Challenge:
Located in the background, harmonizing the complex’s accents with existing buildings standing along the site
Hardships:
- The most difficult part is location of the site. It sits at the intersection of two busy thoroughfares, but is located in the second row, blocked by Dovzhenko Film Studio’s building from the entrance to a Metro station and from viewing from the intersection
Solutions:
- Horizontal lines on facades combine all parts of the building into a single whole, resembling a thread which tightly embraces the façade in some places, and becomes wider and recedes a bit farther elsewhere
- The strips on facades have a functional purpose, serving as the screen for air conditioners
Facts and details:
- 3-minute walking distance from Holosiivska Metro station
- 3-minute walking distance from Holosiivskyi Park with lakes and children’s playgrounds
- The complex includes a supermarket, gym, café and even movie theater
