“MAJ Townhouses”

Maj townhouses were created as a kind of experiment on the subject of housing. Within the urban unconsolidated perimeter of the city of Poreč, the project brief initially envisioned a standard residential building with commercial apartments. A residential building is characterized as a row of ten separate houses with their own gardens and atriums, rethinking the environment in which various typologies such as family homes, vacation homes, and residential buildings mix. In this way, one building becomes a new neighborhood in itself, where residents have access to their own garden or atrium, which contributes to the feeling of personal space and enables outdoor activities within a private environment.

In addition to typology, special attention was paid to color in order to clearly communicate the number of residential units to the outside. The tones are a paraphrase of Istrian plasters with the idea of ​​quality “aging” of the facade in the Istrian sun and change in intensity over the years.

The residential units themselves have a compact floor plan, on the ground floor there are living spaces with connections to the garden/atrium, while the bedrooms are located on the first floor.
