VINNYTSIA
Reconstruction, extension, landscaping, interior design of single-family detached house.
At the end of 2019 came to our office a project that was a great challenge: to rethink a single-family house of 1,500 m2, which although built a few years ago, the construction system, was close to the methods of the early twentieth century.
Located in the southeast of Ukraine, on the outskirts of Vinnytisa, and surrounded by forests and rivers, we inherited an unfinished container, with a configuration and appearance far removed from today’s western canons,
We respected the inherited structure, which could be summarized in five modules of load-bearing walls. We opened all of them towards the interior of the plot and towards the street, improving cross ventilation and views and dematerializing its tectonic character.
Functionally, the house gains in privacy as you go up the stairs.
The semi-basement floor houses the service quarters, storerooms, utility rooms, games room, music room, sauna, gym, indoor pool and wine cellar.
On the first floor are the kitchens, dining room, meeting areas and guest room. While on the second floor are the library and all the bedrooms of the family members.
A barbecue area, summer cinema and chill-out, is located almost in the middle of the garden, enjoying the views of the river and the landscape. Avoiding the shadows of the main building to extend the baths in the pool in the summer season.
The proposal is completed with a landscaping project, which is designed with a focus on a low maintenance sustainable garden, lighting and the importance of the night effect, lightness through textures and decorative elements, and natural materials.
The Russian attack happened in early 2022, left on stand-by the start of the work.
In the meantime, we leave some images that define the project in all its magnitude, and that like Ukrainian citizens look forward to one day end this war.
