2nd year 1st semester 2016

​

Cluj-Napoca, Cluj county, Romania

The "Urban House project" is designed in a silent, suburb, neighbourhood, close to the Somes River in the city of Cluj-Napoca. The here presented family house makes an attempt  to provide an attractive alternative for the big flat blocks in the dense neighbour districts for those families who seek intimacy and a close connection to nature in the city. The pedestrian entrance can happen form both directions to the site, where the house reminds us of the cubist houses, with a slight secret cut where the slanting window takes place and enlightens the first floor and ground floor at the same time. The dining room has an immediate connection with the grill terrace with slighting doors, which in the case of the good weather can be opened completely. At the roof terrace, a greenhouse takes place, from where the Somes River became almost an immediate neighbour on the horizon. At the exit from the greenhouse, the dove house welcomes us in the roof garden, giving a home to doves and giving place to vegetation as of lifting the covered vegetation from the ground to the roof of the house to not to lose any given space to get intimacy and nature in a city house.
