The complex features a stunning facade that reflects the essence of traditional Romanian motifs, incorporating intricate details, arched windows, and locally sourced materials to evoke a sense of timeless elegance specific to the concept of modern architecture.
At the heart of the architectural vision lies the unique restaurant-wine cellar, a captivating space where guests can indulge in the finest Romanian cuisine and explore an extensive selection of wines. The wine cellar is designed to exude warmth and intimacy, creating an inviting ambiance that celebrates the art of dining and wine appreciation through traditional Romanian architecture.
Within the Aqua Park, thermal water pools offer guests a sanctuary to relax and immerse themselves in the healing properties of natural springs, surrounded by breathtaking views of Cozia Mountain.

Every detail is meticulously crafted to ensure an unparalleled guest experience, from sumptuous suites adorned with traditional Romanian craftsmanship to state-of-the-art facilities that cater to the demands of every guest.
The architecture of the main facade is characterized by a succession of glazed arches arranged on a panel made of metal riffles.The lighting system of the facade was designed to evoke the shapes that are part of the set of characteristics of the Romanian architectural concept.
The front is flanked by two towers, with the role of access from the parking area to the terrace space located above the restaurant-cramma.Each tower houses a staircase made of solid wood and metal structure specific to a modernist style of architecture.
Through his innovative approach, architect Mihai Dobre has created a destination that celebrates the essence of Romanian culture while blending traditional Romanian architecture with the comforts of modern luxury. Casa Românească stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of architectural excellence, inviting guests to embark on a journey of discovery and indulgence amidst the captivating beauty of the Cozia region.
Architect Mihai Dobre's challenge was to integrate the existing buildings into a unitary concept by modifying the finishes and textures on the facades.Also, the re-compartmentalization of the spaces and the chromatic homogenization of the whole ensemble facilitated the achievement of a coherent composition.
The existing buildings' roofs were made of wood and the new concept generated the need to reinforce them with metal structure.For this intervention, specialists in the design of such structures were called in and a hybrid structure was configured specifically for this location.
As the terrace was closed with vertically sliding glass systems, the decorative panels applied on the exterior were made of riffles to facilitate the cleaning of the glass.
