One of PPAE's first large projects, in the early 2010s — a substantial residential complex on Valea Cricovului St., in District 6. Three sections, a B+G+7F regime and about 25,000 sqm built, developed by Top Building Corporation on a plot of around 5,000 sqm. The central theme: high density and making the most of the parcel. PPAE acted as General Designer.

Challenges

On an ample plot, but with urban-planning indices to respect, the aim was to obtain as many quality apartments as possible, with the associated parking, without exceeding the rules of the area. Three sections had to be organised as a coherent complex — with accesses, circulation and a unified image — under conditions of high density.

Solutions

PPAE structured the complex into three sections, making the most of the coefficients permitted on this parcel. The apartments were arranged efficiently on each section, with parking resolved in the basement and at ground level, and the existing transformer station was kept and integrated. The result: a significant built volume, well organised, extracted from a plot used almost in full.

Result

For the developer, a large-scale residential complex that extracts maximum value from the plot. For PPAE, an early benchmark of scale — one of the first proofs that the office can coordinate large, dense residential projects, from concept to completion.
