The restoration of traditional Romanian houses is an increasingly evident trend in recent times. The return from urban to rural areas seems to be a particularly attractive option for young families from crowded cities, who are looking for an alternative lifestyle.
Because proximity to nature and old practices and ways of life seem to be essential conditions for them, the use of traditional building materials is also imposed when restoration is carried out with respect for the specific architecture of the area.
Open GalleryWe can find a specific style in Bucovina, different from that in Oltenia or Transylvania. However, one thing is clear. In these fairytale places, products that are in harmony with the beautiful Romanian rural architecture are those made of wood, ceramics, stone, or other natural materials. These also have the great advantage of being durable and environmentally friendly.
By bringing this superb aesthetic back to life, by encouraging the preservation of the specific traditional style, a cultural heritage is perpetuated, but also crafts and trades that are on the verge of disappearing.
In other countries like Belgium, France, Germany, Spain or Italy, the use of ceramic tiles or bricks on a large scale is a custom ingrained in the DNA of both builders and clients alike. The beautiful reddish or gray roofs, patinated by the passage of time, which take on dozens of shades in the sun's rays are a true visual spectacle.
We are happy to see that in Romania too, this trend of returning to traditions has begun to take shape and we are delighted to observe that an increasing number of owners have the courage to undertake this type of project.
