Plan de lucru srl was requested to provide front-to-end design for a single family home in Bucharest suburban area.
The brief contained a wide-range of required uses, including 4 bedrooms, office space, generous storage and a laundry room and a garage with a diy workshop area.
To save up on floor space (and diminish construction and maintenance- e.g. heating- costs), we opted for a compact layout with minimal hallway areas, positioning uses not requiring direct sunlight toward the inside.
The economic layout also allowed placing a maximal number of uses at ground-floor level, while meeting restrictive planning regulations capping land coverage at 35%, and generally achieving a design with only two main levels.
