Duplex dwellings, Bucharest S1

On the footprint of an old house in the area of the Plevnei path of Bucharest, on a parcel of 220 sqm, the project of two duplex small print housing and vertically developed proposes a contemporary alternative to addressing traditional and crusted urban tissue, Significant release of the court’s level and setting up a clean and merged built volume at Nordic and Eastern Calcanele, supported on some constructive elements of the old building on the ground floor.

As a reminder of the old construction, the portal of the first house remained, but stripped of its original usefulness.  The higher volume is fragmented from place to place by the formats that harmoniously complement the game of the façade windows, respecting the italic and rigorous drawing of the tire folds.

The entire design approach meant close negotiation between the needs of the beneficiaries, on the one hand, the constraints of a fairly small batch, with two Calcane, and the necessity of granting a right of servitude to crossing the building in the posterior area.
