Set on a former farm in the periphery of Brașov, this ambitious housing development spans 90,000 sqm and will feature 27 collective housing and mixed use buildings, accommodating over 700 housing units. Given the scale of the project, which is comparable to an entire neighborhood, and its distance from the city’s amenities, the development is designed to include a comprehensive range of essential facilities. Residents will benefit from on-site amenities such as a kindergarten, a school, a supermarket, and various commercial and office spaces, fostering a self-sufficient community.
The central goal of this project is to minimize the reliance on personal cars in the design of a new neighborhood. Streets and parking spaces are distributed around the perimeter, ensuring that residents can access their apartments without lengthy walks. This strategic planning allows us to liberate substantial space, transforming it into a vast, inviting park. The housing units are seamlessly integrated into this expansive green space, which boasts generous planting and gardens between the buildings. Despite the close proximity of the units, the lush vegetation provides ample privacy and a sense of tranquility.
At the heart of the development lies a large-scale park, complete with a picturesque lake. Throughout the neighborhood, smaller parks are equipped with playgrounds and outdoor sports facilities, promoting active lifestyles and community interaction.
The residential buildings will be medium-rise, standing at 4 to 5 stories tall, featuring simple and cost-efficient facades. Savings from the use of straightforward materials will be reinvested into the design of the green spaces.
This project represents a new approach in Brașov, where traditional developments often prioritize personal vehicles. By creating a neighborhood where cars do not dictate the layout, we are setting a new standard for community living that emphasizes sustainability, accessibility, and harmonious interaction with nature.
