The project was completed by Makhno Studio.which is located in the suburb of Kyiv, Ukraine.Two-level residence Oko House is named after the key element of the facade – a round window in steel partitions for almost the entire space of the house. Through this “eye”, owners and guests of the house have a view of the natural green landscape.
Backyard , that is separated from a living part by a concrete gate, exactly imitates a Japanese garden – there are bonsai trees, various types of mosses and other oriental plants, Japanese lanterns and an artificial pond. In the pond, there is a man-size sculpture “Rain” by Nazar Bilyk.Sliding doors of the lower terrace also give out Japanese culture in the project.
The project is filled with art objects by Ukrainian artists: in a concrete arch, in front of it, behind the central gate, at the exit from the terrace. Opposite part of the house is the main facade, where there are a garage and entrance to the territory. It is minimalist, monumental and it doesn’t reveal all the secrets.
