The Cottage at the Village Fringe

“The Cottage at the Village Fringe” represents a modern, newly constructed extension of an existing building, initially conceived as a weekend retreat for a young family. The architectural vision behind this project aims to revive the tradition of Romanian countryside estates, taking cues from the rural dwelling typology prevalent near urban centers, where multiple generations of families coexist amidst pastoral surroundings.

Through a collaborative architectural approach, the two structures have seamlessly merged to create a cohesive design that prioritizes the interplay between family dynamics and the natural environment. This synthesis successfully integrates the existing architectural heritage with contemporary requirements for comfort, environmental sustainability, and energy efficiency.
