This single-family home is situated on the outskirts of Ghimbav, one of the fastest-expanding urban settlements near Brașov, on a corner plot. Our vision was to create a two-winged, single-story residence that accommodates the independent lifestyles of parents and their child while fostering a strong sense of unity.
The layout features an L-shaped design where each wing serves distinct functions: one for the parents and the other for the child. These two spaces converge at a welcoming common dining area, promoting family interaction. With both wings and the main courtyard oriented southward, all living spaces enjoy breathtaking views of the Postavaru Mountains, allowing residents to savor the beauty of their natural surroundings.
The architectural approach includes floor-to-ceiling doors and windows throughout, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor environments. A unifying white slabbed roof connects both wings, extending seamlessly to the exterior, which creates a cohesive flow between the living areas and the gardens.
The exterior of the house is clad in natural Agra Red sandstone, lending a warm and inviting aspect that harmonizes with the lush garden that surrounds the property. Inside, spaces are tactically designed to create intimate garden areas that encircle the house, enhancing privacy and tranquility. The main courtyard serves as the heart of the garden, providing a central gathering space for family activities and outdoor enjoyment.
The project exemplifies a family-oriented design that prioritizes both independence and togetherness, all while celebrating the relationship with nature.
