Project

Casa Tohatin

The "Casa Tohatin" project represents a single-family home situated on a hill with panoramic views of Chișinău. The design is conceived to maximize natural light and integration with nature through glazed facades and wooden finishes. The covered terrace and green atrium add aesthetic and functional value, creating a seamless connection with the surrounding landscape.

The building’s facades are finished with wooden slats, adding a warm and contemporary character, harmoniously blending into the natural surroundings. The project includes a generous terrace covered with a modern canopy, featuring an atrium that houses a green area. This solution not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also creates a direct connection with nature, increasing residents’ comfort and emphasizing quality of life.

Challenge
The house design is distinguished by a contemporary architectural style, characterized by clean lines and balanced geometric volumes. The facades are finished with natural wood panels, combined with structural glass, creating a visual interplay between organic textures and modern surfaces. Large windows allow abundant natural light and provide wide views of the garden. Elements such as wooden pergolas and subtle metal panels add visual depth, while premium finishes emphasize the residence’s sophisticated character. The landscaping integrates native vegetation and paved paths, highlighting the connection between architecture and nature.

Concept
The project is based on an architectural concept centered on continuity between interior and exterior. Simple volumetry and natural materials support a modern aesthetic focused on sustainability and energy efficiency. The house structure is organized around an interior courtyard, which serves as a green nucleus, ensuring natural light and ventilation. Covered terraces and large openings contribute to creating fluid transition areas between indoor spaces and the environment. The use of eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient technologies reflects the project’s commitment to sustainability and long-term comfort.
