luxury villa for sale Balotești, 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.

Located in a residential complex on the shores of Grivița Lake, in the northern area of Bucharest, the villa is very special, starting from the quality of construction to the technology used to provide maximum energy efficiency. The complex is situated in the northern area, relatively close to points of interest such as Băneasa Shopping City or Herastrau Park, and with easy access to the city center both by car and public transportation. The neighborhood spans an area of 110,000 square meters, is completely enclosed, and benefits from private access and 24/7 security, as well as a private school covering the needs from nursery to the end of the middle school cycle. Another distinctive feature of the project is the low density of constructions, transforming it into a spacious neighborhood with pedestrian and relaxation areas, and a 225-meter lakefront also designed for the use of residents. An important characteristic is the focus on comfort and efficiency, meaning smart homes and reduced usage costs. Thus, the houses are equipped with heat pumps that provide both heating and cooling, include solar panels that ensure the hot water supply, and are ready for the installation of photovoltaic panels. The villa is solidly built with attention to detail, has a modern appearance, and is made of reinforced concrete frames and brick masonry with 30 cm vertical gaps, 15 cm external insulation, the facade finishing being a combination of thermal system with decorative paint and ventilated facade. The plot of land associated with the villa is 765 square meters, and the villa has a total built area of 558.8 square meters spread over four levels, with a private elevator: basement, ground floor, and 2 floors.

The construction quality, exclusive elements, complex facilities, and the four parking spaces (two outdoor and two underground) make this villa a perfect choice for a five-star lifestyle.

Wrought iron balcony in the reddish chocolate color of the carpentry from another century. Richly ornamented façade, with generous frontispiece and elegant door and window frames with vegetal elements, masquerades, chain and denticles. Beautiful cartouches, the symbol of the egg. All that on the façade. A house that is not too big, but not stingy either - at 328 square meters of usable area, it is much more generous than the narrow façade lets you see, boldly slipped between two other old buildings, already renovated and restored to life. The small property is pretty much everything we love about the old buildings of Bucharest, what gives charm to the old areas and what we imagine when we read Simona Antonescu's novels set in a past Bucharest, where the buildings housed the business and the family under the same roof, only on different levels. In this case, a furrier’s shop, probably flirtatious and fashionable once, today a reminder of the passage of time and styles. With this building we propose Bucharest on a small scale, flirtatious and essentialized in a façade that causes day dreaming and a little benign envy. In addition to the versatility of opportunities to exploit a property with an excellent address - 500m from the University Square - it also offers the chance to contribute to changing the face of the city by recovering and restoring its ageless beauty.
