New Vision of the Loft — Architectural Competition
Poland
Organizers:
Fakro & A10
The aim of the competition was to design an innovative interpretation of the loft space, using specified products of Fakro – a roof-windows manufacturer.
In accordance with the current trends, the project is in pursuit of more habitable space in the cities. It is focused on the Dianabad housing estate – a highly desirable residential area in Sofia, Bulgaria. Developed in the 70-ties, it is predominantly built with eight-storeys-high blocks of slabs with flat roofs. The aim is to reclaim the unused rooftops and invest them with residential functions via a number of new lofts. Thus new housing for more than 300 families will be provided.
