HAVEN

The concept for "Haven" was inspired by the desire to merge elegance with nature. The architectural team, led by Ihor Martin and Olga Novikova, decided to use wooden cladding with a standing seam for both the interior and exterior, which provides the house with a natural warmth and ensures it blends seamlessly with the surrounding forested landscape. The design aimed to create a feeling of openness within the home, with large windows and sliding doors that blur the line between indoor and outdoor spaces, maximizing the enjoyment of the beautiful surroundings. The house spans 216 square meters and includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a playroom, a small technical kitchen, and a main area that combines the living room, dining room, and kitchen. The spacious living room serves as the heart of the home, ideal for hosting guests and family gatherings. The kitchen island, equipped with a sink and built-in stovetop with an integrated extractor, not only functions as a cooking area but also as a communal space for socializing. One of the most popular features among the residents is the fireplace, which becomes a central gathering spot during winter. Special attention was given to the design of the staircase, which elegantly integrates into the living room's interior. Large windows with sliding doors allow for maximum enjoyment of nature during warmer months, seamlessly connecting the interior and exterior spaces.
