Residential complex 31

The plot is located in the residential area of Kyiv on the Left Bank of the Dnipro. It is dominated by residential buildings with diverse, chaotic, and indistinct architecture.It’s surrounded by residential buildings on two sides. Their architecture is metric and "dry". Typical solutions are clearly traced in the architecture. We tried to fit into the context of the existing building development. The chosen concept is two volumes of 9 and 16 floors, united by a stylobate part. We divided the two volumes into smaller "boxes" and turned each of them to a detailed calculated angle. These angles are formed by insolation restrictions, view characteristics, and orientation relative to the loud avenue. Due to the rotation of the sections, it was possible not only to provide beautiful views from almost every apartment in the house but also to cover more green space and get a variety of views: some windows can face the park, others - the lake. Also, turning the facades at an angle from the avenue, managed to protect it from direct noise from the avenue to the windows of the house. It also reduced the noise pressure on it. The complex consists of the following functional blocks: • two residential blocks • commercial unit • underground unit The commercial block contains: • offices • commercial premises • public catering • sports hall for the residents of the complex • music school for the residents of the complex • lobby for residents of the complex 134 apartments with an area from 44 to 163 m2 are planned in the residential blocks. We designed the volume of the stylobate part of the complex in such way as to get a nice access to the driveway with a green island in the middle. Due to the stylobate, we got two categories of space. The first space is public one. Here we concentrated the main infrastructure: cafes, restaurants, etc. not only for the residents of our complex but also for the whole district. There’s a promenade along the lake to which we have provided with a barrier-free transit from the complex. The second one is private space. This space is above ground level, on the exploited area of the stylobate part, and is accessible only to residents of the complex. Because there is a playground, chamber recreation areas, lots of greenery, and private terraces on the first floors for a comfortable pastime.
