In this suburban location, we have combined Japanese aesthetics with ancient Hutsul traditions. Simple is enough. Everything inside and outside the house is the embodiment of perfect simplicity.
The main wish of our Cosmos Client was a minimum of objects and a maximum of air. That’s why the house has so many closed areas, secret places for solitude with the view. You breathe with the air, not things.
We had a few tasks. First and foremost: combine not intense halftones with accent details. Then, we had to avoid sharp corners, design the floor on the same level and suspended furniture, because it will be a vacuum cleaner robot responsible for the cleanliness of the first floor.
Other tasks include:
- Design of a few small zen spaces for guests where they can hide to read a book or make a work-related call;
- create a private space for the Cosmos Client, which can exist independently of the rest of the space and which cannot be accessed from the outside;
- make sure the Cosmos Client has a view of the guest block of the house and can watch his friends rest in the evenings.
Spoiler! We fulfilled this wish at the design stage. We moved the window in the corridor so that it was in front of the window in the guest block.
At the architectural stage, we wanted to add a window in the bedroom, but later we decided not to. At the interior stage, we realized that the window is necessary there. This is how a narrow horizontal window appeared high enough for the owner to catch the first rays of the sun.
Imagine watching the colours change from green to white right from the bedroom window. A live picture that differs every season.
