First Marriott Courtyard in Romania has been built in Pipera area Bucharest targeting the business district of the city. 

The hotel offers an ultra-contemporary, intense, and distinct presence.






The source of inspiration was the almost square shape of the land, which extruded would have generated a monolithic volume. If the first levels dedicated to the public and open to them are «slices» cut horizontally in the monolith, the upper floors with the 259 rooms are arranged in an L volume detached vertically from the monolith.



The first levels are permeable to the view with large 6m high clear glass facades, the upper floors are opaque with glass mesh for the rooms and the last section of the volume is delimited by prismatic closures made of sheet metal with the quality from non-perforated to perforated as it meets the sky 

The entire building is uniformly treated in two shades of urban gray: the light gray volume and the interior cuts in dark gray monolith. The interior spaces are well sized, balanced and bright.

Cumulus wins 3rd prize @ ”Colentina Lakes” Competition

The competition aimed to develop the landscaping of the Colentina lakeshores over the entire length comprised in the 2nd District. By analyzing the geographical context we discover that Bucharest is not a flat city. Actually, the flat does not exist, there is always a slope of a few centimeters, of a few meters or sometimes of even 10 meters. Therefore, our proposal follows to rediscover the subtle slopes.
