Carrefour is also planning to continue the expansion with a hypermarket in Botosani in October this year.

The shopping park, which aims to become the biggest in Europe, according to its developers, with a total area of 190,000 sqm when finalized, is located on Chitila St. in Bucharest. The total investment in the shopping center project is of EUR 350 million.

The first phase of the project, the 53,000 sqm retail park, will include the Carrefour unit, an Altex store, as well as the first Leroy Merlin do-it-yourself store in Romania. The developers of the project, Nova Imobiliare, plan a second stage of the project, of 137,000 sqm, with a shopping mall, food court, cinema, which should be ready in 2013. The project will feature underground car infrastructure and dedicated bus and tram lines, according to Panico Panayi, director of Nova Imobiliare.

The first phase will consist in the construction of the retail park and will be completed in 2014.

Apartment Building on G.Călinescu Street / Westfourth Architecture

Architects: Westfourth Architecture
Location: Bucharest, Romania
Design Team: Vlad Arsene, Călin Negoescu, Zzing Lee, Sînziana Nicolae, Alexandru Cutelecu
Envelope Consultant: Aludesign
Structural Engineer: Popp şi Asociaţii
Mechanical Engineering: Air Control Systems
Project Year: 2009
Project Area: 3,000 sqm
Photographs: Andrei Mărgulescu

This 5 story apartment building is located in the Dorobanţi section of Bucharest, Romania.. This area became in recent years a fashionable district, full of cafes and upper scale boutiques, and a number of high end apartment buildings were built next to the existing residential structures that define the traditional urban fabric.

The apartment building presented here, is an insertion in this rather dense residential fabric, consisting in 4 and 5 levels buildings, raised mostly in the 50′s and 60′s.

The building, confined to the zoning envelope, is configured as a linear structure, having the narrow northern façade, fronting the G. Călinescu Street, while the southern end of the building is facing the dead ended Aricescu Street. The rest of the building constitutes a “book end” to the row of double residential lots on the East and is almost hidden behind the buildings that line up along the Beller Street, the main thoroughfare in the neighborhood.

Facing the back of close surrounding structures, the building closes into itself by limiting the size and number of its widows on its long western and eastern facades. While reducing the size of the openings, the design allows each apartment to have exposures on two elevations, and this way to be able to receive plenty of daylight. The two core configuration service two one bedroom apartments each per floor and facilitate the presence of two exterior walls in each living room.

The openings to two different exposures will permit the owners to experience the sunlight’s daily progression in each apartment. The penthouse floor’s two apartments are surrounded by a wrap around terrace. On the ground floor, a linear lobby constitutes a spine that allows entries on both ends, at G. Călinescu and Aricescu Streets. The small courtyard set between the cores facilitates daylight penetration in the central section of the elongated ground floor lobby. A glass enclosed six cars garage, a shop and the ramp to the underground parking occupy the western end of the building’s footprint.

Some nice projects but overall needs more construction as well as more bright coloured developments. I noticed a lot of projects are "gloomy"
