures of the buildings. This category serves as a visual record of material aging, isolating specific technical details such as historical joinery, weathered timber surfaces, and the natural erosion of building materials over time.

Objects

This section treats individual wooden houses as singular objects of architectural study. Utilizing full-plan, comprehensive compositions, each photograph isolates the entire structure to document its overall volume, scale, and morphology. This systematic framework serves as a formal typological record, presenting each house as a standalone monument within the landscape.

Whereabouts

A broader look at the topography of this two-decade documentation project. This gallery charts the environmental placement and physical distribution of the surveyed structures, mapping the diverse typologies of wooden architecture across various regions of Lithuania.
