Villa Domes is situated in a small holiday village near Chisinau, Moldova, and is designed for a family of four. It features an area for leisure and a green zone. The leisure area includes a terrace, a pool, and a hearth, which is visually connected to the living room through large windows. The green zone is a garden that provides a comfortable place for children to play in the summer, and it becomes an integral element of the interior through the windows.
The main focus of the building is the entrance, which features a floating volume of the concrete portal with a constructive function, providing overall rigidity and softening the metal frame of the house. The sculptural form of the concrete emphasizes the conciseness of the planning solution and the simplicity of the corten steel facade. The truncated pyramid domes of the roof play a critical role in the three-dimensional solution, serving as light lanterns, revealing the rhythm and solidity of the structure, and forming a voluminous, bright space.
