Palatul paradoxal din Piața Lahovari: primul bloc de locuințe sociale din București, construit pentru bogați

In the late 1920s, a unique social housing block was built in Bucharest, designed for wealthy residents rather than the intended low-income families. Known as the CAM block-house, it featured modern amenities like central heating and elevators, making it a revolutionary structure for its time. This neoromanian style building housed 70 families and 15 single officials, showcasing luxury finishes and a grand design. It stood out among the modernist buildings of the era, symbolizing a blend of social housing and elite living.
