Project description by ArchObraz
A laconic house in the suburbs of the Dnipro River is elegantly integrated into the surrounding forest without changing the landscape.
The ascetic form of the house hides overall energy efficiency: the stained-glass windows are oriented to the southeast and southwest, which is the most effective for this region of Ukraine.
A heat pump is used for heating, hot water supply, air conditioning and recuperative ventilation. The stained glass windows have built-in electric heating for winter heating, developed by a local company.
Exterior cladding and interior decoration follow the rational use of local natural resources - metal and wood. As a result, the cottage is stylistically harmonious with the environment and gives a feeling of unity with nature.
