A flat land, square shaped and balanced dimensions, a young family with two school-age children and a beautiful dream, to always feel in the middle of nature, flooded throughout the day by the sun’s rays. The realized project becomes a functional and aesthetic transposition of the real wishes and needs of the beneficiaries, in a modern architectural interpretation of the contemporary Romanian specific
The home was designed on a single level, with generous glass surfaces in the living area, in a game of visual interlacing of the interior space with the outdoor terrace, and direct access to the garden, thus answering the basic requests of the beneficiary family.
The access to the house, centrally located, is protected and signaled on the main facade by gardeners with climbing vegetation and minimalist decorative elements, which can be found on two other sides of the house, being used at the closing of the terrace and the visual delimitation of the secondary access.
Modern housing needs have generated a concept of housing compartmentalization in two main areas of interest, generically called day and night, arranged almost symmetrically to the central axis of the house, completely delimited and independent as practical utility.
The functional thus designed invites us from the reception hall to either of the two reference areas, the interior habitat being separated from the front access by this buffer vestibule. The main circulation of the users through the house is strictly restricted in the central area, so that all the functions remain unified, without having to cross them unnecessarily.
The interior partitioning is the result of the real analysis of the daily activities of the beneficiaries, including both generous technical and storage spaces, for food, clothing and linen, bathrooms, laundry, the room of the boiler and the warehouse for equipment and tools, as well as rooms for either spending time together with family and friends, or relaxing and studying in individual bedrooms. The dining room and the living room have become the most privileged space of the house, being able to be extended in the hot season outside, the generous terrace, with direct access, being specially designed for this purpose.
The architecture designed for the users can only be conceived from the inside to the outside, the priority being the optimization of a functional one adapted to the specific of each family, according to their daily activities and their hobbies, and, why not, transforming in reality the dream that was the basis of the project. The outer shape has the role of harmoniously dressing the interior partition in architectural elements and decorative details, with the help of which the whole ensemble acquires the architect’s personality, combined with the uniqueness of the beneficiaries.
