CVG House

Project description

The project unfolds the remodeling of a 90s house according to the needs of a family living their lives between the diaspora and the country. One of the main drivers of the project was to create a backdrop for the social life of the family and its dynamics in their new home. The core of the house thus resides at the intersection between the living room and the kitchen. The furnishing strategy of the two spaces allows for, if necessary, their merger, making the boundary between them almost imperceptible. The interiors of the house are set apart by the simple yet elegant custom-made furniture, dominated by sober colors and textures: white (furniture, metal works, ceramic tiles), gray (exposed concrete elements, floors and furniture) and dark brown (upholstery, wooden and veneered furniture), perked up by the presence of colored furniture and decoration objects (the hanger, coffee / tea tables, upholstery, appliances, furniture accessories, climbing sockets or nightstands).

Author's presentation text

ateliercetrei, written in one word in lowercase letters, is a partnership practicing architecture, interior architecture, design, urban planning and cultural analysis trying to bring together academia, design research and professional practice. The one word stands for unity, while the lowercase letters are meant to offer a nod to the Bauhaus notion of a non-hierarchical language, reinforcing our ethos of democratic partnership. The practice is led by two partners in charge of the different ongoing projects: Anamaria Moldovan and Paul-Mihai Moldovan.
