DAMBA is a concept for a private house situated in a cottage community in the Kyiv region. Positioned on the shore of the Kyiv Sea, our goal was to visually recreate the image of an upscale yacht near the water. By utilizing large panoramic windows that reflect the water, we achieved the effect of the house appearing to float on the sea. This design not only enhances aesthetic harmony but also leverages the natural beauty of the location.
Plasticity is the central theme of the architectural form of this house. It stands out with its horizontal lines of substantial white slabs bridging between floors, reminiscent of yacht decks. This design choice creates a seamless blend between the structure and its maritime inspiration, further enhancing the luxurious feel of the property.
The client's primary objective was to create a versatile concept for the entire cottage community. While DAMBA may initially appear as an individual design tailored to a private request, it actually represents a modular approach. We developed combinations of interior spaces that can be adapted based on the needs of future residents without compromising the visual unity of the entire community. This flexibility ensures that each home can meet the unique requirements of its inhabitants while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic throughout the development.
In essence, DAMBA is more than just a private house; it is a versatile architectural solution that brings together luxury, functionality, and harmony with its natural surroundings. This project showcases how thoughtful design can create visually stunning and adaptable living spaces that cater to diverse needs within a unified community.
