Status Feasibility Study

Scheme description
Mamaia is one of the three schemes, which Formation Architects has been designing for Westhouse Group as part of the residential developments in Romania. Located on a strip of land which faces a Lake to the West and the Black Sea to the East, Mamaia will offer fantastic views and direct access to the beach to all residents.

With the aim to create an all year round destination, the development will incorporate not only private residential use but also public leisure facilities such as an indoor waterworld, cinemas, spa, bars, restaurants, cafes and some retail which will be located at the heart of the site.

Framing the central public area there will be two plinths housing the car parking, cinemas and some retail. Above the plinths there will be the residential towers with garden roof terraces at the top. The orientation of the towers is such to maximise the natural light to the apartments as well as the views to the Lake and the Black Sea. The car parking will be accessible from North and South sides of the site minimising vehicle circulation within the site.
