a contemporary home designed for rural ukraine

 

Kiev-based architecture and interior design firm Sirotov Architects conceptualizes a hilltop dwelling in Ukraine. The house, entitled ‘mmz1h(e),’ is recognized at once by its open-beam structural concept and its material palette of raw and austere concrete. With this simple three-dimensional grid, the envisioned architecture negotiates the slope of the landscape. Thus, the entrance of the house is located atop the roof, with the interiors opening broadly out toward the sweeping meadowed views beyond.

The owners can admire the view from all the key rooms of the house,’ explains lead architect Igor Sirotov, describing the spirit of the house in Ukraine. ‘It was our first open-beam project. We used our favorite concrete material for exterior finishing.’

 

The mmz1h(e) house takes shape as a simple concrete box, its main facade facing the vast landscape opening out through a double height array of large windows. From the entrance perspective along the opposite side, the structure appears in contrast as a low and fully enclosed volume. This main box is surrounded by the three-dimensional grid structure, its array of columns and beams demarcating the boundaries of an outdoor terrace which appears to float lightly over the grassy slope.

Architect Igor Sirotov continues, explaining the team’s process in designing the mmz1h(e) house:In order not to deviate from the concept, we decided to make a custom made Jacuzzi fully covered by concrete. On the terrace you can see minimalist but bright furniture, it makes house more friendly. We tried to make the house as environmentally friendly as possible, solar panels are located on the roof, it also can be exploitable, if necessary.’
