luxury houses for sale Corbeanca, Romania

In the world of architecture, sometimes projects are born that exceed the traditional boundaries of residential design. The Sun House is one of those remarkable stories. A project that perfectly illustrates how cutting-edge technology and sustainability can coexist harmoniously in a natural landscape. What makes the Sun House so special? An architecture that maximizes solar energy, executed to the passive house standard, with an all-wood structure, a smart yet user-friendly home, and an active, edible garden. The Sun House was an ambitious idea that came to life in 2018, in the expansion area of Otopeni, in the immediate vicinity of the Bucharest ring road. With a unique shape and a design that departs from the traditional conventions of homes, it is an example of energy efficiency that maximizes the power of the sun. It has been certified as a Passive House Plus, according to the international standard of the Passive House Institute in Darmstadt. In Romania, there are a total of three certified Passive Plus houses. One remarkable aspect of this residence is the integral use of wood, creating a natural and pleasant ambiance. The ground floor is made of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), a cutting-edge material with structural walls that allow generous openings without the need for supporting pillars or beams. The ground floor is conceived as a central space (the living area) from which the other living rooms are distributed. The floor plan organization, inspired by the archetype of courtyard houses, uses the living room both as a central living space (for cooking, dining, and conversation) and as an interior courtyard from which the bedrooms are entered. The central room naturally extends to the exterior garden on the south side but also visually communicates with the greenhouse, featuring a skylight integrated into the greenhouse floor. However, the greenhouse has external access, as the two levels of the house have different energy performances and independent comfort assurance systems. Above the living space, in the attic area, the spectacular greenhouse adds a unique element - an open space that can be transformed into a flexible, green, and bright living space, with a partially opaque roof on the north side and mostly transparent elsewhere, allowing natural light to penetrate. The garden surrounding the Sun House is ideal for nature lovers. The landscaping was designed in parallel with the architectural plans, with the project theme being an edible garden that provides increased privacy. With an impressive number of plants, fruit trees, shrubs, aromatic plants, and fresh vegetables, the property not only enriches the landscape but also becomes an active yet relaxing space that offers a source of fresh and healthy food. The Sun House is an extraordinary example of a home designed for the future. It is a profound commitment to innovation, sustainability, and environmental respect. A warm, friendly, and bright refuge, an open space for family and friends, in a young community and an area shielded from the noise and hustle typical of urban crowds

There’s something of the earth-sky tension carried in the mountain villas architecture; gravity pulls towards the stone beneath the feet, while the tops of the mountains and trees look up at the blue. Villa Ghica is part of this binomial being anchored in a high stone foundation but the white walls are trying to get out of the decorative wood’s grip. It is quiet, there’s soft light and occasionally the rustling of leaves an dwater or bird’s fluttering their wings. The proximity of the forest translates into a gently sloping terrain with rich grass and shady trees; the villa is perched on a moderate ridge. The generous yard of 1050 sqm, guarded by imposing fir trees, is delimited by wooden fences that symbolically define the spaces, leaving the eye to freely pass through them towards the morning mist and the forest maze. The building has a slender figure despite being rather horizontal; the clean and bright outside has red-tiled chimneys that promise the warmth and comfort of stoves; indeed, the ground floor living room surprises with a spectacular fireplace with refined round lines. The living room on the ground floor is partitioned by round arches and a decorative ceiling thus creating small elegant reception areas that are patiently waiting for guests’ tête-à-tête. The solid furniture does not weight you down, there’s history and discretion in it. The interiors are bright, with meticulously crafted solid wood pieces; it is the refined atmosphere of a space that was once part of the creative houses of the intellectual elite of the twentieth century. A warm wooden staircase connects to the bedrooms on the attic floor; the wood nuance is also found in the carpentry of the doors but also in the kitchen furniture. Wonderful stoves with richly decorated tiles warm the night area, bringing not only warmth but also the necessary stories - the panoramic view of the Bucegi Mountains provides material and inspiration. Activities and attractions in the area: • Peleș Castle (1873-1914) • Știrbey Castle / Sinaia Museum • Sinaia Casino • Sinaia Monastery (1690) with a painting by Pârvu Mutu Zugravul and the tomb of the politician Tache Ionescu • Sinaia Monastery Museum, the first museum of religious art in Romania with paintings and icons, over 500 volumes of old books, antique furniture and church art. • Ariniş Reservation that protects and conserves arboreal species, including the white alder (alnus incana). • Sinaia Railway Museum inside Sinaia Station • Palace-Villa “Alina Știrbei Florescu” • Narcissus Meadow, Rea Valley • Starting point for Ialomicioarei Cave and Ialomița Monastery (wooden church, 16th century) • Mountain routes to Zănoagei Gorges, Omu Peak, Caraiman Cross, Dor Peak, Izvorul Dorului Valley, Jepii Mari, Jepii Mici • Slopes: Valea Soarelui, Valea Dorului, Papagal, Laptici, Valea Dorului, Cota 2000, Malaxa, Vânturile, Poiana Stânii, Furnica, Popicărie, Vânturiș, Târle, Scândurari

The house at 9 Verde Street (today Gheorghe Manu street) was built between 1911 and 1923, initiated by Tațiana Niculescu-Dorobanțu. One of the four daughters of Ion C. Brătianu, Tațiana (1870-1940) married in 1900 Ilie I. Niculescu-Dorobanțu (1873-1943), liberal political figure and prefect of Ilfov. Through their properties will also feature the Darvari manor, close to Bucharest. The plans designed by architect Grigore Cerchez (Cerkez) specified „a building with 2, 3 and 4 levels, massive walls, covered with tiles”, occupying 668,29 square meters. In a letter from 9th of May 1910 addressed to her sister Măriuţa Pillat, then in Paris, Tațiana confessed: „I believe we will have a truly beautiful mansion, Louis XII style, with carved stone and exposed brique”. On 25 September 1913, Taţiana was in France, writing to Sabina Cantacuzino: „The castles on Loire I am not even mentioning, I am amazed by so much beauty and very proud to realize that, without possible comparation to these, my house is very beautiful. Unfortunately, the narrow street makes the palace look crammed.” To furnish the interior, Tațiana chose Romanian traditional art objects and pieces from Antique shops in Paris and Munich. From Spain she brought furniture and tapestries. She wanted everything to be perfect and told her close friends: „I will show you this room only when it is completely furnished.” The imposing building bears the allure of a Gothic cathedral, with exquisite constructive and decorative elements: the exposed brick façade, in several shades of red, the towers’ silhouettes, the entrance portal, the imposing windows, with carved stone elements in Neo-gothic fashion, the cornices, gargoyles, stained glass windows and pointed arches that mark the exterior and interior. In his will, Ilie I. Niculescu-Dorobanțu donated the building to the Ion C. Brătianu Establishment, provided that it became the museum „Ilie, Tațiana and Ion Niculescu-Dorobanțu”. Between 1948-1957, the house hosted the canteen of the employees of the Minister of Industry. In 1956, following the pressures of the Direction of Historic Monuments, that considered the building „one of the most valuable in the Capital from an architectural point of view”, it was classified as part of the heritage of the Ministry of Culture and Education, undergoing consolidation works. Starting 1958, it hosted the Technical school of choreography, with 300 students. Today, more than one century after its construction, the impressive Gothic Revival residence maintains its mysterious allure, fascinating the passers-by with its imposing dimensions and unique construction details, crafted by one of the most important Romanian architects.

One of the truly authentic and spectacular areas of Romania is the Danube Delta, always an important touristic attraction of Europe.

Located on Dinicu Golescu Boulevard, The Villa with Gorgons is one of the few buildings from the beginning of the 20th century that has been preserved on this important artery of Bucharest. The building was built in 1913 and bears the signature of Ion D. Berindey, one of the most famous and prolific Romanian architects of the first three decades of the 20th century. Among the 29 works classified as historical monuments of Ion D. Berindey are the Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino Palace (today the headquarters of the George Enescu National Museum and the Romanian Composers Union), the George G. Assan House (today the House of Scientists), Palace of the Journalists' Union (today the Very Small Theatre). The Villa with Gorgons was built as Colonel Andreescu's private residence as explained by Revista Poporului, a newspaper of the time, which emphasizes how a good architect can with a modest amount easily obtain a completely satisfactory construction from the aesthetic and comfortable point of view. From an aesthetic point of view, the building is tributary to the romantic style and has as a distinctive sign the gorgonles, sculptures that decorate the facade. Gorgons are taken from Greek culture where symbols on doors, walls, windows, floors and shields were intended to protect the ancient Greeks from evil. In terms of use, the villa is truly versatile and can be set up as a home, office space or a bohemian restaurant. Located on a land area of ​​309 square meters, with a footprint of 101 square meters, Vila cu Gorgone is a slim building, with a D+D+1E+M height regime. The spaces are generous and balanced on levels. The ground floor and first floor have three rooms each and spacious entrance halls. The rooms have wide windows and are bright. The same generous space also exists in the mezzanine, and the attic is open space and perfect for a bohemian design. The villa has two access ways: one pedestrian and another for car access. The building is strengthened and the facade is completely restored. Photo: Tudor Prisecaru, Alex Canjea.

The building is a small jewel, richly decorated and preserving a classic elegance and the distinction of the era in which it was built. The archives mention that in 1911 the house belonged to a certain lieutenant Ionescu about whom today we don't know much, only the essential - he was a man of taste. The building is a former private residence with a low height regime but it offers sufficient and intelligently designed space for the needs of a modern family or company. Until recently, the Austrian Consulate functioned in the building. There are pilasters with capitals that guard the bay window both inside and outside in the living area; they are also found, though with reduced height, as decorative pillars of the entrance porch. The semicircle is the geometric figure chosen to complement and sweeten the straight lines of the window boxes and blazons on the facade; it is found at the bay window, at the windows facing the street and in the double-arched pediment. The double doors at the entrance complement the classic style of the building with decorative garlands and paneling. The windows are high, and the window casing adds an extra touch of elegance; the same role is played by the small iron decorations that serve as fasteners for downspouts. The ground floor is located on a high basement and this lends it presence. Inside, the building requires renovation work but it promises to reward you with spaces with personality that still preserve, in some rooms, the original parquet flooring and stoves with beautiful ironwork. The upper floor is not fully visible from the front; it reveals itself on the side, where there is also a secondary entrance to the building. The unfurnished attic can be lofted as a storage space. The area still retains many buildings from the end of the 19th century, which gives it a bohemian air and guarantees protection from an urban planning point of view. Some of the buildings have been restored and many others are waiting for their chance at a new life. The centrality of the area invites commercial investment in both office space and commercial units and makes it attractive for future developments.

Built in 1913 by merchant Ghiţă Popescu, the house on Speranţei street hides between its walls the charm of one of the central and chic streets of the capital. Located between Carol Boulevard and the Italian Street, it appears with this name in the city plans from the end of the nineteenth century. On this street there was the first home of Mihai Eminescu after his arrival in Bucharest in 1877. Ioan Slavici states that it was a spacious room with a wide anteroom in an old eighteenth-century house. From this street, the poet walked down to the editorial office of the conservative newspaper, Timpul, located on Calea Victoriei, writes Alexandru Ofrim in Old Streets of Nowadays Bucharest. And Mihai Eminescu is not the only important figure in the history of this area. The founder of the Romanian neurosurgery school, Dumitru Bagdasar, also lived on Speranţei Street. Unfortunately, the last decades have affected the elegance of the buildings in the area. However, the house of merchant Ghiţă Popescu is the exception. Nationalized after the 1960s, when owned by Dr. Elias Haim, the residence had over time landlords who have cherished it and who invested a lot in its conservation and restoration - a careful work that turned it into an architectural jewel today. The over 400 square meters of the property on Speranţei street, built on SB+GF+F+A, have recently undergone a meticulous renovation process. After a six-month work, under the coordination of the designer Irina Neacsu, the semi-basement has been transformed into what can be considered one of the most beautiful offices in Romania. Numerous pieces of personalized furniture, British accents in an eclectic setting, digitally drawn wallpapers and then printed on paper, the floor heating, are just a few of the elements that give uniqueness and charm to the property. In fact, it is a modern reinterpretation of a building dominated by classic architectural features specific to the beginning of the nineteenth century Bucharest. The modern terrace offers a wide panorama of the Armenian area of the capital, a landscape dominated by inter-war avant-garde, modernist buildings, along the Neo-Romanian and Eclectic style properties. The villa is available for rent as well.

In Bățanii Mici, a village located between Bățanii Mari and Herculian, in the Baraolt depression, there is this intimate mansion - an elegant and solid building, well maintained, with a high ground floor and a fence matching the stone of the property. Set back from the street, surrounded by a lawned courtyard and a generous paved area, the building impresses with its entrance under a portico with majestic, classicizing columns. The facade is exquisitely decorated with elegant boxes showing plant elements and fine window frames. The annex also has a special charm with its exposed brick façade and discreetly carved reddish wood pillars. Inside, the rooms are spacious and bright, what impresses is the huge library - the mansion belongs to the daughter of Elek Benedek, publicist, writer, educator, creator of Hungarian children's literature and collector of Szekler folklore.

The buildings in the Old Center incite, attract, tempt; we stare at the facades trying to take in everything with our eyes and hope that a heavy door opens, a window with the curtain drawn to see, understand, discern the mystery of these merchant houses that make up the Old City. At number 27 is one of these, large and stylish enough to attract attention and give rise to curiosities. Its French-influenced facade features the typical first-floor wide wrought-iron balcony, floor-to-ceiling windows, and false balconies/balustrades on the second floor. The attic has elegant arched protective gables. The ground floor is a commercial space – traces of the bar can still be seen and echoes of recent laughters can be heard. It is a high space, about 92 square meters; an additional level was built on its side. On the upper floors there are rooms and bathrooms - on the 1st floor we find 6 rooms of 8-30 sqm and 5 bathrooms; the 2nd floor has 6 rooms with surfaces between 7 and 32 m plus 5 sanitary groups and passage spaces. The high and functional bridge measures 391 sq m. Each floor has its own individual cadastral number. The basement also adds ample space, the function of which remains to be explored through the lens of current regulations. There is also an inner courtyard. The apartments are accessed through a separate entrance from that of the commercial space. The building requires repair and renovation and can be converted into an apart-hotel, residential units or space for commercial and cultural activities. An old street of the city, Smârdan street appeared in the 17th century, being known a century later as Uliţa Târgului din Năuntru, then in the 19th century as The bridge that goes from the Old Court to the Şerban Vodă Inn, German or German Street It was called Smârdan after the war of independence. Not far from the property, at number 39, was the old Hotel Concordia in whose room 5 Alexandru Ioan's double election was decided on January 23, 1859. In the villa at number 27 we know that in 1927 Anette Horoviceanu was making haute couture creations parisiennes and in 1938 the Gla Company operated Trade ind. and the representative Electrical items, offices, Electro-Technical - Electrotechnical, enterprises; Romanian Technical Warehouse - Technical Offices, Company Flă. Ind. and Rep. Central heating. Sources: https://turistinbucurestiro.blogspot.com/2014/02/strada-smardan.html Photo: Tudor Prisecaru.

Outside the daily life of Bucharest, just a few minutes from the Băneasa forest, is the Pipera district, with well-structured areas and blocks that benefit from numerous amenities: kindergartens, international schools, restaurants, parks, etc. The property, built in neo-Romanesque style, combines aristocratic fragrance with tradition and good taste. The exterior architecture of this villa is characterised by large windows and wooden balconies, very similar to those of the manor houses. The design of the interior space, based on the concept of a building originally from the USA, has been remodelled for the requirements of a family with children, but also as a space dedicated to guests, using a mix of styles, starting with the classic style and continuing with the rustic-style wooden attic. The location has a bohemian air that invites you to relax, perfectly harmonized with the generous green garden. The house has a built area of 497 square meters, a plot of 1900 square meters and is arranged on three levels, mezzanine, ground floor and first floor. At the entrance there is a living room of 54 square meters with a height of 4 meters, where the fireplace becomes the centre piece. The ground floor is completed by a kitchen area, a dining area, a bedroom and a bathroom, with direct access to the terrace that reveals the entire garden to the viewer. The second exit from the ground floor area leads to the garage which can accommodate two cars. On the first floor there are three bedrooms, one master with integrated bathroom and two bedrooms with shared bathroom. Also in this area is a mixed activity area with office and library. The attic, made mainly of fir wood, has two bedrooms. The basement can serve as a recreation area, perfect for sports or time with friends. The land surrounding the house, totalling 1900 square meters, benefits from a corner of the forest, an orchard with apple, cherry and cherry trees, a flower garden and a greenhouse that can provide the vegetables needed by a family. In addition, it offers the necessary space to add a swimming pool or a special place for children, this option being left to the choice of the future beneficiary.

Innovative concept of vertical urban living, with minimalist architecture. The „Georgia” Townhouse is part of a residential project that brings urban regeneration to front. The concept of this residential project integrates modern architecture in an urban landscape where the French influence architectural styles, such as the classicized eclectic and the later emerged Art Deco intertwine. If we were to transpose this cosy villa into the scent of a perfume, it would be named Belle. The enclave created by the layout of the project resembles a small intimate entrance, characteristic of the streets in the ultra-central area of the Capital. The project, authorized and with a completion date for the second part of 2024, will include 5 townhouse type villas with spaces designed to surprise with utility and provide the necessary comfort for an urban and dynamic lifestyle. The attention to detail is found in every aspect and is the mark of a developer and architects with numerous projects, that decorate the city with splendid modern facets of the new Little Paris. The previous projects are appreciated and built to high standards, both in terms of the quality of the execution and the materials used, as well as through the characteristics that meet the demands of European standards for new residential buildings. The design of this project includes intimate private terraces and gardens, large glazed spaces that make light abound in rooms arranged with an unusual sense of space. The underground parking lots, with individual access to each of the houses, complete the landscape of a modern home. The villa`s layout can also transform it into a multi-family building, having two distinct external access stairs, which go up from the veranda area both to the ground floor and to the first level. One of the assets of this property is the intimate terrace designed on the 1st floor which will also have a future summer kitchen, delightful for the hot summer nights.
