Selected Work
Built and ongoing projects forming the technical and architectural foundation of our international resort work.
Dolj · Vâlcea · Bucharest, Romania — 2018–2025
The foundation.
§01 — foundationSixteen projects between 2018 and 2025, across Dolj, Vâlcea and Bucharest. Houses, schools, a spa, industrial halls, offices.
Two disciplines carried through each — architecture and structural engineering, from concept to construction.
None of this is a resort. That is the point. Resort work is built on transferable skill: villa-scale craft, the approvals literacy of public buildings, a genuine wellness precedent, and the steel long-span engineering behind industrial halls. The pages that follow read the real portfolio through that lens. The proof is measured, not claimed.
Residential architecture.
§02 — residentialVilla-scale work.
The discipline a resort villa asks for — proportion, material, light, and the framed view — is the discipline of a well-made house. Small plans reward the closest reading.
House in Simnic
LOCATION Simnic, Dolj · YEAR 2021 · TYPOLOGY Private residence · ROLE Architecture + structural engineering
A single-family house resolved as one calm volume. Considered materiality, a measured plan, and openings placed for light and for the view rather than for symmetry alone.
RELEVANCE TO RESORT WORK — the closest analogue to a resort villa: private scale, careful materials, controlled sightlines.
Urban House on Despot Vodă
LOCATION Bucharest · YEAR 2018 · TYPOLOGY Urban residence · ROLE Architecture + structural engineering
A residence on a constrained city plot. The work here is contextual: fitting a considered house into an established street, negotiating party walls, light and privacy within a tight envelope.
RELEVANCE TO RESORT WORK — building well within constraint and context, the everyday condition of a sensitive coastal site.
Public buildings.
§03 — publicInstitutional work runs on rigour and on paperwork.
Public buildings are designed to be inspected, approved and used hard for decades. That literacy — robust detailing and a clean route through statutory approval — transfers directly to permitting a resort in an unfamiliar jurisdiction.
School at Ocolna
LOCATION Ocolna, Dolj · YEAR 2024 · TYPOLOGY Public — education · ROLE Architecture + structural engineering + technical documentation
A public school delivered through the full statutory process. Durable detailing, an accessible plan, and documentation prepared to be reviewed and signed off.
RELEVANCE TO RESORT WORK — approvals literacy and robust detailing at institutional scale: the discipline behind coordinating local sign-off on an international project.
Kindergarten at Benești
LOCATION Benești, Vâlcea · YEAR 2025 · TYPOLOGY Public — education · ROLE Architecture + structural engineering + technical documentation
A kindergarten built to the demands of a young, everyday user group: safe circulation, daylight, warm rooms, and a structure detailed for a long service life.
RELEVANCE TO RESORT WORK — human-scale public architecture with a low-maintenance brief, close in spirit to the shared and back-of-house buildings of a resort.
Spa Center at Gighera — a real spa, designed and detailed for water, humidity and calm.
LOCATION Gighera, Dolj · YEAR 2018 · TYPOLOGY Wellness · ROLE Architecture + structural engineering
The programme is the nearest precedent in the portfolio to the wellness core of a resort: pools, treatment rooms, and the environmental and corrosion-aware detailing that wet spaces require.
RELEVANCE TO RESORT WORK — a genuine wellness precedent. The spa brief is the hospitality brief closest to what a resort asks for — and it is built, not proposed.
Commercial and industrial.
§05 — industrialLong spans, steel, and buildable detailing.
Industrial work is where the engineering is most visible: wide clear spans, prefabricated steel, and a structural model coordinated in Tekla so the frame that is drawn is the frame that is fabricated. Resort superstructures on remote islands lean on exactly this — lightweight, prefabricated, corrosion-aware.
Industrial halls, storage facilities, offices and commercial spaces
LOCATION Dolj / Vâlcea / Bucharest · YEARS 2018–2025 · TYPOLOGY Industrial, storage, office, commercial · ROLE Structural engineering + BIM/Tekla + technical documentation
A body of commercial and industrial buildings across the period. Steel-framed halls and storage buildings designed for long clear spans; office and commercial interiors fitted out to brief. Structures modelled in Tekla Structures and issued as construction-oriented documentation.
RELEVANCE TO RESORT WORK — the long-span, prefabricated, steel engineering that a resort superstructure needs, and the BIM workflow that keeps it buildable on a remote site.
Structural engineering and technical documentation.
§06 — engineering spineThe engineering spine runs through every project above, not beside them.
Reinforced concrete and steel design, seismic and wind analysis, BIM coordination, and construction-oriented documentation are the constant. It is the part of the practice that makes a design buildable — and the part that a resort developer relies on most once concept gives way to construction.
DISCIPLINE Structural engineering · SCOPE Reinforced concrete · steel structures · seismic and wind design · BIM · Tekla Structures · technical coordination · construction documentation · ROLE Engineering lead across the portfolio
RELEVANCE TO RESORT WORK — corrosion-aware detailing, lightweight and prefabricated superstructures, and value engineering, carried from concept to construction, with a documentation set built to be checked.
On honesty.
§07 — on honestyFor international projects — including the Maldives, Greece and other jurisdictions — local approvals, statutory submissions, code compliance and professional sign-off are handled together with local licensed architects, engineers, structural checkers, EIA consultants, coastal/marine specialists, fire consultants and MEP/utilities consultants. The studio is the technical partner. It does not replace local consultants.
The projects on this page are built or ongoing, in Romania. Our resort designs are self-initiated studies, held apart and labelled as such wherever they appear.
