In Poland most commieblocks are already renovated but we have very mixed fealings... People responsible for this works often have no taste and care only about how to cut the heating costs with thermomodernisation.

Some examples from Warsaw:

Luckily commieblocks in Yugoslavia were built with normal quality so only facade reconstruction is needed, without any isolation works.

yeah, that's true :cheers:
I heard that in Poland interior isolation is done very bad, everyone can practically hear you taking a bath or any other action :lol:

^^It's supposed to be related with prefab technology but it's not that bad really, my commie is prefab-brick mix and it's quite ok as long as someone above me doesn't start working with drill so f*ng annoying:bash:

I don't think you really need thermoisolation in your climate:dunno:
Buildings are covered in polystyrene to cut heating costs during winters, it wasn't a problem in the communist times when energy was much cheaper so I don't think it's related with quality. Brutalist style buildings so popular in former Yugoslavia wouldn't work well in our climate (they have no isolation at all unlike panels- it just wasn't enough after '89) so we almost didn't use this style which is sad because I like it very much.

does anyone have pictures whit renovated blocks from Rahova Bucharest?

Here a quick renovation by the mayor just before the election in Bucharest Romania,Rahova.

I like the colors but what I don't like is that they flattened the facade. 3 one on the left is not renovated yet.

they have polystyrene isolation?
if so, is explicable as no firm today make polystyrene whit decorations molds on it.

Yes, thats the main reason for commieblock renovations I guess also some mineral wool for fire-safety issues.

if so, is explicable as no firm today make polystyrene whit decorations molds on it.

Well they did on the yellow one but his white neighbhor is flat for some reason and it was even the same company (afaik) that renovated it so I don't really understand this.

This one looks like Belgrade
and it's among the best renovations with re-created facade etc.
I also really like this two:

...a bit overcomplicated but I like the balconies

Some good renovation work here on these Commies.

I will try and send a few pics from Glasgow when I get a chance as a lot of towerblocks/housing estates are getting re-rendered here and are looking a lot better.

Here are some photos I took earlier today of some large renovated blocks form the south of Glasgow. Hope to photograph some more Glasgow blocks when I get some spare time.

^^Nice, were they thermo-modernized (covered in mineral wool etc.)?
It's kinda weird that they don't have any balconies but afaik it's not a standard in the UK.

Yes I think so. Heat insulation and damp-proofing membrain. These blocks along with many others in Glasgow have been renovated within the last 2 - 3 years.

There are many other small / medium blocks in Glasgow with balconies. I will photograph some of them also and post them on this thread soon.

thanks.

Location is good, but it can't be luxury apartment. My guess is investor payed for renovation and was allowed to build one extra floor on top for own usage.

I really like these Poznan's commies! In my opinion all well renovated commies will be awesome!

Hello.


I like some of these large slab blocks in Poznan, I think they look really well renovated. Very clean lookiing and soem nice use of neutral colours.

Some nice large high rise blocks in there as well.

I did not realise there was so many tall tower blocks in Poznan.

I like the shape of this block , Nice archietechture
Very interesting and quite tall

http://www.wiezowce.katowice.pl/images/gwiazdy10.jpg[/QUOTE]

^^Indeed, even people who dislike commieblocks tend to like them. There are similar towers also in Katowice, based on the same technology but with different balconies called "popcorns (http://mechanofaktura.blogspot.com/2008/11/osiedle-tysiclecia-w-katowicach-cz-4.html)".

I think this would be the best renovation in Poznań. Original colors were recreated after poor renovation in the '90:

It looks like Salmon pink. I think this block would have been better maybe white / light grey with blue balconies as already used.

I have seen worse blocks with horrible lime green and yellow orange.......not good.

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k307/janas81/Poznan/Ogrody/P8120150.jpg[/QUOTE]

These tower block are fairly typical of the colours used in the renovations in Glasgow at the moment

They look a lot better than before.

Of course there are a few other colours used as well.

There have also been a lot of blocks with balconies which have been renovated as well.

Great, i wonder if i ever gonna see that here. And an interesting commie btw, sadly i see you have the same 'car cells' issue around residential areas as we do.

Yep, tell me about it. I can't figure what kinda of morons would like to paint its place like a baribe house. :bash: Too bad we have plenty of 'em around.

Interesting design. I wonder if it is very dark inside these rooms?

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k307/janas81/Poznan/Ogrody/P8120141.jpg

^^Hard to say but they have this "French windows"/semi-balconies so it shouldn't be so dark.

sadly i see you have the same 'car cells' issue around residential areas as we do.


They are not very common, but there are many rather ugly open parkings surrounded by fences and barber wire...

Ujpest is such an eyesore in a beautiful city...IMO Hungarian commieblocks are the closest in design to Soviet ones...

^^I don't think so although this type is rather boring...
http://www.autregiskkt.t-online.hu/commii7.jpg

Did they make some terraces or perhaps community centers on the roof in this one?

^^ I don't know

I must admit that we have nothing special here in terms of commie blocks from the time of communism. These 10 stories prefab boring boxes are the dominant ones.

What makes them bad imo is that they are too tall for that length so they look like some massive walls. Some have even 15 floors and that should have meant separation into several thinner buildings. I don't think that this type of building exceeds 9 floors in Belgrade, so they are not so noticeable because they are behind the trees.

http://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/11680757.jpg

When they were made taller they were separated into several buildings which makes it look a bit more acceptable

http://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/28734415.jpg

Or they would make them in several steps which is less acceptable but still better than a rectangle shape

http://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/41278478.jpg

And those massive tall and lengthy buildings from Budapest remind me of Moscow

What makes them bad imo is that they are too tall for that length so they look like some massive walls. Some have even 15 floors and that should have meant separation into several thinner buildings.
Most of them seem to have about 10 floors which is quite typical, there are similar buildings in Slovakia, Czech rep, Poland etc. those in Moscow are indeed sometimes 16 storey. But I agree they are too wide we sometimes call them meblościanki (http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meblo%C5%9Bcianka) on the Polish forum :yes:

I notice that CE commies has very few or rather small balconies, or no balconies at all, why is that? Although having them is a residential advantage, that method of self 'repairing' we have here for instance often messes up the whole design. Btw Glasgow commies on the last page look really good(except for the blue cladding).

^^Balconies are common and they differ in size, sometimes it's basicaly just a balcony door that leads to nowhere but it was considered modern at the time:
http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae339/filosss2010/DSCF1351.jpg
small balcony type:

etc.

It seems older ones from the '60 tend to have smaller balconies but I think "medium" type is the most common.

I guess it's a climate thing. In Southern Europe it's normal for the whole floor to be encompassed with balconies.

OMG, warsaw is soo beautiful city, I tottaly enjoy that view: http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae339/filosss2010/DSCF1351.jpg ^^

True , actually commies , especially if they aren't chipper ones fit great along side with the modern business highrises. A lot better comparing to the typical US skyline for example where all the talls are situated in the downtown and the surroundings have only low rise structures. Warsaw now sends out very urban atmosphere.

It's great that they are taking good care of the commies in CE, unfortunately people here are more fascinated by the newly postcommie housing buildings that often lack any architecture value and look like poo, although being fancy and expensive. Good news is that there a few undergoing programs for mass refurbishment of commieblocks here , so in a few years local residential could finally dust off their desperate looks and get a fresh face. So I hope there will be plenty of material for that thread soon.

Government programs like in Germany? Quality should be higher this way...

Subsidizing by the government and some EU programs for cutting energy consumption , they haven't started yet though. I doubt the quality will be very high , but then again any program of that kind would be a sensible change.

Sounds like what we have in Poland... It's not really about aesthetics but saving money

in Romania it estimated that it will take 100 years to refurbish all commies blocks at the actual trend.

I think it's actually a stroke of luck that they don't have terraces, because they're usually small, and people tend to want to add the terrace to the apartment. At least in Bulgaria, they tend to have terraces, and would look better if they had flowerpots, but instead people put windows on them and they look pretty bad.

Or they would make them in several steps which is less acceptable but still better than a rectangle shape (Singidunum)

http://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/41278478.jpg

That´s what make X Yugo blocks the coolest ones I think. No flat roofs, no straight walls :D
Up here the majority of commies are "flat and straight" walls and boxes. My favourite commies are the Belgrade steps and the 80ies ones in Split.

sometimes used in parts of commieblocks so it might have been original but I see it's not the case... In fact if you look closely you can see some illegal build-ups (now useless) are still there!

Wow, a whole new district. :nuts:I wish they began to do the same mass-scale renovation in Russia apart of Sochi and to a lesser extent Moscow. Right now, Russian old commies continue rotting. Maybe to the run-up of the WC 2018 and general economic upswing , there will be such nice examples all over Russia. Right now I do envy Poland, but it is a good admiring envy:bowtie: Well done

What i like about Poland reconstruction of commiblocks is that all apartmans have same windows and no closed balconies. In Belgrade we have a big problem with that. Don't know why but people in Belgrade really like to close their balconies with windows. And windows are paitad diferent usually some remain wooden some people put new PVC or ALU windows. And even when building gets reconstrucsted thoes closed balconies and diferent windows remains. Also sooooo much of aircondition units on the fasads :( .

^^In Poland it's not that perfect either you might find some examples like that here and there:

but luckily this heavy old type build-ups you seen in Russia etc. weren't very popular here.

What You think about this? IMHO the left one look better that renovation one. There is major problem in Poland to put candy colours in random pattern on commieblocks, whole neighborhoods are :puke: . Don't go that way.

Be quiet, we won't go that way just because we haven't got money for it :)

^^But actually it's done mostly to save money on heating costs, new color is just a bonus.

Unfortunately, "saving money" in Ukraine mostly means "corruption", however, spending more money on sth also means the same.

^^Interesting that they used some pannels, it's probably more expensive this way although I can't say I like it. Colors are fine but the panels itself seem rather plastic and they have this cheap '90 feel to it and they changed the oruginal project too much for my taste.

Some nice examples from Bytom:

Szkoda, że na Stroszku tak partolą modernizacje, bo ogólnie to z blokowych dzielnic najbezpieczniejsza i chyba najbardziej przyjazna do życia (inna sprawa, że to już prawie Tarnowskie Góry), no ale cóż takie spółdzielnie i wspólnoty, za grosz gustu u "władzy".

Unfortunately it's rare to use white in renovations like that perhaps people think it's cold or reminds them of hospital? I heard many weird opinions about colors and architecture from "common" people, enough to know they shouldn't decide stuff like that :ohno:

I heard enough people saying, to nuke all commies and that they represent a cruelty against mankind. You are a rare species in Poland to care enough and even live in commieblocks. BTW most people in Germany hate the white color on buildings because they are used to associate it with some stuff of modernist architecture and argue that it might stand for some kind of arbitrariness. You know, Germans love everything what is nonuniform and in some special way unique. But I like the white color on commies, looks very elegant and subtle.

Well living in commieblock is not something special in Poland but few people care where they live, I mean things like architecture etc. for most it's enough if the building is clean and only practical things like location matters.

Really? But for some reason you use a lot of white and other "serious" colors in your renovations. In Poland new housing is mostly white and grey + sometimes some stone (at least in bigger cities) but when it comes to renovations we have a lot of ugly "rainbows", white is usually replaced with yellow, original painting scheme ignored etc. :(

Ok, let's start a documentation on a progress of a renovation of a dormitory here in Dresden. In the future I will try to post some pictures of ongoing renovation of this block.

^^ What kind of company is doing such a expensive renovation in Slovakia or does this whole block belong to a housing authority?

PS: I couldn't spot this girl in front of the block as it was promised. When will she arrive?

This owner-occupied block in Utrecht (72 apartments belonging to an equal number of owners) has undergone a renovation consisting of a new energy-saving heating installation, double glass windows, insulation of exterior walls and heat pumps, all this with subsidies from national, provincial and municipal government and according to the last news received the use of gas for heating was cut by ca. 50% in comparison with before the renovation.

whata difference ...yummie :D

Some renovations are nice but it depends on combinations of colours...Here in Košice,Slovakia it is starting to be a problem. If you look on housing development on hillside like Sídlisko Dargovských hrdinov you have mixed feelings...It looks like complex of boxy circuses. Some buildings are well painted,some looks bad and most of them are in original condition...
