Youth Hostel and block development

The renovation of the inner courtyard of the block located in the center of Temesvár, transforming it into a semi-private garden, would create a more atmospheric, quieter, and more usable living environment for the residents. I designed two buildings on the block’s two vacant plots, which serve to filter and oversee access to the area. The smaller one is a vintage boutique. It hides behind the existing classicist wall remnants, peeking out to the street and standing watch. For the larger plot, I designed a youth hostel. Its ground floor functions as a Open-shelf café, connecting with the garden. The building’s structural framework, made of reinforced ceramic, creates a world defined by walls, with its exterior and interior surfaces enriched by playful plasterwork.
