Apartment building on Calderon Street

The project’s configuration aims to understand and be mindful of the area’s architectural standard, searching for a specific character defined by sobriety and temperance, while seeking to elegantly and discreetly take its place in front of Gradina Icoanei Park and between the neighbouring buildings.Placed within a continuous street front, the building steps back from the alignment, thus allowing for a more generous opening of the street towards G.M. Cantacuzino square and enlarging the pedestrian flow. Moreover, the setback highlights the elegant neighbouring facade.The rooms’ deep window frames allow for gradual filtering of the connection between the interior and the outdoor space. The journey from the public space towards each apartment is sequential, marked by changes in materialities.
