Construction La Résidance
Construction works on the La RésiDance project have started. On January the 1st 2008 the contractors began to prepare the site for the construction of the first 4 buildings. The buildings, called Corona look like mountain chalets. The structure is made up of poured concrete and load bearing red bricks, finished with timber and rigips facades and timber sloped roofs give the building their picturesque appearance.
The construction started off in the harsh Carpathian winter, workers had to deal with temperatures down to -20 degrees Celcius. The first weeks the site was covered with snow and ice and the ground was frozen. Nevertheless, the construction progress went on very fast. In just four weeks the foundation for the first two blocks was finalized, the first slab was poured half February.
The Holland Development team visits the site once a week to see if things are going well. Right now, the construction of the first building reached the second floor. You can see the plans becoming reality made of stone, timber, steel, plastics and ceramics. In one year people will move in and live their lives, this is history in the making!
