Award and recognition: WAF (World Architecture Festival) - Shortlist in nomination Residential - future project, 2020-2021
Our new project for Lviv. Everything we love - low-rise buildings, close to the center, many functions, and new public spaces! The site is small but faces two streets, residential buildings in a secluded part, and an office and hotel block with new public spaces along Chornovola Street, which leads directly to the city center. Let's start with housing. We have studied surrounding buildings on Lemivs`ka Street, the parcels' width, and the number and pitch of windows in them. The first line of our residential building is visually divided into four facades, four floors high, behind the indentation by the terrace's width, we added two more floors to the height. To maintain the street's silhouette, we have increased the ceiling height in some apartments on the upper floors to 4.2 m. Since the height restrictions in the central part of the site were lower, there are two 12-storey "skyscrapers" here.)) One of them is for apartments with a kindergarten on the ground floor. They are all united by an inner pedestrian courtyard. On the ground floors, from the courtyard side, we placed apartments with terraces, and from the street side, there are cafes, restaurants, shops, and an entrance to the underground parking. With this, we externally approve the spirit of the place and support the surrounding historical buildings, but functionally consider all the actual needs for residents in the future.
