luxury villa for sale Otopeni, Romania
Villa Otopeni (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 a Romanian saying that holds each individual accountable for planting a tree, having a child and building a house during a lifetime, only the road is not strainght for everyone. Sometimes we trim trees planted by other hands, raise children with different DNA and make ours houses originally designed for other families. In the case of the house, this order of things can be a blessing in disguise - between dream and reality, between the drawing board and the final quote, syncopes, derailments and communication errors can happen so that the final result is accepted with regret, assimilated with embarrassment because it constantly reminds us the failure to translate imagination into practice. Having a ready-made house has the advantage of showing you first hand how it solve d one challenge or another, how it negotiated space and light, volume and comfort, concrete and turf. It's easy to feel its atmosphere, to qualify the vibe and evaluate what can be done to make it home moulded to your needs and expectations.

This is why the entire area is home to plenty of historical venues like Balamuci Monastery, Lecca Manor, or “Saint Nicholas” Church that dates back to 1631 , on top of plenty other old buildings and churcjes that are not listed as monuments. One of these is also Desliu Manor, built at the end of the 19th Century, a building that tells the stories of an old boyar family that had significant relevance in the political and cultural life of Romania during the 19th and early 20th century. “The Desliu’s” were a boyar family in Ţara Românească, going few generations back. The name has Turkish origins, but does it imply also the ethnic source? “ is the question that the historian Sorin Mihai Radulescu is asking in his book “ On the genealogy of Ana Aman” in which he is following a few branches of the Desliu family for a period of 150 years. Desliu Manor is a a very solid and sobre looking building, with focus on the functionality and not on the decoration of the building. The manor has a footprint of 256 sqm, witn 5 rooms and a vig hallway at the ground floor level, plus an 140 sqm basement that can be transformed by the will and the desire of the future owner into usable space. The land plot is large, offering a total of 2,740 sqm with plenty of usage options . The manor is in need of a complete renovation, but its history, the proximity to Bucharest and the large land plot that offer access to utilities make it a great opportunity for a vacation house or a commercial development.
