SD Residencial
“SD Residence” occupies a compact area which is quietly located in a well urbanized neighborhood in the late 70s, on the outskirts of the city of Tetovo. It offers a panoramic view towards the Sharri mountains and exhibits a harmony between design and environment. The design of the building conveys its urban content and context, where white volumes containing different home spaces are assembled to form a structure, divided by several recesses, which are transformed into terraces, where windows are inserted. The stairs, like a wooden sculpture placed in the center of the building, serve as a beautiful architectural element, but also functionally organize the spaces. This design choice represents a mastery in using natural materials and creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere for the residents. The wooden stairs are presented as an axis for vertical circulation around which all spaces are organized. They separate the living room from the apartment on the ground floor, while they intersect the parents’ room with the children’s room as well as the common space on the top floor. “SD Residence” offers an environment that reflect the client’s own life achievements, offering warm shelter for both physical and mental relaxation, with his family and friends. This is a house for a family which consists of three generations living under one roof. Aiming to create accommodation for each generation is clearly read from the cut where the volumes of the different floors represent different content packages.

The segment offered in the urban context is based on simple combination, which aims to explore the dimensions and effects of their combination in different typologies and densities and their possible alternations. Thus, the creation of innovative morphologies of low-density constructions, with new identity and values, in a concrete urban environment has been made possible. This residential project represents a positive contribution to the construction of the urban environment, showing a careful designed vision for architecture and the use of spaces.
