House made of recycled precast garages by ABRUPTARHITECTURA is an experimental transformation project of four modular concrete garage units of the 20th century in Bragadiru, Romania. While the structures were previously only used for parking and sheltering , the transformation of 2012 provided housing.
This project contributes to the social-ecological transformation by reusing the prefabricated modules to provide housing space, so the construction of the house consumed fewer resources. Intervention was kept to minimum as only the insulation on the outside, a brick floor and several windows were the only elements that were added to what had already been produced in advance.
