Istrate

A house for a young couple who knew exactly what they wanted from us: the concept, the technical project and the cost estimate. The rest they would do themselves, at their own pace.
They wanted a good idea, achievable and special to them. Not a project that is beautiful only on paper, but one they could carry through with their own hands and budget, step by step.
So we worked with two concerns at the same time: for it to have soul and to be clear. Warm tones, wood, soft light filtered through curtains, a glass block wall by the stairs letting the light through, built-in bookcases and light fittings that become small objects to look at. Everything carefully drawn and designed to be built without surprises.
A project that doesn't end when it's handed over, but only begins then. A home they will make themselves, but which belongs to them from the first line.
