Studio3+ redesigned a derelict building, which was saved from demolition by the fall of communism. The project worked with the existing as a source of material and structure, responsibly using the existing resources, whilst adjusting the spaces to contemporary standards of living. Located at the end of a blind alley, the building embodies the spirit of the Bucharest urban house. The three apartments are home to an extended family, with a small common office space in the basement. The new configuration of the facade allows more light inside and opens up the building to the old oak facing the plot.
