The Office Cluj, an office building ensemble recently finalized, has begun as an urban regeneration project for the brownfield plot left by the old textile industry, in the vicinity of Cluj-Napoca’s historic centre. As in most communist cities, this area became part of the industrial framework of Cluj-Napoca, which even now includes some leftover industries and factories. To the north of the site there still exists an old water channel, a small ramification of the Someș river while to the south there is the main boulevard and the main connection to the historic city centre, to the west.

The project acts as an intervention on a pre-existing structure in order to provide arenas for various activities – subject to change in time – but also to open up the interior, connecting it with the green in the patio.
The open ground floor brings together the daily activities of the entire family. The vast space, almost free of any compartments or delimitations, offers protection from the street while linking the garden and the pool terrace with the green area in the south-east. The upper floor incorporates individual private areas, which make use of various discreetly placed elements to filter the visual communication with the outside. The last floor embodies the penthouse, which accommodates an area designed for personal body care and other sporting activities, connected to a suspended garden spanned across almost the entire terrace. In addition to restoring while reaching the green space of the patio, the terrace opens up to the wide view of the surroundings.
The building is situated nearby a mountain lake and is configured with two major volumes, taking advantage of the natural form of the site, which presents two major level drops intercalated with two approximately flat areas: one volume that houses the rooms and reception, and the second volume that contains living and dining spaces, the restaurant kitchen and and technical spaces, both volumes are thus articulated as to exploit at maximum the geometric configuration of the land, orientation and views the site has, considering the insertion in site and how the building creates a dialogue with the environment.
We are the slaves of our own visual, auditive or senzitive experiences.
We live an internal universe which determines us in the cultural perception. In Bucharest, we are characterized by the extraverted, vocal, filmic spirit. We like to have it all.To be exuberant, to live for the moment. The reward of instant pleasure fills our soul.
Iberico – Bar de Tapas is a small restaurant and bar in Craiova, the 2nd largest city in the southern part of Romania. As suggested in the name, we went for a Spanish feel and atmosphere for this place, situated in the old part of the town, with 1900s neo-classic houses. Our client fully reconditioned a 2 stories house, with a bar on the Ground floor and serving tables on the 1st floor.
Beretta showroom was designed in a particular fashion that is a mixture of classic and industrial style. The Gallery, where premium hunting weapons are displayed, is designed in a more classical way, only the furniture and the lightning being modern. However, the rest of the showroom has a more industrial style with black metal furniture and high contrasts. The reception is the element that synthesizes best the entire showroom: a massive wood and black marble desk with an industrial tridimensional metal structure. The white elm sculpture gives an organic feel to the entire space and accentuates the purpose of the showroom: selling hunting weapons.
The whole project was meant to provide an intimate environment in a densely populated area relying on energy and resource efficient eco-design. The five houses share a private road, a courtyard that is divided into smaller units, an indoor swimming pool and a wonderful SPA area. This creates a unique mix of public, semi-public and private spaces that beautifully enhance dwellers’ sense of community and closeness to nature.
This residence captivates the eye with interesting façades, playful volumes and a variety of exterior finishes. This modern-contemporary home adapts both to the urban environment and to the natural landscape that characterizes the neighborhood.
Tecto Arhitectura was appointed to design the new office building in Reci, Covasna, as the first large scale project with CLT structure in south-east Europe. The goals of the client extended from making a statement about its high standards and interest in high performance use of wood to the point of having a comfortable and proper office as part of a larger work site.
