This single-family house commissioned from the Ukrainian studio ArchObraz, led by Aleksey Obraztsov architect, is located in a pine forest near the city of Dnipro, crossed by the Dnieper River (which gives it its name), in the centre of Ukraine. It is the fourth most populous city in the country.
The house was designed taking as a strategy that its ecological footprint was as small as possible and that its implementation achieved integration with the surrounding forest without changing the surrounding landscape.

The design proposed by Aleksey Obraztsov focused its efforts on making the house highly efficient energy, orienting the largest openings to the southeast and southwest, which is the best orientation in this region of Ukraine.
The house is organized in a rectangular volume with two floors. On the ground floor is the main program of the house, with a double-height living room, dining room, kitchen, master bedroom, parking and storage area, among other parts of the program. On the second floor, there are two large bedrooms, one of them with a large terrace.

«When we work on the facade of this building and its interior decoration, we follow the principle of rational use of local natural resources: metal and wood. Thanks to it, it became stylistically harmonious with the environment, giving a feeling of complete unity with nature.»

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.
