This structure, located in the residential area of Bucharest, was built as a private villa in 1939 and is considered a historic building. The project consists of adding one floor to the existing structure, thus highlighting part of the city’s pre-Communist heritage, and opening the museum toward the surrounding city. The four-meter ceiling height on the ground floor is emphasized to create a public space that will also encourage contact with the city. The actual process consists of demolishing the original brick structure and then rebuilding it in black concrete.
