Project overview
The building in Corbeanca is a single-family dwelling, placed on the lakeshore, which in antithesis to the irregular shape of the site, indicates a cartesian, regulated architecture with a definite rhythm of the facade generated by the equal distance between the pillars. With the use of material (glued laminated timber), the project blends into the context, appearing sober, neutral, carefully orchestrated and functionally resolved in relation to the natural landscape-the lake. Cost data: 513000€+VAT.
Project history
Located on the shores of Lake Laguna Albastra, near Bucharest, the house embodies a rationalist vision with its rhythmic facade and geometric layout, in contrast with the natural form of the surrounding environment. The glued laminated timber pillars form a colonnade around the perimeter, playing a structural role and being the only vertical resistance elements. Covering two levels above ground and a partially basement floor, the interior design defies convention, with living areas on the first floor and bedrooms below. A terrace extends the kitchen-dining connection down to the lake. Exposed ceilings highlight structural integrity, and transparent windows enhance the aesthetic. Large glass openings on the lake-facing side emphasize the visual connection to nature. The barbecue area follows the overall concept. The client’s trust in the architect’s expertise, resulting in a seamlessly integrated building that harmonizes with its surroundings, providing both cleanliness and order.
