OKO HOUSE

01-Every night sculptures come to life, trees awaken from the day nap, stone gardens start moving, and the story begins. . . 02-This one is about the latest architectural project by MAKHNO Studio, which is located in the suburb of Kyiv, Ukraine. . . 03-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. The backyard (lower level), which is separated from the living part (upper level) 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. . The opposite part of the house is the main facade, where there are a garage and entrance to the territory. . It is minimalist and monumental and it doesn’t reveal all the secrets.
