01Overview

Project overview

Located in the Durlesti area near Chișinău, “Voloshin Banya” is a unique bath complex integrated into the natural landscape. The design is inspired by mythology and folklore, featuring organic forms and references to hobbit-style architecture, expressing a strong connection between humans and nature. Sustainability is a key concept, with the building fully embedded into the hillside to ensure natural protection and a stable indoor microclimate through the earth’s thermal insulation. The project has received international awards, including the Platinum Award for Sustainable Green Architecture and the Gold Award for Hospitality and Hotel Design at the International Architecture & Design Awards.

Designed by Serghei MĂŽrza, LH 47 with Alverde Grup SRL, the building expresses a clear architectural vision - Alukönigstahl systems were specified to realise that intent while meeting demanding performance targets.

Located in Chișinău, Rep. Moldova, Moldova, this retail & wholesale project demonstrates how the right combination of window, façade and shading systems delivers measurable performance in a real architectural context.
