Rehabilitation of the Slovak Embassy building

Authors’ Comment

The house was built around 1921 and represents the French academic eclecticism style, like most examples of civil architecture from Bucharest at the end of the 19th century.
The project consists in a rehabilitation and consolidation intervention aiming to preserve the architectural image. In this idea, some of the elements considered valuable both inside and outside were preserved.
New proposal keeps the building intact, while the plans are partially preserved, adapting to the new requirements.
On the ground floor and first floor there are offices, at the attic 2 apartments, a studio and a three-room apartment.
Service space such as storage area, laundry room and boiler room are located in the mezzanine.
In an attempt to preserve as much of the original character of the house, the construction techniques and the materials used were as traditional as possible.
