Home, office, and workshop are the whole world for one modern family from Dnipro. In 2007, the purchased land plot was located in a depressed area, among half-abandoned private buildings. The construction took 14 years. The emergence of a small multifunctional facility in this location contributed to the growth of business interest in the area. Small private investors began to develop it. Reconstructed private buildings, a well-maintained parking lot, a pizzeria and a shop, and street lighting are just the beginning of the transformation of the area for safety and future well-being, which the owner had to fight for years.

The compact volume of the building invites visitors to enter together thanks to the bright protruding elements of the main facade. The floating corners of the building add lightness and dynamism to the overall solution. The wings of the second-floor house the home and office.

The interior of the office and workshop is made exclusively of locally produced materials (concrete, brick, metal, glass). Expressive textures, sophisticated product design, and rays of sunlight playing on corrugated surfaces create an original atmosphere of a space capable of generating the energy of creation.

The common room and some of the rooms are formed around a giant lantern. This way, daylight enters the main volume, which has practically no windows in the outer walls, evoking a feeling of lightness and space.
