Residential Complex, Kyiv Slavutych

A manifest of simplicity, a manifest of uniformity. This is not five standard towers repeating each other, but a single composition featuring different-height accents joined by a stylobate.

Awards and recognitions

Best Residental High-rise Architecture in 2016 by Europe Property Awards Architecture 2016-2017

Objective: Creating a multifunctional comfort-class residential complex

Challenge:

Creating a property that would set trend for development of the surrounding architecture. The property’s location along the busy thoroughfare leading from Boryspil Airport to the center of Kyiv implies responsibility and presents a challenge of creating a landmark property at the entrance to the city’s historical part.

Hardships:

The first multifunctional complex with such a sophisticated infrastructure in our practice

Solutions:

A contrasting, pure architectural form against the backdrop of the existing heterogeneous, fragmented development of Kharkivskyi residential district

Abolishing the window as a unit by using the “mesh” technique, thus ensuring that façade is perceived as a single whole enveloped by a geometrical mesh of white columns

The outer row of load-bearing columns stands beyond the façade, thus allowing for free design of apartment layouts

We were able to achieve a high optimization rate of the frame’s material consumption, making it one of our best properties in terms of material consumption by the frame

The complex includes an underground parking for 335 cars, a fitness center with a swimming pool, stores, café and beauty salon on the first floor, and a 75-seat kindergarten, all located in the stylobate part

The stylobate’s roof is used as a pedestrian courtyard which has a sports zone, a playground for children of older age, a playground for children of younger age, and a quiet rest area

A solution for the swimming pool’s skylights in the fitness center is provided by a sliced of artificial hills covered in grass

To make sure that passageway tunnels under the pedestrian space are not dark and purely utilitarian, the architects provided for inserts in the pavement in some places, made of color glass beams and forming blinds of some sort

Facts and details:

The complex consists of five differently-oriented, different-height (ranging from 12 to 26 stories) residential towers with trapezoid-like base, joined by a stylobate

In fact, the unusual trapezoid-like shape of the towers’ base is for a reason: its configuration was designed on the basis of calculations allowing to provide the necessary insolation while preserving useful space

90% of apartments were sold before the monolith work was completed

Total space of apartments: 71,083 sq.m

Total number of apartments: 1204
