Heat 360

Ukrainian studio Azovskiy&Pahomova Architects transformed a non-residential building near Dnepr river in a spacious and open house surrounded by nature.

The Project Heat 360 is a private house in Dnepr, implemented by Ukrainian studio Azovskiy&Pahomova architects. Architects had to transform the non-residential building in a spacious and open house surrounded by nature. The two-level structure that today is equipped with bath, a living room with a hayloft and a shower, as well as the “musical” bedroom located lower than the main house where the owners live.

An outdoor swimming pool and a small landscaped park with a wooden pier near the river unites two houses, which plays an important role in the family life. Both the house and the area are connected to a single smart home system. To save the logical connection between the two architectural objects the architects decided to use the panoramic windows and a terrace. The canopy over the entrance is made of shingles, and the panoramic window in the bedroom on the first floor plays the role of a large TV, which “translates” the nature all around the year.

During the reconstruction of the buildings no tree was cut, and the existing “construction lawn” stands were skillfully integrated into the roof of the house and terrace. Between the pine trees, which are located in front of the house, a ofuro Japanese bath was designed.
