Unique Properties: The priority in the design and construction was the respect for the place and the preservation of existing green spaces, since the house is located in a unique place. It is a mixed forest located within the city. X-House interacts with the environment through a large area of panoramic glazing, thus integrating nature into the interior space of the house, making it a unique interior accent.
Dimensions & Packaging: Area: 460 square meters

Production Technology: The cantilever roof outlets and terraces of the second floor, which form graphic broken lines around the main volume of the house, implemented in reinforced concrete structures were of particular interest to architects.The exterior of the house is made of natural materials - porcelain stoneware, metal, wooden elements, fiber-cement panels - which support the general idea of connection with nature, “enter into dialogue” with the place, and do not contradict it.
Inspiration: Surrounded by a pure natural landscape, a phenomenon which is always unique in itself, architects wanted to turn to the basic principles and fundamental foundations of all applied disciplines - the play of light and shadow, volume and emptiness, combinations of contrast and nuance.
Project Duration: Project started in September 2017 and finished around January 2019, in Kharkiv, Ukraine.
Team Members: Muratov Maksym, Borodaienko Tanya
