Project description in English
On the northern outskirts of the city of Sibiu, in the area delimited by the streets Ulmului, Fagului, and the railway line, an intervention-response to the disrupted urban context is proposed through the construction of a residential building with a height regime of S+P+3+4R (basement, ground floor, three floors, and a recessed fourth floor).
Taking into account the context of the area characterized by recent constructions with contemporary designs of various heights and volumes, as well as the geometric configuration of the land, a decision was made to erect a simple compact volume, a rectangular prism with balconies around with different depths, adorned with vegetation similar to the surrounding individual residences. In response to the diverse context of the area, the monolithic volume, restrained from both geometric and chromatic perspectives, is subject to gestures oriented towards the functional dimension of the theme, individualizing the object in the context through simplicity.
The diversity of living experiences is reflected both in the spatial and morphological variety of the apartments, as well as in the cardinal orientation and visual relationship with the urban landscape. The flexibility obtained allowed a response to a wide variety of requirements, while maintaining high comfort in a compact volume. Moreover, the apartments on the recessed floor have perimeter opening to large terraces through windows on the entire height of the rooms.
