Collective housing
2014-2015- 2nd semester- 8 weeks
The site is located at the border of an eclectic urban fabric of residential buildings, near the ”curtain” of high-rise residential buildings, a train station and an important bridge from Bucharest. We questioned the actual development of collective housing and tried a different aproach by following a few, simple, but valuable principles: we wanted to free the neighbours off shadow and possible future constraints, a private yard, public spaces, double orientation for the apartments and variety of the dwelling units.

The next step was to follow the rules given by the surroundings and come up with an idea for the actual plan of the unit. We thought of a compact block that contained two apartments, each of it cross-liked shaped and flipped over the other.
Variety consisted in the way we adapted it for the end parts, intersection parts and highest levels.
