Project description in English
The building that houses the restaurant is located in the center of Câmpulung Moldovenesc and dates back to the early 20th century.
Historical photographs, postcards, and advertisements from the interwar period were used to identify several stages in the building's evolution. In the 1935 tourist, spa, and climate guide of Câmpulung County, an advertisement referring to the building and its owner, Dr. I. Svoracovschi, was discovered. At that time, the building hosted a guesthouse known as "Park," offering guests 14 comfortable rooms, favorably oriented and surrounded by a vast private garden. In 1950, the building was requisitioned and transformed into a Pioneers' House after the decree of nationalization of properties.
After the revolution, it housed the Children's Club and was later returned to the rightful owners. In 2022, a rehabilitation process was initiated by two local entrepreneurs after a period of being closed.
The intervention aimed to change the building's function and enhance the green space in front of it, while preserving the original volumetry and restoring the image from the interwar period. New interventions were distinctly marked to reflect the different stages in the building's evolution.
