LOCATION | The pine forest in the Kiev region of Ukraine.
MISSION | To preserve the beauty of the natural landscape, and create a light- filled, comfortable and cozy space for a young family of five.
VISION | The cube concept used by the architect created an optical illusion that makes the house appear much bigger than its much smaller size: The area of the plot is 700 square meters, while the floor space is 200 square meters.
