The inspiration for creating this particular form of the house was examples of modernist small architectural forms, like bus stops, which were actively built on the territory of modern Ukraine in the 1950s. Thus, we, as architects, want to rethink the connection of our Soviet past with the current state of our state.

In the common house, the building was zoned in such a way that the private areas of each family are as far away from each other as possible. But at the same time, they are connected by a large, comfortable, common area.
The main raw material is concrete slabs with marble chips. They completely cover the interior of the house and the facades.
The choice of this particular material was made not only for the benefit of the aesthetic appearance of the building.
