Nestled in a prime location in Brașov, between the old and new city centers, this project is positioned within an area where early 20th-century urban fabric converges with newer communist era developments. This transitional zone showcases a rich diversity, featuring a mix of building typologies, ranging from one-story houses to a five-story collective housing building.
Our building serves as a thoughtful insertion within this varied context, designed to foster maximum intimacy between neighboring structures. Despite the small plot size of approximately 1,800 sqm, we made significant efforts to preserve a 40-meter fir tree and other important vegetation to enhance privacy and enrich the character of the proposed courtyards. Careful planning of the building’s setbacks ensures courtyards that face the neighbors, promoting a comfortable distance and enhancing privacy. Additionally, all parking spaces are situated underground, allowing for unperturbed green spaces and courtyards free from the intrusion of cars. The upper floors of the building are set back in accordance with local urban regulations, providing residents with panoramic views and generous terraces overlooking Tampa Mountain and the historical city center.
At street level, the building presents an unobtrusive profile, featuring a semi-private courtyard that softly invites residents and visitors alike. The façades reflect the rhythm, style, and materiality of the surrounding architecture, creating a cohesive visual dialogue with the neighborhood.
The first three floors primarily offer one- and two-bedroom apartments, while the upper levels include spacious two- and three-bedroom duplex apartments and penthouses, all featuring expansive terraces. In total, the building comprises 42 carefully designed units, making it a harmonious addition to the urban landscape that prioritizes both community interaction and individual comfort.
