MARe
MUSEUM



Status: Built
Year: 2018
Location: Bucharest, Romania
Built area: 1.600 sqm
Concept: Youssef Tohme Architects&Associates
Budget: 1.5 mil euro
Partner in charge: arch. Liviu Zăgan, arch. Costin Beekman
Team:  arch. Alexandra Nicolau

MARe - the Museum of Recent Art - is intended as an incubator for vernacular visual culture, both a platform for rethinking recent Romanian art, and a panorama of the local art scene of the past decades.






 The project consists of adding one floor to the historic building, thus highlighting part of the city’s pre-Communist heritage, and opening the museum toward the surrounding city. The 4m ceiling height on the ground floor is emphasized to create a public space. 

The actual process consists of demolishing the original brick structure and then rebuilding it in black concrete. Decorations and details of the original building are cast in concrete and used in the new structure.

Swisôtel Poiana Brasov is officially open

Eliza Yokina and Cumulus team vision for the design is to bring Transylvanian interiors into the present day:  „To embrace an identity that already exist and to bring into guests experience a connection with it – was one of the main pillars of our design approach. It is not only about what you see but also what you feel and about the connection with a certain culture and tradition in Transilvania, about valuing what we have.”
