SOCIAL HOUSING

Located in the Prater Street 30-32, this building by PLANT - Atelier Peter Kis is a fine example of public housing and integration with its surrounding context while attaining regulatory demands from the municipality. It gives the project and its users a successful solution and pleasant environment to occupy and dwell in. It is evident that the form of the building occurs from close attention to its surrounding blocks. Volumes extrude to occupy the available lot without obstructing the public space and maintaining a scale relationship to its adjacent buildings. In this case, spatial constraints became the opportunity to work closer with what was given. The forms were added to the site rather than clearing out a block or two of the city to make space for something not quite harmonious.
