During the year 1999 the Ionescu house was finished, covered in Șanovița stone, wood and with a squared atrium in the middle – an introverted house, rugged on the outside and smooth and green on the inside. Its outside space was animated by the pool and the largefire pavilion floating over its surface. Years have passed and the family grew, nature itself conquered the outer space and the house, due to its materiality – wood and stone – aged and got patina. Becoming overcrowded, the house had to grow and that happened by contrast, the new living-room - terrace being built in harmony with the existing house and fireplace due to the common materiality of the wood, but from a spatial point of view in a total contrast, an inversion of the inside atrium, opening itself generously to the exterior. It is a flexible pavilion, able to be fully open or completely closed. The whole ensemble reflects the way architecture can grow and age together with its inhabitants. The old topic of the dialectical principle of the opposites materialized in the old project was straightened by the new pavilion; there is a positive-negative relation with the old inner atrium, inverted from the perspective of the inside-outside relationship.
