General Plan

Object:
The location of the object is the airspace formed by the blind ends of the ten-story panel buildings of the QP-71 series. Integrating into existing buildings line, the building aligns with the line of their facades, or protrudes slightly outward, forming stronger corner accent.
Interaction with parent structure:
Aligning with the surface of existing blocks, the building does not generate any effect on the eco-climatic parameters of the neighboring dwellings, such as insolation or natural air circulation. The basement floor of the building does not completely occupy the perimeter of the upper floors, leaving free access to the courtyard of the existing complex, vast enough for normal circulation and passage of emergency vehicles.
Urban impact:
Being a kind of distinct element in relation to the surrounding developments, the building creates an eye-catching accent, breaking the monotony of the parental 150 - 190 meters long blocks and consolidating them into a more recognizable unified complex.
Typical floor:
Layout combines 2 options for a typical floor:

• two 3-room apartments + studio apartment. (floors 1-6)
• two 4-room apartments. (floors 7-10)

Finishings:
Considering the limited floor area, as well as two blind facades, and, consequently, the impossibility of differentiated apartments orientation with through ventilation for a part of apartments; the intention was to provide the maximum for the natural lighting and air access, using large terraces and enlarged windows openings. The privacy issue and protection from the excessive solar activity are solved by using semi-transparent shading screens. In this case, 5 mm bending resistant and overheating resistant perforated aluminum panels.
