HOUSE 4

House 4 is the personal home of an architect couple, built on a narrow 240 sqm plot in Cluj-Napoca, between residential and industrial zones. The project involved extending and adding levels to an existing structure, blending the area’s industrial memory with a contemporary, efficient design. Clad in metal with large, strategic windows, the house maximizes space and light, creating a seamless flow between interior and exterior. Inside, minimalist finishes, exposed concrete, and natural textures form a warm, modern atmosphere. The home’s design encourages family interaction and serves as a testing ground for innovative systems. Completed in 2022, House 4 has become a local architectural reference, inspiring neighbors and students alike. More than a home, it represents the couple’s vision of how architecture can be personal, functional, and rooted in place—even on a narrow lot.
