Recommendation for Julia,
Urban Context analysis is very important for each project from e very small scale to a big scale. As I could see in the presentation there is immediately an architecture proposal and what it could be understood of it is because of the project description. The deep urban analysis should be always presented in the way, that everybody professional or not could understand perfectly "the whys" of the project. taking a passage of the description: "... Therefore the forms used in the project remind of classical image of a residential house, which was simplified in order to create a more up-to-date view of the facades..." It looks ok written, but should be demonstrated graphically as minimum with the photos of the context, classical local houses that the design is referred with modern simplifications, etc. Is difficult for somebody who is not part of the project to understand and it should be clear for everybody through both description and graphics. The whys of the project should follow the analysis with the presentation of the concept. Why of this urban layout for example in the urban context intervention. There might be many other alternatives for the same context (by competition or not), but why the Jury member or Client should choose this proposal. The project in itself, I would say looks good as it inspired by the classical image of the residential house. Especially if it comes by an attitude (or regulation, but should be demonstrated in the urban analysis or even mention in the description) of the City Hall to maintain a general unified image of the area it will be built.
May be I'm wrong, but the traditional Roof in this building height is not proper to the proportions. In my modest personal opinion should not the building should not exceed 3 floors + roof in this cases. There are similar built cases in Europe and not only, but in proportions the results are not agreeable.
The final graphics should be improved in reference to the international presentations of the similar projects. The global information for this is not missing in the internet era.
I hope, that I have been useful for Julia with my appointments not only for this project, but for her long successful career.
Best
