The placement of the building on a high plateau provides a wide, generous, unrestricted view of the valley.

One of the very few fully renovated manors available in Bucharest's vicinity is located in Vadu-Lat, Giurgiu county. Only 51 km away from Bucharest, Radu Iliescu Manor can instantly become a permanent residence away from the buzz of the big city but with a fairly easy access to all its interest points, or it can become a weekend or vacation residence with all facilities and amenities needed. Built in 1900, the manor is listed as a historical and architectural monument of local importance, and it was fully renovated with a lot of attention for the details and great care for restoration and preservation of the original elements, and then furnished and decorated in line with its character and its history. The manor is set on a 3.834 land plot, with turf, stone alleys, ornamental landscape and a big orchard with fruit trees. We find also a few additional smaller constructions: a gazebo, a stand-alone house of the guardian that is fully renovated and ready-to-use, an old barn that is restored and used for decorative purpose, and a building that was used as stables and that is now transformed in 3 distinct rooms used as workshop, distillery and storage. The manor is built on two levels, semi-basement and ground floor, and since 2009 it is owned by a family who took care of the restoration process, a very thorough one, made using traditional methods and materials. After renovation the place was tastefully designed, from the garden's landscape all the way to furniture and the authentic decor pieces.If what you want is a property with an aristocratic heritage, that looks and feels authentic and natural, that happily blends together nature and history, then the Vadu-Lat manor may be your best choice!

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
