Architectural Decisions

Lilo is a typical post-soviet district, with very look-alike box-type buildings that are very common on post-soviet territories. Here you will also see many very interesting but illogical architectural decisions. It’s the heritage of the gloomy 90s when locals reimagined themselves as professional architects and increased the sizes of their apartments by adding balconies or even attaching whole new rooms to the already established design. It’s truly the most dangerous DIY projects but certainly, they add character to Lilo.
