Description
This real architectural gem part of the historic woven of the city is signed by Architect Radu Culcer. Initially, the residence of the reputable lawyer and Law Professor Mihail Pascanu, the property from 53, Carol I Boulevard has been through a life full of changes. During the interwar period, the property hosted the Embassy of Turkey, and once nationalised it has been adapted to the new social environment and was the address of the Unions’ House. Starting from 1954, the social and economic conditions of the times have determined the conversion of the building into a condominium, being fragmented into apartments. Currently, the total area of approximately 1,000 sqm of the building on four levels includes the space where creativity activities are taking place – architecture, decorative arts, painting and silk-screen printing, theater, music. Under the poplar form the courtyard, the atmosphere is animated by various shows, cinema events, hand-made fairs and musical events. Inside, the exposed bricks, the elaborated wood paneling, the wooden staircase and the baroque coffered ceiling contribute to the timeless charm of the space, reminding of the old time prestige of the place, but, in the same time, being a source of inspiration for the potential of the property. Embodying the vibrant spirit of the downtown, the space is versatile and can be converted into both a cultural centre, a space with commercial functions for those who want a central address or even a residence for those looking to stay connected to the urban life of the heart the city.
