Phoenix Aparthotel is located in the historical center of Galați, within a protected heritage area. The urban fabric is fragmented, resulting from successive stages of street network definition, spontaneous reconstruction, and urban regulation-based developments. The area contains the majority of Galați’s architectural monuments of high historical and memorial value, now adapted to various contemporary uses. Phoenix Aparthotel breaks down massivity, sliding for a superior lateral viewing angle, and reinterprets the roof slope, all in line with the concept of living in the background.
