Bucharest, Romania

Text description provided by the architects. This project in Bucharest manages to develop a small collective housing scheme under a minimal budget, proposing a new way of living as well as a new urbanistic approach for a controversial neighborhood. Difficult location and impossible regulations
This project is located close to the central area of Bucharest in a quite problematic context. It is a genuine slum almost unchanged over the years, almost abandoned by the Bucharest’s administration and planners, but located right next to the Plumbuita Park, which has a beautiful lake and an important Orthodox monastery. Since the beginning of the design process, we faced all these conflicting data: a typical dense slum plot, with an (urban?) life that sometimes bursts too intense for what a public space / private space / neighborhood should be, versus the huge potential of an exceptional natural environment. Due to these circumstances, the decisions we took during the design attempted to solve this paradoxical equation.
