An object with an area of 159 m² combines ancient forms, thermal weight and materials with modern environmental requirements. The facade is insulated, and the plaster must provide protection against fire, earthquakes and passive thermal control, the material says.
Dudik wanted to reflect her Ukrainian roots with a dome, and used concrete in it as a poetic material. The aesthetics of the premises is a hint of brutalism of Soviet times, but with soft organic lines: muffled acoustics, natural light, furniture cut out of boulders, supposedly “growing” from space.
There are no clear boundaries between the walls, landscape and furniture in the interior.
The portal noted that Dudik embodied this project itself – from designing structures, purchasing materials to interior decoration (without contractors and teams). Both the process and the final result of the dome symbolize stability, the ability to adapt, withstand and self -determine.
