Public Choice Award

For ten years, Beta has been awarding quality architectural initiatives and projects in Romania, Hungary and Serbia. The international jury for each edition is made up of renowned architects, and the awards reflect our determination to promote authors and projects with a beneficial impact on the built environment.

For the first time in this competition, we have introduced the People's Award, through which we aim to improve the connection between architects and the general public, emphasizing the importance of architecture that directly addresses the values and needs of society.

We all live in and use the city and the spaces that architects design, so we want the Beta Awards to recognize the preferences of the general public. The Public Award is our way of bringing quality architecture closer to the general public and promoting those architectural projects that make us proud of the cities we live in. Each person can vote for one project in the categories of Built Space, Interior Space, Public Space, Graduate Projects and Research.

The public vote will be open together with the awards exhibition and will run until the end of the competition, when the project with the most votes will be awarded at the Beta 2024 Awards Gala.

PIESAA is an architectural studio based in Bucharest formed of Petre Andreea, Ichim Laura, Enache Loredana and Sălăvăstru Ștefan. They met at the “Ion Mincu” University of Architecture in Bucharest and have collaborated on various competitions, workshops and projects since then. The studio was officially established at the beginning of 2024. Among their notable works, the project “House for a Garden” won 1st prize at the Romanian Architecture Annual in 2022, “Structures for a Community” was selected for the Romanian Architecture Biennale in 2023, and “A Home for Travelers” was nominated at the Regional Architecture Moldova in 2024.

Project description in English

The house is part of a sustainable residential complex, built according to passive house standards, which successfully combines bioclimatic principles in harmony with the surrounding environment. At the heart of the design concept was the desire to find a balance between modernity and a touch of elegance. The focus was on creating airy rooms adapted to the needs of the family and every corner was designed to offer generous and discreet storage solutions. In the living room, the focal point of the home, a custom bookcase displays souvenirs and books collected from travels, adding a personal touch to their passion. The child's room was designed in harmony with his current interest in the cosmos. The focal point of the room is the desk, designed to meet the needs of the growing child and provide an adaptable environment for stimulating creativity and learning. In the master bedroom the furniture, drapery and headboard are carefully arranged to form a subtle median line, giving an elegant architectural look and cozy atmosphere.
