2019 // Recul Space
Recul is an independent theater that produces improvisation of long form, sketch and drama. The Recul Space project, developed in partnership with Calup, transforms a former unused industrial hall from the Old Cotton Factory into a creative 830 sqm hub. The space houses a 140 people theatre, as well as flexible spaces for workshops, courses, events and a café bar.
The design & build process involved uncovering the concrete structure, rehabilitation of the metallic carpentry, mosaic flooring and the complete change of the facilities. A curtain network allows flexible partitioning, bringing a significant contribution to the thermal and sound efficiency of the space, while the metal theater stand and bar structure is the only constructed intervention.
Recul Space brings new breath and a cultural edge to the creative platform of the Old Cotton Industry and an important urban regeneration project for Bucharest.
