Located in Poiana Domnească, Moldova, this 288 sqm home is designed for a couple who welcome their two adult sons for occasional visits. Its spaces respond to the quiet rhythms of daily life for two, while allowing the household to expand comfortably when the family gathers. Generous communal areas provide a setting for these reunions, balanced by private rooms that offer each generation its own retreat.

A strong horizontal roofline anchors the architecture. Exposed architectural concrete meets sheets of cor-ten steel that rise to window height, while their rust-toned patina is resonating with the garden’s seasonal colours. Deep overhangs shelter terraces with expansive glazing draws greenery into the daily experience of the house.

Inside, timber softens the mineral palette of concrete and stone. Wood-lined walls, ceiling and integrated doors lend warmth and continuity, moving from the entrance to the quieter intimacy of the bedrooms. Restrained furnishings and discreet lighting allow texture, proportion and daylight to shape the atmosphere. Throughout, the garden remains a constant presence, framing a domestic landscape that accommodates both family life and individual freedom.
