What andreescu gaivoronschi does

Andreescu and Gaivoronschi associated architects (legal entity: S.C. ANDREESCU & GAIVORONSCHI s.r.l.) is a Romanian architectural practice founded in 1990 by professors and architects Ioan Andreescu and Vlad Gaivoronschi, headquartered in Timișoara at Piata Sfantu Gheorghe Square No.4. The firm operates as a full-service architecture practice delivering architectural design (residential, commercial, office, hotels, institutions, interior), urban design and masterplanning, landscape architecture, urban planning (PUZ/PUD), and heritage conservation and adaptive reuse, with a documented team of 13+ architects and a portfolio of 68+ projects executed between 1991 and 2023.

The practice is known for complex urban-regeneration projects that transform industrial brownfield sites into mixed-use districts, exemplified by landmark projects including ISHO (200,000 sqm, 5.6 ha in Timișoara with Take Project), The Office Cluj-Napoca (100,437 sqm), City Business Centre Timișoara (60,000 sqm), and 700 Market (87,906 sqm). The firm has received two Mies van der Rohe European Union Prize nominations, World Architecture Festival shortlistings, German Design Awards, and UIA '100 Architects of the Year' listings. Client mix spans real estate developers, hotel operators, municipal governments (Timișoara, Arad, Berzasca), educational and religious institutions, and private residential clients, primarily in western and central Romania with occasional international commissions in Germany.

The firm generates revenue through project-specific professional services fees, with work acquired via direct commissions, private developer relationships, and a deliberate use of open design competitions as a channel for public-sector work. Operations are concentrated in western Romania (Timișoara, Cluj-Napoca, Arad, Buziaș) with selective international activity in Germany. The firm is privately held by its founding partners with no disclosed external investment, funding rounds, parent entity, or M&A activity.
