Quadratum Architecture

The two holiday houses in Valea Doftanei are placed on an isolated site, without immediate built surroundings. Their architecture is deliberately restrained: compact pitched-roof volumes, natural-toned façades and generous glazed openings establish a direct relation with the forested landscape and support the idea of a temporary retreat.

The quiet character of the place is reinforced by the specific conditions of the lake, where only electric motor boats are permitted, preserving the calm atmosphere of the setting.

The first of the two Valea Doftanei holiday houses is organised around a simple division between living and private spaces.

The day space is conceived as a generous area, fully open to the landscape, with one side entirely glazed towards the lake and the wooded slope descending to the water. The night space contains the bedrooms, arranged on the ground floor and first floor, while the attic is reserved for a relaxation area and library, conceived as a quieter and more secluded part of the house.

On June 11, Quadratum Architecture will take part in Night of Architecture Studios, organized as part of Bucharest Design Festival.

For one evening, the studio will open its doors to the public, offering visitors a direct insight into the working environment of an architecture office engaged in complex projects.

The program will include presentations of selected portfolio projects, together with an overview of Quadratum’s digital direction: internal workflows, 3D scanning-based surveys, and direct interaction with the robots and equipment used in professional practice.

See you there.

Quadratum Architecture was represented by Vasile Revin, Technical Director, at Baumit Life Challenge 2026, held from 20–22 May in Budapest. The event brought together architects, builders, investors and Baumit partners to award some of the most inspiring façade projects in Europe.

This year’s edition highlighted the façade as both a technical and architectural element, with a focus on materials, colour, texture, construction quality and the relationship between buildings and their urban context.

Thank you Baumit for the invitation.
