by Villa Domes by Calujac Architecture
Amidst the rural landscape of a small holiday village near Chisinau, MoldovaCalujac Architecture designed a family House with a noticeable curl concrete Entry. The front facade of “Villa Domes”, which seems like a floating volume, is complemented by the corten steel cladding and the large glazing that complete the exterior. A green garden and recreation area complete the residential project, allowing residents to enjoy and connect with the peaceful natural surroundings.

The central element of Villa Domes is its striking entrance. The floating volume of the concrete portal has not only an aesthetic purpose but also a constructive function as it provides general rigidity and softens the metal frame of the house. The sculptural form of the concrete emphasizes the conciseness of the design solution and the simplicity of the Corten steel facade. The domes, designed as truncated pyramids on the roof, play a crucial role in the three-dimensional solution. They serve as lanterns of light, showing the rhythm and solidity of the structure, creating a voluminous, bright space inside.
Calujac architecture (find more Here) designed this house for a family of four with a spacious recreation area and green zone. The leisure area includes a terrace, a pool and a fireplace. Thanks to the large windows, this room is visually connected to the living room. The green area has the form of a large garden, in the shade of which children can play comfortably in the summer, and which “penetrates” through the windows into the house and becomes an integral part of the interior.
