Casa ca subiect de carte
The house as a book subject
O prefa]`, c` de-aia se cheam` a[a, ar trebui s` ajute
la n]elegerea c`r]ii pe care o precede, oferind o serie
de explica]ii, poate planul lucr`rii, poate anumite refe-
rin]e critice etc. A[a ar fi frumos [i, f`r` ndoial`, util.
V` m`rturisesc ns` c` nu am de gnd s` fac asta, sau
nu mai mult dect a v` spune c` al [aselea volum din
colec]ia igloobest dedicat caselor romne[ti propune
o selec]ie de 16 proiecte, fiecare pozat pe toate p`r]ile
[i nso]it de planuri [i de propriul text de prezentare.
Ce mi-ar pl`cea mai degrab` s` observ aici este sta-
tutul casei ca subiect de carte. B`nuiesc c` fiecare va
fi observat c` fenomenul c`r]ilor selec]ia de subiec-
te ale c`r]ilor decupaje dup` criterii de familie a luat
un avnt serios n ultima vreme. Construc]ii sau ma-
[ini, obiecte de tot felul, de la arme de foc la [ireturi,
pui de animale sau tatuaje etc. etc., practic orice se
poate constitui ntr-o serie devine carte. Cred c` e
greu de g`sit vreun tip de produs al creativit`]ii uma-
ne care s` nu aib`, pe la vreo editur`, un album-se-
lec]ie dedicat. Probabil c` fenomenul ]ine n egal` m`-
sur` de interesul comercial, dar [i de un soi de manie
(de colec]ionar) a sistematiz`rii [i organiz`rii unei lumi
tot mai complexe [i mai dense n termeni de produse
fabricate. Dincolo de teorie, fapt este c` nu mai putem
face abstrac]ie de acest mod de ambalare a efectelor
creativit`]ii umane. Iar cum casele reprezint` unul din-
tre produsele importante rezultate din procese de
crea]ie, este, nu-i a[a?, firesc ca ele s` [i aib` propria
familie de c`r]i n care s` se reg`seasc`, semipre-
parate, gata metabolizate pentru consumul mai mult
sau mai pu]in specializat. M` bucur c` suntem noi cei
care facem asta n Romnia, c`ci mi se pare impor-
tant` existen]a unei selec]ii autohtone de arhitectur`
domestic`, adresat` att speciali[tilor, ct [i celor mai
pu]in antrena]i, fie [i numai pentru folosul imediat al
unora care [i caut` inspira]ia, dac` nu pentru a docu-
menta, n timp, fenomenul. Din nefericire, oferta nc`
numeric redus` de subiecte de calitate nu ne-a per-
mis deocamdat` [i subclase ale locuin]ei (dup` mate-
rialele folosite, suprafe]e sau alte criterii), dar m`
a[tept ca n viitorul apropiat s` ajungem [i acolo.
ntrebarea cu care m` despart de voi (la care nu am
g`sit nc` un r`spuns mul]umitor) [i n cheia c`reia v`
invit s` parcurge]i albumul este dac` nu cumva case-
le au devenit con[tiente de statutul lor de posibile ve-
dete [i asta nu influen]eaz` n vreun fel facerea lor

A foreword, cause thats why they call it so, should help
explain the book it precedes, offering a series of
accounts, perhaps the papers plan, perhaps certain
critical references, etc. This would be nice and
undoubtedly useful. I confess that I have no intention of
doing this though, or not more than telling you that the
sixth volume of the igloobest collection dedicated to
Romanian houses proposes a selection of 16 projects,
each one thoroughly photographed, accompanied by
blueprints and its own presentation text.
What I would rather observe here is the status of the
house as a book subject. I imagine everyone has
noticed that lately the phenomenon of books their
choice of subjects arranged around family criteria has
seriously gained ground. Constructions or cars, any
kind of object, from fire guns to laces, baby animals to
tattoos, etc. etc., practically anything that can amount
to a series becomes a book. I think its hard to find any
product of human creativity that doesnt have, with
some publisher or another, a dedicated selection
album. The phenomenon is probably equally due to
the commercial interest, to a kind of (collectors) mania
to systemize and organise an increasingly complex
world, one that is more and more dense in terms of
fabricated goods. Beyond theory, the fact is that we
can no longer ignore this way of packaging the results
of human creativity. As the house is one important
product to come out of the creation process, it is, isnt
it?, only natural that it has its own family of books
where it can be found, pre cooked, ready digested for
the more or less specialized reader. I am glad it is us
who do this in Romania, as I think the existence of a
local selection of domestic architecture is important,
dedicated both to specialists and to the less trained, be
it even for the immediate use of those looking for inspi-
ration, if not for documenting this phenomenon in time.
Unfortunately, the offer still scarce of quality subjects
does not yet allow for a partition in subclasses (after
materials, surfaces and other criteria), but I expect in
the near future we will get there.
The question I leave you with (to which I am still to find
a satisfying answer) and whose key I invite you to read
this album in, is whether or not the houses have
become aware of their status of possible stars and if
this has any kind of influence on their making

Pe malul lacului Snagov
On the shores of Lake Snagov
Proprietatea este situat` pe malul lacului Snagov,
prins` \ntr-o f[ie de teren \ngust` \ntre p`dure [i

The property is placed on the shores of lake Snagov,
caught on a narrow strip of land between the forest
and the lake: an exceptional, yet discreet positioning.
Given extremely precise specifications and require-
ments from the owner, the architects approached the
project with inspiration and simplicity. The starting
point was the intention to offer that feeling of drifting,
of opening up to the lake while also embracing the
forest. Thus, the team constantly searched for ways of
expanding the house through its surroundings, by vo-
luntarily integrating these in the inner space. The
ground floor contains and favors the reception area,
the living room and its overhanging terrace, facing
an exceptional view of the lake, challenging the struc-
tural engineers in order to achieve an 11 m opening
of glazing without any pillars or intermediate support.
The dining room is placed in front of a glazed facade
with double height, for a full enjoyment of the imme-
diate vicinity of the forest. In order to further potenti-
ate this vicinity, the interior encompasses an attic wall
fully covered in mirrors.
The fabrics of the interior decorations were chosen
with great care, consulting the owner, who invested
intelligently and generously in this project: noble
Romano Bianco travertine slabs for the ground, Italian
parquet, walls clad in finned rosewood and textured
plaster. The kitchen is clad in the solemn Macassar
wood. The napage and interior lighting wear the sig-
nature of the master glassmakers from the Murano
Island and of the renowned Catellean & Smith.

I.D. House
Amplasat` \n imediata vecin`tate a Deltei V`c`re[ti,
Casa I.D. profit` din plin de oportunit`]ile oferite de
teren, transformnd limit`rile \n avantaje. Cu un volum
compact, construc]ia prezint` o deschidere semnifi-
cativ` spre parc, printr-o suprafa]` vitrat` generoas`
la mansard`, al`turi de o teras` care puncteaz` volu-
mul. Aceste vitraje creeaz` un dialog cu exteriorul, o-
ferind luminozitate [i spa]ialitate unui interior de alt-
minteri de dimensiuni reduse. Un alt element de des-
chidere este lucarna care, nu doar ofer` o perspec-
tiv` unic` asupra ora[ului ci contribuie [i la iluminarea
natural` a mansardei. Pe latura dinspre strad`, volu-
mul e mai compact, consola definind un spa]iu acope-
rit ce marcheaz` [i protejeaz` accesul \n locuin]`. An-
velopanta cl`dirii este realizat` \n sistem double-skin,
cu tabl` f`l]uit`, cu rol de ventilare natural` a fa]ade-

asigurat` prin casa sc`rii, care poate fi deschis` la

spa]iul existent, astfel \nct s-au ob]inut suprafe]e
generoase pe un teren relativ redus ca dimensiuni.
Astfel, parterul, cu o suprafa]` construit` de 85 mp,
cuprinde zona de zi, cu holul de acces, buc`t`ria, lo-
cul de luat masa, livingul [i un grup sanitar. La etaj, pe
o suprafa]` de 105 mp au fost organizate dormitorul
matrimonial, cu dressing [i baie, [i dou` dormitoare

transformat` \n dormitor pentru oaspe]i, iar subsolul
cuprinde o camer` tehnic` [i o zon` de depozitare.

Placed in the immediate vicinity of the V`c`re[ti
Delta, the I.D. House makes the most out of the
opportunities set by the land, turning restrictions into
benefits. With a compact volume, the construction
displays a wide opening towards the park, through a
generous glazed surface at the loft level, along with a
terrace punctuating the volume. This glazing creates
a dialogue with the surroundings, providing light and
spaciousness to an otherwise small interior. Another
element of aperture is the skylight, which besides
offering a perspective on the city, contributes to the
natural lighting of the loft. On the street side, the vo-
lume is more enclosed, the cantilever defining a co-
vered space that marks and protects the access to the
house. The building envelope is built in a double-
skin system, with folded plate, playing part in the na-
tural ventilation of the faade during summertime and
maintaining a hot air bed between the inner and the
outer skin during winter. On the interior, the natural
ventilation is provided by the staircase, which can be
opened at the loft. The configuration of functions
managed to maximize the given space, obtaining
generous surfaces on an otherwise small lot. Thus,
the ground floor, with a built surface of 85 sqm, con-
tains the daytime area, with the access hallway, the
kitchen, the dining and living room, and the lavatory.
At the first floor, a surface of 105 sqm is organized to
host the master bedroom, with the adjacent dressing
room and bathroom, and two children bedrooms,
with a common bath. The loft is designed as a flexible
space, a leisure room that can be turned into a guest
bedroom, while the basement is comprised of a tech-
nical room and a storage area.

Casa Rare[
Rare[ House

Situat` \ntr-o zon` reziden]ial` adiacent` a capitalei,
cu o densitate sc`zut` a cl`dirilor [i un regim jos de
\n`l]ime, aceast` locuin]` a beneficiat de lipsa con-
strngerilor de ordin volumetric sau stilistic, care ar fi
fost nelipsite \n contextul unui ]esut urban mai \n-
chegat. Construc]ia este caracterizat` de o volume-
trie simpl`, geometric`, dezvoltat` doar pe parter.
Nucleul structurii este spa]iul de living, ce reprezint`
[i punctul cel mai \nalt al acesteia, fiind dezvoltat
pn` la coama [arpantei [i l`snd vizibile elementele
structurale ale acesteia.
Situarea la marginea ora[ului a reprezentat, de
asemenea, o ocazie de a reinterpreta o serie de ca-
racteristici ale caselor tradi]ionale. Astfel, \n cadrul
zonei de acces, leg`tura dintre exterior [i interior se
realizeaz` printr-o versiune contemporan` a prispei
vernaculare, care stabile[te un dialog armonios cu
liniile clare, riguroase ale cur]ii amenajate peisagistic.
Un alt element \mprumutat din repertoriul tradi]ional
este strea[ina ampl`, ce \ntrege[te atmosfera de
calm, sugernd protec]ie [i armonie. Pe de alt`
parte, vitrajele de dimensiuni mari marcheaz`
deschiderea c`tre curte f`r` a afecta cu nimic inti-
mitatea celor din interior. |n acela[i timp, prezen]a
sticlei, precum [i a grilajului metalic ce protejeaz`
spa]iul de joac` \n aer liber stabile[te un contrast
pl`cut cu tonurile naturale ale lemnului [i cu verdele
care domin` curtea.
Placed in a residential area adjacent to the capital city, with
a low density of construction and a low height regime, this
house benefits from the advantage of no volumetric or sty-
listic constraints that would otherwise be customary in a
more coagulated urban tissue.
The construction is distinguished through a simple, geo-
metrical volume, developed solely on the ground level. The
constructions core is the living room, at the same time its
highest point, developed on the ridge of the framing and
leaving its structural elements exposed.
This placement at the city edge also allowed for a reinter-
pretation of a series of features of traditional housing. Thus,
within the access area, the link between the outside and the
inside is ensured by a contemporary version of the verna-
cular porch establishing a balanced dialogue with the clear,
rigorous lines of the landscaped garden. Another element
embraced from the traditional repertoire is the wide eaves,
rounding out the appearance of calmness, suggesting pro-
tection and harmony. On the other side, the wide glazing
marks the opening towards the garden without affecting the
intimacy of those inside. At the same time, the presence of
glass, as well as the metallic grid that protects the open-air
playground establishes a pleasant contrast with the natural
shades of the wood and the green dominating the garden.

The building meets the beneficiaries passion for the
Mediterranean style by rearranging its elements in a
modern language the rightness, bright light, sun-
shades, shutters, white paint, natural stone, wood
essence and the fixed furniture. The fixed furniture
whose panels reiterate the image of traditional shut-
ters becomes a separation wall between rooms,
access doors or the visiting grid. The wood is mount-
ed at the ceiling level, in the soffits of the day areas
and the access hallway, where alongside the white
metallic beams, it gives the stair head a light appear-
ance. The ceilings on the upper floor are finished with
wallpaper in natural colours. The monochrome cur-
tains highlight the traditional models of the carpets.
The ladder, with a metallic structure and free steps,
invites the zenithal light into the ground floor, while
the marginal glazing of the double-sided furniture
between the living room and the hallway brings natu-
ral light into the day area. The living room and kitchen
are punctuated by spectacular fire and water accents:
the double-faced fireplace and the three metre long
aquarium mounted on the dining room wall. The table
made of a centennial door leaf and the vintage chairs
are emphasized by the designs modern elements.
The wood textures in different hues and ages highli-
ght the authenticity of the interiors and lend depth to
the design. The stone-fini-shing wall of the day area
goes on to the exterior, visually sheltering the pool.
The horizontal holes in its surface make room for the
planters of climbing plants and for the cascades play-
ing an aesthetic and practical role in hydro massage.
The pool terrace encircles the roots of the tall walnut
tree saved by the beneficiaries as a symbol of the spo-
ntaneous nature specific to Mediterranean gardens.

The building is developed in an hourglass shape, with
the free stepped stairs and the glazed elevator at its
center, which bring light to the very core of the house.
The hollow shape of the side facades creates two irre-
gular inner yards that connect both sides of the house.
The midlevel floors define a tridimensional open-spa-
ce. The exposed structure of the oblique-coffered
concrete beams extends into the main facades ter-
race through a network of metallic beams, while the
perforated steel plates support a series of shrub pots
and become vertical pergolas for the ivy planted on
the ground floor. The exposed concrete ceilings re-
quire the use of intelligent heating systems, with radi-
ating panels within walls, floor heating, a heat pump
unit and solar panels. The building management sys-
tem, the LED lighting and the oversized thermal insu-
lation efficiently handle the energy consumption of the
building. The cardinal direction and the proportion
between the full and the hollow ensure the natural
light requisite, all the while offering the much-needed
shelter from excessive sunlight. The curtain of vegeta-
tion between the building and the street shades the
rooms of the main facade and integrates the building
within its built environment, distinguished by the
wealth of free vegetation. The interior design places its
stake on spectacular raw materials prioritized on their
different positions towards the source of natural light.
The designer products supplement the range of mate-
rials with vibrant textures and minimalist shapes.

Pe malul lacului Grivi]a, un volum alb, compact [i

cadrul natural existent, permi]nd vederi panoramice
[i genernd trasee luminoase. Amplasamentul ofer-
tant a generat [i cteva constrngeri urbanistice,
care au dus la dezvoltarea pe vertical` a proiectului.
Contextul a determinat tratarea diferit` a fa]adelor.
C`tre drumul de servitute ce m`rgine[te o latur` a
terenului s-a optat pentru un plan ce favorizeaz` pli-
nul, pentru ob]inerea unui efect de intimitate a lo-
cuirii. Fa]ada dinspre curtea interioar`, unde se afl`
[i piscina, a fost deschis` prin decupaje ample, ce
las` locuin]a s` respire. Interiorul, organizat pe trei
nivele, ncurajeaz` o utilizare natural` [i facil` a spa-
]iilor. Parterul a fost dedicat zonei de zi, primul etaj
ad`poste[te dormitoarele, n timp ce al doilea nivel a
fost atribuit unui spa]iu de lucru [i unui hobby studio.
Pe fiecare dintre aceste nivele, cte o teras` com-
pleteaz` cu succes planimetria [i ofer` perspective
diferite c`tre lac.
Elementul-cheie al casei l constituie scara spectacu-
loas` cu luminator deasupra, ce traverseaz` deschis,
ca un profil elegant, fiecare nivel. Mobilierul, finisa-
jele [i culorile subliniaz` aplecarea c`tre minimalism.
Cu ajutorul luminii [i al culorilor diafane albul [i

spirit mediteraneean. Suprafe]ele mate se mbin` cu
cele lucioase conferind amenaj`rii un aer dinamic [i

On the bank of lake Grivi]a, a white, compact and
slender volume, smartly cut, easily stands out in its
natural surroundings, granting panoramic views and
generating enlightened tracks. Yet the generous site
also brought about a series of urban constraints that
led to a vertical development of the project. This con-
text resulted in the differential treatment of the
facades. On the side facing the easement road that
borders a flank of the land, the choice went for a full
facade, one that would grant the inhabitants a sense
of intimacy. The facade facing the inner yard, with the
pool, has been opened up through ample cuts that
enable the construction to breathe.
The interior, organised on three levels, encourages a
natural and easy use of the space. While the ground
floor is dedicated to daytime activities, the first floor
hosts the bedrooms and the second floor is assigned
to a working space and hobby studio. On each of
these levels, an adjoining terrace successfully com-
pletes the geometry and offers different perspectives
on the lake. The key element of the house is the spec-
tacular stairway below the luminary, which openly
crosses each level with an elegant profile. The furni-
ture, finishing materials and colours highlight a bias
towards minimalism. With the use of light and ethere-
al colours white and shades of beige the house is
built in a purely Mediterranean spirit. Opaque sur-
faces blend with polished ones, lending the interior
design a dynamic and vibrant appearance. The upper
floor, possibly the most impressive one, is illuminated
through a series of circular cut-outs, in stark contrast
with the prevailing right angles.

The homes young beneficiaries wished to live in an
urban environment, but retain the advantages offered
by a house - a garden and a direct connection to the
outside, as well as a greater flexibility in dividing the
interiors. Determined, when the opportunity arose,
they bought a house with a basement, ground floor
and a first floor, with a footprint of merely 38 sqm and
a yard of 100 sqm, built in the 40s in a residential
area with many similar buildings. After the consolida-
tion works and the replacement of installations, the
main volume was clad in white polished metal, and
the simple, geometric composition was highlighted
through a series of black framings that stand out on
the facade. As a counterpoint, the two access vo-
lumes to the terrace are coated in iroko wood, sug-
gesting the connection between nature and the state
of relaxation. Between these two lies the inner space,
connected through a balanced staircase, with floating
steps and a minimalist metallic handrail that high-
lights, through indirect lighting, the central element of
exposed concrete. A modern kitchen, designed in a
cold-warm contrast, and a more technical space are
located in the demi basement, while at the upper floor
lays the living room an elegant and comfortable
space. The plan of the second floor has been solved
in a rather special formula: since the initial space
didnt allow for a bigger shower, the latter was even-
tually placed in the bedroom and adorned creatively.
The furniture, built in a rather restrained chromatic
register, with a series of well-placed accents, was
entirely designed by the team of architects and cus-
tom made, completing the image.

Placed on the banks of the Danube, in Or[ova, this
house emerges as an important landmark in the
architectural landscape of the area. With a volumetric
composition and an innovative inner geometry of
space, the project meets both the constraints of the
site and the specific requirements of the beneficiary.
With a ground floor placed in the underground, the
constructions cornice reaches a height of fewer than
8m compared to the natural terrains quota, which
produces a minimum impact on the environment and
lends a more intimate feel to the private areas. Thus
the four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and
dressing, along with the wine cellar, are located on
the buried ground floor. The first floor, on the other
hand, is comprised of the houses public spaces,
namely the spectacularly grand living room (172
sqm) and the kitchen. However, not only the upstairs
rooms enjoy great views: the wide declivity of the ter-
rain uncovers the volumes ground floor, facing the
water surface, and thus unfolds new perspectives on
the landscape. The two parallel wings are connected
through a linking volume, opening on the sides
towards two inner yards, a solution that enables the
natural lighting of the whole ground floor. The houses
sculptural shape and the game of textures on the fini-
shing materials led to a more discreet approach of the
secondary building wing, designed as the administra-
tors residence. This is, in turn, buried through
embankments of grassy terrain, while the apparent
facade is fully plated with the same stone found on
the ground floor areas of the main building.

This projects premises were the placement in a pro-
tected area and the beneficiarys desire to enjoy a
sheltered and intimate house, while still firmly ground-
ed in the urban lifestyle. The solution offered by the
team of architects meets these requirements with a
lot of creativity and coherence, taking full advantage
of the sites configuration. Thus, the geometry and
land orientation, with an elongated Northern side,
facilitated the shaping of an inner yard, which not only
enables the natural lighting of the house but also con-
nects all the spaces and meets the need for refuge
from the urban congestion. On the other hand, in
order not to completely lose the connection to its
vicinities, the buildings last level, where the office and
the lobby are fitted with wide glazing and the terrace
has a significant size, ensures a 270 panorama on
what Bucharest has best to offer: a landscape blend-
ing rooftops, tree crowns, gardens and remnants of
orchards.
The quality of the interior environment, an important
objective of the project, is due foremost to the direct
link between the inner yard and the indoor spaces.
Arranged around the yard, the living room, kitchen,
hallways, a few bedrooms and baths, all enjoy the
daylight that penetrates the completely glazed
facades and implicitly a permanent connection to the
outdoor. The project doesnt look for the spectacular
at all costs, but aims to understand the nature of the
place it inhabits and thus tries to answer the clients
requirements in a way that doesnt interfere with
whatever is left of the authenticity of the neighbour-
hood.

An example of contemporary architecture perfectly
fitted in the angle of the scenery, the Hajd house
offers practical and imaginative solutions for a slope,
incorporating the body of the house in the terrains
angle. Placed on the Northern flank, offering a view
on the city below and the mountains ahead, the blue-
print of the house is organized around the terrace,
which has a South-Eastern orientation, following the
pattern of the traditional household organized around
the yard.
Both the exterior and the inner terraces, as well as the
common spaces on the interior, closely follow the
topography and the land orientation, while the inti-
mate spaces and annexes are delimited through par-
tition walls and a setting that breaks the rhythm of the
slope, in cantilever. The living room and kitchen open
towards the terrace through a wide glazing, partially
shaded during the summer and enjoying a conside-
rable thermal input during winter, through high qua-
lity insulation. The exterior terrace and the immediate
vicinities come as a continuation of the daily trajecto-
ry, rending fluidity to movement and to the relation
between the inside and out. In the same line of space
continuity emerges the green roof, also on a slope,
closely reflecting the topography of the land. All
materials are locally sourced, bringing an added
coherency to the sustainable approach highlighted by
the green roof. Relying on a juxtaposition of wood and
natural stone on the facade, the chromatic closely fol-
lows neutral shades, contributing to the very integra-
tion of the construction in the landscape.

Placed in Bu[teni, at the foot of the Caraiman massif,
this two storey house rejoices in the spectacle of the
areas natural landscape, which engages it in an ele-
gant and dynamic dialogue. Thus, the construction is
defined by an irregular plan, moulded around the
lands shape and by a slim, energetic volume in full
agreement with the surroundings, capturing the spec-
tacular perspectives offered by these.
The building itself is situated on the southern side of
the lot. The three main volumes are aligned to its
southern, eastern and north-eastern sides, maintain-
ing a withdrawal of at least 3 m from the property
limits and making room for a covered parking space
for three cars.
The access area is marked by a windfang reinterpre-
ted in a contemporary key. The ground floor contains
the day areas the living room and dining room with
an open kitchen, a series of technical and storage
areas, for example the pantry and the space accom-
modating the boiler, as well as a jacuzzi, with the
adjacent shower and lavatories. A generous terrace,
with a panoramic view, completes the day area.
The first floor hosts the night time spaces three
bedrooms, each with its own bath, one of them with
a terrace access, while the second floor is dedicated
to sports and leisure activities.
The volume that houses the pool is oriented like a
periscope towards the Caraiman massif, thus offering
a modern and elegant touch to one of the defining
structures in the area The Cross of the Heroes.

As the house is one notable product to come out of the creative process, it is only natural that it has its own family
of books where it can be found, pre cooked, readily digested. We are glad to be doing this in Romania, as we find

the existence of a local selection of domestic architecture important, dedicated both to specialists and to the less
trained, be it even for the immediate use of those looking for inspiration, if not for documenting this phenomenon
in time. Thus, the sixth volume of the igloobest collection dedicated to Romanian houses proposes 16 projects,
each one thoroughly photographed, accompanied by blueprints and its own presentation text.
