Extension and facade for Hotel Lido in Timisoara

The project is the first resolution of a relatively complicated design issues as location and technique possibility.

The solution itself comes in a varied standpoint volumetric context and the intervention creates besides technical and functional settlement, a new image that changes the current situation into an more uniform look, creating a positive focus for the built environment in the area.

The solution is exemplifying the incisive and with personality positive effect that a correct intervention need to have, in an existing building context. Also curtain facade using a cantilever on the proposed value rather bold and directed towards the center of the intersection of two avenues where it is located, creates a strong visual impact both for pedestrians and for the users of the conference/events hall.

Glazing with a line of dynamic design line continued in volumetric proposed, it is a full-length inner hall, gives users a panoramic view of the urban context and thanks to the project console in wich it is materialized also a perceptual effect of floating above the area.

The project was appreciated locally and passed the preselection solutions participating in Bucharest Architecture Biennale in 2014, featured in the exhibition event and published in its catalog.
