Roman traditional houses

Original architecture element and exact to Romanian rustic architecture, the verandah (prispa) is low or high, situated on one side of the house or on of house, with or without a balcony, it dominates and determine the position of the facades, assuring the fluency of the inside and outside spaces (of the house).
Using natural resources-their joining and structure way together with the pure geometric forms of the volume of the walls and roofs, the subtle dosage of the shadow and the light, the harmonic chromatics- all these characteristics are elements in tight association with the nature. The houses, the house-holds, situated at a certain distance from the road, represent interference points of the natural places with those created by man; they are elements that determined the peasant to make a change in the nature through his creative intervention.
