The single-family house is located in the Greenfield neighbourhood, in the northern part of Bucharest, Romania and covers a total area of 265 built square meters. The project fits into the urban context through a minimalist architecture style, which relates in a harmonious way with the simplicity of the residential neighbourhood in which it is located, as well as with the natural setting of the nearby Băneasa Forest. With a dominant linear composition, which joins distinct volumes, the house is spread over three levels: ground floor – whose entrance is highlighted by the change of texture with slats painted in dark grey – along with two floors plastered in white and a generous green roof terrace. Located on the ground floor, the living area – featuring an open-space configuration with kitchen and integrated dining area – benefits of a double opening facing the outdoor terrace and a private garden. The south facing part of the house, overlooking the inner courtyard, gives privacy to the living space area and facilitates a harmonious visual connection with the surrounding nature. Conveniently located near the entrance, the office, with its own bathroom, can function occasionally as a guest bedroom. Upstairs, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom sleeping area opens onto a generous loggia. The master bedroom benefits through its orientation towards the inner courtyard, from the most spectacular view of Băneasa Forest.
