| DESIGN NAME: Miorita PRIMARY FUNCTION: House INSPIRATION: The lot chosen for the project has a skewed polygonal shape which has inspired the concept of the project. Each level has a unique polygonal shape which makes the building look like a stack of boxes placed on top of each other, rotating and stretching in order to catch the best angles.The sharp angles and the cantilevered terraces make for a dynamic building that integrates into a monotonous urban landscape with an elegant yet daring contrast of form and material. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Miorita is a residential project that got its name from the street it stands on. It is a 3 storey residential building with a comercial ground level and 2 residential levels that host 3 apartment units. It has panoramic windows and a contrasting bright, warm timber cladding facade with dark ceramo-granite tiles. The sharp angles and the cantilevered terraces make for a dynamic building that integrates into a urban landscape with an elegant yet daring contrast of form and material. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The comercial spaces can be accessed directly from the street, while the acces to the residential levels is made from the interior courtyard. The placement of the neighbouring building directly on the edge of the lot has determined the choice to cover the windows that overlook the inner courtyard with shutters made from the same timber which cover the facade for privacy. The inner courtyard, has a buffer role and provides additional visual and sound barriers for the residents of both neighbouring properties. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project has started in november 2021 in Chisinau, went through approval by local administration, and is currently beggining its construction phase (march 2022). FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The building has a concrete monolithic structure, brick outer walls as well as partition walls. The shape of the building is partially obtained by the additional steel structure used to support the ventilated facade systems. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Lot area - 609 sqm, comercial area - 160 sqm, residential area - 550 sqm, underground parking capacity - 6 cars, paving and landscaping - 625 sqm. TAGS: apartment units, housing, dynamic architecture, timber facade, ceramo granite, sharp angles, perspective RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The limitations imposed, from local administration, due to the complex morphology of the structure and the design challenges that it poses have influenced the design and made it more organic. A lot of research has been done to choose the right facade material and the convenient structure to create the sharp angles of the window openings. CHALLENGE: Overall Miorita residence is a project that aims to elevate the standarts of living not only functionally but conceptually and aesthetically. It combines technology and design and creates its own urban context, making it the center of attention due to its dynamic design.
