Selected projects

single fammily housing, Bucharest

This project is a rehabilitation, vertical extension, and modernisation of an existing structure on a small parcel right in the midst of a city block. Surrounded by a distinctly defined urban context, the design aims to maximise the limited footprint whilst introducing more light, openness, and functionality into the home.

At ground storey level, the layout merges the living, dining, and kitchen areas into one continuous “day zone,” ensuring fluid circulation and allowing natural light to permeate the space. A compact guest bedroom on this level provides both privacy and convenience. Above, the loft-level principal bedroom benefits from a rooflight and minimalist finishes, creating a calming retreat that feels cosy yet spacious.

Modern touches—such as simple black pendant luminaires and light timber finishes—harmonise with the neutral colour palette to maintain a bright, inviting ambience. Externally, a small terrace and seating area extend the living spaces outdoors, encouraging relaxation. Overall, the project successfully transforms an existing building into a contemporary home that balances comfort, style, and efficient use of space.

Architectural solutions for Urban food-market, Eforie Nord

The concept behind the solution is as simple to implement as it is effective. The two main aspects that we focused on were, first of all, to become a visible location from the main street, a welcoming one that would highlight the character of services and trade, with a buffer zone with a special architectural proposal that protects the products in the windows from ultraviolet rays, and therefore from their degradation, but also a lighted space, which on the insert attracts the attention of passers-by. Secondly, the ease of the project, the speed and minimal costs, together with the possibility of applying the solution to the nearby building, the Pensioners' Club. Inside the proposed complex, protected by the perimeter buildings, there is a leisure and relaxation area, ideal for rest and leisure in the short term.

From a construction point of view, the stone fiber is based on basalt, which is transformed into a fibrous material and pressed into façade panels in the form of mineral wool. Then a coating. Stone fiber panels are robust but flexible. They are easy to machine, bend and even shape in three dimensions. The applied coating is available in a wide range of colors and patterns.

Wind and thermal effects due to heating create air circulation in the ventilation space. This circulation transports moisture out of the ventilation space caused by diffusion water vapour or driving rain. Separation of supporting and enclosing wall functions from the functions of weather protection and thermal insulation with an intermediate zone of ventilation is a highly effective design in terms of the physical aspects of the structure.

Mountain Single-family Dwelling with office space, Sighișoara

This Mountain Single-Family Dwelling with integrated office space, located in Sighișoara, is artfully conceived to negotiate a steep 30% gradient. The design comprises two distinct volumes that step down the site, ensuring a harmonious blend with the surrounding topography. At street level, the upper volume accommodates an office that is readily accessible to visitors without impinging on the privacy of the residence below. This entry level not only provides a clear public-facing function but also acts as a transitional zone, guiding occupants down through the building and the terrain. A carefully placed internal staircase leads to a partially subterranean storey, where two bedrooms and a kitchen are discreetly tucked into the hillside, optimising space while minimising the building’s visual impact on the scenic landscape.

Continuing at the partial -1 level, the dining area commands a view over a spacious living zone and “day area” situated further down, creating a layered spatial experience. At the rear, a separate volume—accessed by a covered walkway—houses a summer kitchen and grill area for al fresco gatherings, enhancing the home’s recreational potential. Throughout both volumes, ample glazing and strategically oriented windows capture natural light and frame views of the mountains, ensuring that even the partially buried spaces feel bright and welcoming. By following the site’s natural contours, the architecture integrates seamlessly into the sloped terrain, while retaining a strong, contemporary identity. This approach leverages the steep gradient not only for dramatic visual effect, but also to facilitate circulation around the property, effectively tying together office, family life, and outdoor enjoyment in a cohesive and functional arrangement.

Design of the entrances to the city, Caracal

For the main entrance from Slatina the idea behind the concept is revising the relationship between old and new. We decided it was right not to forget our past, which was reinforced to us by our discussion with representatives of the municipality, as such we did not consider appropriate to demolish the monument, but rather to include it in a new proposal.

We chose to keep the symbol of the steps that are already part of the existing monument and proposed a staircase surrounding it reaching a generous height of 6 meters. From that point people can make unique photographic memories, and it can become an attraction for those in transit, wanting to stop for a few minutes. The proposed staircase, in antithesis to the existing one, suggests the permanent evolution of Caracal and its rising importance both for the locals and the country. As we walk this route vertically towards the end point, at the highest point, on the left side we will find both important historical scenes and names of personalities who marked the existence and development of Caracal. Thus, no matter how high this town goes, step by step, step by step, it will never forget its past and the lessons it has taught us, and the proposed design captures this aspect.
