*라임스톤 아파트 파사드 [ ADNBA ] MORA apartments

Angled window reveals and balconies interrupt the smooth limestone facade of this apartment building in Bucharest, Romania, by local architects ADNBA.

The MORA Residential Building was designed by ADNBA for a historic neighbourhood in central Bucharest, where architecture from the early 20th century and interwar period is prevalent.

In an effort to emulate the "stature and nobility" of the buildings from these periods, the architects created an apartment block with an imposing scale and facades clad in pale limestone that adds texture to the solid structure.

The uniform cladding is punctuated by a series of windows and balconies. Sharp intersections between the angled walls and the adjacent facades reveal the true thickness of the surfaces.
