Casa cu veranda

2023

A lovely elegant home created for a lovely couple. The family requested a home in a generous private lot, with lovely and secluded connections to nature.

The design is influenced by the typology of the site, the view, and natural connections to garden.

From an energy efficiency point of view, the house is certified as Nzeb, but it has many Passive house elements, including a thick insulation system, with no thermal bridges, highly efficient windows, installed on the outside of a CLT structure, ventilation system, and a heat pump system

  • Site in an orchard, near Cluj-Napoca

    Main feature of the site that we had to emphasize and create the concept around.

Brief :

  • one of the first discussed criteria. We settled on an Nzeb standard, cost-wise we had to adjust expectations. We incorporated a thick insulation system, with no thermal bridges, highly efficient windows, installed on the outside of a CLT structure, ventilation system, and a heat pump system, all in a well sealed structure.

  • A simple contemporary design, connected to local architecture styles.

  • The site is very generous, and the clients requested a positioning as invisible as possible for the house.

  • The space is connected with the garden to encourage the family to spend as much time outside.

  • A main issue to solve is the complicated bureaucracy, and approvals for a slightly atypical positioning.
