Kintsugi. A Japanese mending technique when shattered pieces of a desired object get put back together using a filling liquid of choice.
So just like that, we proposed a sustainable, fast way to rebuild the devastated Ukraine. For exteriors we only used concrete that was damaged by Russian shelling or gunfire, trying to implement as much of the damaged infrastructure as possible to our newly baked housing. Furthermore, we were presented with an opportunity to form a better, improved urban layout of these given mass housing districts, using kintsugi micro houses as new units of molding space and bringing order to modernist free planning ideals.
The interior plan was created in a way to provide as much space as possible in these tiny 25 sq.m constraints. With much of the storage and a bedroom situated in the upper floor, the remaining space fitted as a suitable layout for leisure, work, cooking and social activities.
In general, this task was a very morbid reminder about the events that are unfolding right on our doorstep, but also a possible realistic preparation for things to come.
With all of our hearts,
Slava Ukraini!
