The client's requirements: to design a restaurant with a terrace.
Site status: Two abandoned buildings, a former Renel headquarters and an annex with storage spaces and garages. The former Renel headquarters were made up of two buildings belonging to the old Ironworks in Hunedoara, unified by a parasitic construction.
The first step was to identify the original elements of the two industrial buildings and to value them as individual entities. From the beginning, the intention was to intervene minimally, delicately and preserve the specificity and architectural details of the buildings in question. Later interventions and parasitic additions have been eliminated.
The shape, original openings and materials were restored to the original form. On the outline of the former annex we proposed a building with complementary functions. The new building maintains the spirit of the old industrial buildings with apparent brick, but in a modern manner.

The project is located in a collective residential building built before 1990. Originally, the apartment had a classic layout, relatively common, which, after preliminary analysis, proved to be maladjusted in relation to the clients’ needs.

The lines of the terrain and the lines of the house are in contrast, empowering themselves. The house replaces the land it occupies by having a grass roof flooded with local species found in the area, helping it to blend in. The volume is simple and compact, with transparent surfaces arranged in a series of deep cuts, designed and sized based on studies of sunlight and view.
