What is Architecture ? Everything...
I consider to be everything, from a simple building to the life itself, merging art with the great science in order to create world wonders.

Cohousing for 3 friends in a historical area of Timisoara Status: faculty project / 2nd year The main thinking task in this project was how this 3 houses can interact with each other and what shape would allow this action and be most suitable in this historical neighbourhood context. Firstly, I’ve considered very important to design an inner courtyard between the 3 buildings, a transitional and shared space for the 3 friends and their families. I started from the basic “U” form because it generates a direction and in this case to frame a great tree, but I’ve particularized the shape using addition and subtraction for the access and the connection with the garden area. The white aspect and brick materiality also plays an important role in order to adapt to the existing chromatic style of the contemporary buildings.

Cohousig for 7 families on a street near Arad’s city center 2017 C.A.S.A National Contest Special Mention Martin Toimil Status: architectural competition / 2nd year From the design task: The entire exercise can be summarized in one word: together. Beyond this one can see the specific place within the city and the pretext of creating a small community. On a street near Arad’s city center several families have the opportunity to build a life together. The courtyard and built areas will gain different usages (from common, or even open to the neighborhood at some points, to private and individual). The architectural study urges to a personal research, meaning each student is to take ownership over the reading and interpretation of the design brief, and particular, in the sense of understanding and adequately measuring the proposals to what the site itself demands, starting primarily from the community and its members, taking into account the site’s particularities, the characteristics of the immediate neighborhood, but also understanding the force of the city. Its public addressability and relation with the street shall be defined and detailed in the proposed community life scenario. The usage can revolve around a common activity: work, social, educational, cultural or relaxation, initiated by the community and opened, to a greater or lesser extent, to the immediate Neighborhood. Each of the 7 families will have its own place, a house “with a courtyard”, but something more as well.

The Plot We started this project trying to speculate about what may bring together this community and the best answer we found is their lifestyle: the fact that all of them work as freelancers, having related domains. So they decide to move together not only for housing, but also to expand ideas and improve their work, integrating the working life in the office hub in the front part of the site and the habitation part in the back. The contemporary ideea of working from home, but not in a properly way in this case. An important aspect of the site is its placement situated between three other courtyards. We desire to generate a continuable system, opened to the neighbourhood’s courtyards in order to connect them through our site.
The office hub is designed as a playful content based on the principle of shared spaces with a working environment where, fun, play and creativity unite, having a central open space with a dynamic flow sideways to top where are office rooms for concentated work. The daytime areas are integrated next to the working place. The street facade is covered in vegetation with the vehicle acces solved by a subtle cut, putting accent on the pietonal gang entrance that works as a funnel for the hub and being a clear landmark on the Episcopiei street. The back facade is glass covered beeing opened to the courtyard nature.

We created the 7 houses as a 7x7x7m module type of housing to maintain the ideea of equality, all of them having common and private spaces by posibility of the perforated-stell shell facade to slide on the curtain glass to open the up or down level in order to obtain the desired intimacy level. The module houses are also suspended in order to generate a continuous open space underneath them, having the posiblity of a common use and arrangement, such as the office hub.

Minimal Zen Living Place Status: faculty project / 1st year The main design task was to create a place to live (not necessarily a house) for a certain type of character after having to analyze firstly a certain house in every detail such as plans, sections and facades, in my case the Love House of architect Takeshi Hosaka. This helped me to set a few guides for the philosophical speech and design directions. A house that seems closed from the exterior, while the interior opens to his own universe: the greenery which has the same size as the built area and being in relation one with another maintaining equality. The material used for the exterior is white concrete, symbolizing purity, while the interior is made of wood, resulting in a warm-cold contrast. The type of character I’ve choosen for this house has a spritual living, with a close connection with nature. A mystical life where meditation and yoga play an important role in order to achieve a zen living.

Inspirescu Residence Living Room Interior Design status: ongoing The main task from the elderly couple owners was to design a bright cream-colored living room in a modern manner to brighten up their final settlement. One accent was put on the coziness when watching movies, and I decided to create a slab along the cornering sofa in order to offer a space for serving and to store wine. Another element that I’ve played with was illusions: generating a floating effect by raising and lightning the furniture’s prisms. Also by alternating closed and open zones in which the door-glassed reflection creates the impression of a closed box.
