What makes it special?

What does it mean to stay at Aries House?
You don’t just come here to sleep. You come here to rediscover yourself. To recharge your batteries in a space where tradition is palpable, and design speaks through forms and textures.
Aries House welcomes you with a unique energy: a house where you don’t just reside, but truly feel. Every object tells a story.

Unique in Oberwood

Aries House has a dominant personality. It is a house that inspires respect, arouses curiosity and admiration. While other dwellings embrace the visitor with delicacy, this one challenges them to remember who they are. It is powerful, just like the symbol that defines it.

The story of the house

The relationship with Casa Soare
Oberwood is about balance. And in this balance, Casa Soare and Aries House form a symbolic duo: the solar feminine, warm, peaceful – and the telluric masculine, raw, unfiltered.
If you’ve already visited Casa Soare, you’ll immediately understand the contrast. If not, Aries House will hit you directly: with power, but also with wisdom.

The symbolism of ram horns

The ram’s horns symbolize power, masculinity, strength, and energy. Therefore, you are staying in a masculine house, dominated by black and gray, with red accents, specific to explosive force.

The presence of planes on the walls and the carpenter’s workbench represents the strength of manual labor. The shapes of the objects are raw, masculine, precise, and the neon tubes represent those rays of sunshine that transform on earth.

The design is honest. No artifice. Just tradition and respect for craftsmanship.

Design and atmosphere

Color palette and inspiration

The interior design is dominated by matte black, cool grays, and red accents – a bold choice, but perfectly suited to the spirit of the house. Here, every element clearly conveys: you are in a space with character.

Emblematic objects

Planes – reconditioned and displayed, as a reverence to the village craftsmen.
Carpenter's workbench – the centerpiece in the kitchen, bringing the past into the present.
Exposed hardware and visible beams – every detail is honest, raw, unembellished.

Masculine forms, right angles

The furniture has volume, firm edges, and straight lines. It is a design statement: no compromises, no unnecessary decorative curves. Just the essential, but executed flawlessly.

Available spaces

The two Open Space bedrooms
Both rooms offer generous space, 1 comfortable double bed downstairs and two single beds upstairs, restored traditional furniture, and warm, controlled lighting. The dark wooden walls provide a sense of protection and intimacy.

Integrated kitchen
It is the heart of the home. This is where laughter is shared, stories are told, and coffee is enjoyed together. The kitchen is discreetly integrated into the traditional space. The solid wood table creates a natural gathering place.

The bathroom – functionality with style
Slate-toned tiles, black metallic accents, lacquered wood. Everything in harmony with the rest of the house. It’s not just a bathroom – it’s part of the story.

The Hall – the first contact with the spirit of the Aries
Right from the entrance, the details convey: a powerful experience awaits. Planes displayed on the wall, an old rug, and wooden objects – each element has its role.

What do you feel when you stay here?

Masculine, authentic, energizing atmosphere
Aries House isn’t just beautiful, it’s alive. It makes you change your rhythm and fully feel the present.

You don’t just stay here. Here you live a story with the scent of old wood and silence.

— Livia M., guest from Bucharest

Location and proximity
Aries House is located between Casa Soare and Flower of Life House. You can easily reach the other houses, but you will experience complete privacy.

Aries House is like a warm fortress. A beautiful paradox between strength and intimacy.
