Residential Vodno II

Skopje, North Macedonia

Half a Step

The section is mirrored and the entrance moved half a level, which is the whole difference and is enough to change how the building meets the street. Read on the plan it looks like an efficiency. Walked through, it is the thing that makes the scheme feel considered rather than merely resolved.

The building is a variant of the Vodno type, adjusted for a plot that falls the other way, and it reads that way at a glance. Nothing had to be explained to the people using it.

At this scale, the section is mirrored and the entrance moved half a level, which is the whole difference and is enough to change how the building meets the street. It is the part of the scheme a visitor never remarks on and would notice immediately if it were not there.

“Ask what the project is and the answer is short: a variant of the Vodno type, adjusted for a plot that falls the other way. Keeping it short was the work.”
