Selected Works 2013-2016

| Architecture Competitions |

Taking into consideration the fact that architecture is a team job, most of the presented projects are a result of working in a team and they represent the outcome of strong and reliable collaborations between me and other team members or clients. Having in mind the fact that the architecture job is composed of many steps, the presented projects cover most of the design process. Most of the work was made as part of a team, where each member had a certain designing phase to fulfill, that’s why on each project my role was different, covering this way all of the designing process.

Considering the complexity of the projects, the work was divided between collaborators, having as common ground the main concept and ideas for the project. For the purpose of full understanding of the projects, there was proposed an interior design, as well as landscape design and full technical drawings. Also, being team projects, I was an active part of the different phases, trying to find new ways of resolving the functional problems, keeping in mind the requests of the client.

The best way to improve yourself, to test your limits and abilities, as well as learning and working with a team is through competition. Architecture and design competitions are an important and a big part of the portfolio, illustrating the final results on international architecture and interior design competitions. Entering in competition with architects and designers from the whole world creates a dynamic and creative environment, where you have to improve your work with each project. The competitions range from the concept design, new residential to remodeling or interior design, each project offering different opportunities of creating new and dynamic solutions, that can answer to specific requirements.

We proposed a composition formed by the Main House with an extension, Garage and Barn-Guest House with an extension, all components being opened to an interior courtyard. The three main constructions – Main House, Garage and Guest House, are linked through two small connection spaces that can be opened to the courtyard during warm weather and used as exterior covered spaces.

The main aim of the competition was to design two buildings, landscape design, conceptual drawings and technical plans for a waterfront residence and cottage in the United States Virgin Islands.

The requirements were to create the main house for one family, that contained all the necessary functions, as well as an entertainment area with easy access and opened to the exterior; and a cottage that can serve as renting house or guest house, that will be linked with the main house but having the possibility of having separate entrance points.

The project of Mountain Chalet is located in Villars-sur-Ollon, Canton of Vaud, Switzerland, having hotel destination both in winter and in summer. Located in the Alps, it must meet strict legislation with regard to architectural image, functional structure, especially the treatment of facade. Thus, materials and textures have gained high importance in obtaining the desired image. The proposed materials for facades are local materials, remoteness, natural materials, providing an architectural image integrated into the environment where it is built.

The proposed project tries to answer the question of living spaces for the homeless people of Chicago. The proposal focuses on creating affordable, low-cost housing units that respond to the social requests as well as the environmental and architectural standards of the site.

The main concept of the tree house was the total closing of the house from the exterior, becoming a house of secrets, an intimate and unique space for one or two individuals. The house can be completely closed to the exterior, or opened, depending on the situation and the needs of the user.

The design approach seeks to ascertain the client’s vision and project requirements, and combine these with their aspirations for design quality, efficiency and speed. Taking into consideration the requirements of the client filtered through professional beliefs, the design solution obtained satisfy both the technical and functional needs of any given brief, highlighting the esthetic and architectural image of the design. Most of the presented architectural projects are small residences, for one or two families, resulting in a great attention to details, landscape designing, space usage and building details.

On each project I had a different role, covering this way, through multiple projects, the entire designing process. From drafting, the creation of technical drawings for obtaining the building permit, landscape design, technical details or concept design, each project represented a different and new approach to the design process.

Single-family housing is located in the village of Aninoasa, Dâmboviţa County, Romania. In terms of functionality, the functional scheme has been agreed with the customer, aiming at its daily activities and the degree of use of the premises.

Thus, spaces day activities were distributed at ground floor and spaces intended for the operation of the night in the attic.

The concept of this project was the architectural image with correlation functions, which is why, from the point of view of architectural sculpture, the dwelling is divided into two different treatments. The input range is marked by plank paneling plating profiled, and space for entry is treated with a darkercolored plaster. In order to follow this concept, architectural roof treatment was extended on the main façade, which is from multi-layer panels of dark, in order to make the functions of the attic, but nocturnal and to create a contrast with the treatment of the floor.

| Interior Design |

Interior design is all about telling a story, creating a space and giving meaning to it, combining elements like light, color, mood, materials and shapes to answer a personal need. Each piece fits together to weave an experience that challenges, inspires, comforts and delights clients. Designing interior spaces offers the chance of intimately connecting with the client, getting to apply his preferences and desires into a certain space, whilst keeping the space functional and usable. Most of the interior projects presented are a direct collaboration with the client, as well as with other architects and interior designers, resulting in specific jobs on each project.

Most of the projects are based on a clean, modern design using light colors and warm materials in order to create modern and cozy spaces. The designs tried to follow a functional, yet aesthetically pleas¬ant tone, taking into consideration the requirements of the cli¬ents, as well as the existing layout of the spaces. The projects follow a simple and minimalistic line, trying to make the most of the ex¬isting spaces. The projects are based on the client’s wishes and furniture preferences, taking into consideration the possibility of acquiring the listed items.

The project is a scenario of implementing the function of library and tea house in a locally, well-known, historic house.

The house had a strange and sad destiny, being abandoned and set on fire, today is just a ruin that keeps some of its old characteristics. The aim of this project was to revive the house by giving it a different function, converting it to a more public usage, so people can see and understand the importance of conserving and using heritage buildings.

Considering that the existing house has its exterior shell intact, the project was more focused on the interior of the house, how to integrate the new function into the existing spaces without ruining the historical layout of the house. The existing layout of the house allowed the adaptation of the rooms to accommodate a small library and a tea space.

The aim of the project was to create a functional and usable layout for an old family of two, taking into consideration the limited possibilities of demolition and relocation of walls, due to structural concerns, and the requirements and preferences of the client. The project is composed on the designing and furnishing two floors: ground floor and first floor, an attic and a semi-basement. Each floor is used for a different part of the day or by a different part of the family. This way, the ground floor is dedicated to the living, day functions: living room, dining, and kitchen; the first floor is for the night functions: bedrooms and bathrooms; the semi-basement is dedicated for work, containing an adaptable library space – teaching space, office, and archive; the attic is used as a guest room for their children and grandchildren, containing sleeping space, reading space and storage.

| Academic Work |

Most of the projects created during the years in Architecture School were concept projects, where it was offered the opportunity to create interesting and ideal design in order to solve one or a series of given issues, like urban regeneration through architecture, urban integration, dynamic architecture, free plan designing principles, adaptability, functionality.

From studying the existing architecture, to creating new designs in order to answer a certain issue or to understand different architectural principlas, most of the academic projects were bold proposals. The presented projects are a small part of the number of created projects during the 6 years of study.

Regarding my role in each project, I had a different role each time, from 2 D drafting, concept design, sketching, to 3 D modeling, rendering and post processing for presentation purposes.

IDEAL THEATRE Diploma Project Client UAUIM Role Architecture Architect Eduard Pascu

The theater itself reveals a lesson about human existence, a lesson which lets us understand life through different filters.

People always find new ways of expressing through interpretational art and, as a result, this will ensure the continuity of theater as a dramatic show, no matter what form it takes.

The proposal contains spaces with a high level of adaptability, which shall be subjected to some specialized requirements of projection and that, at the same time, is very flexible. It is necessary that this space is dedicated to all kinds of spectators, providing a diversity of representations, without compromising the quality of the theater. Networking and connecting with the public space, integrating the proposal into the existing urban fabric, completing it with a daring building that has clearly defined architectural means, is the main goal of the proposal.

L Wall House Academic Project Client Program Role Architecture Proposale Architect Eduard Pascu

Residence for one family designed based on a structural grid of 4.80x4.80 squares. The project is an application of the principles of modern architecture, free plan and floating functions.

The aim of the design was to create a house that can answer to the needs of a single family.

The main aim was to arrange and create the needed functions within a glass house without combining the day and night functions. The name of the house is based on the shape of the wall that separates the functions for the day activities – living, dining, kitchen, study room, and the functions for the night activities – bedrooms, dressing, bathrooms. Every room is opened to the exterior, creating a visual and physical flow between the exterior and interior spaces.
