Residential quarter 2024
Residential quarter will in fact be the first phase of the larger scale urban transformation: a complex development of more than 25 hectares in the Southern part of the city, close to it’s largest reservoir - the Basiv Kut lake. According to the concept a new complete district of the city is to emerge, well integrated into the urban whole, comprising of predominantly small to medium-sized urban blocks (residential quarters). Overall masterplan foresees, more than 25 mid-rise residential quarters, one business center, a sports-complex and a kindergarten on site. With ground floors of residential buildings reserved for commercial use and work. Concept unfolds around the small park, organized along the natural lovering of the relief. A rain garden of several interconnected wetlands is proposed here to locally absorb precipitation from impermeable surfaces of the whole development. Dealing with complex topography we found such a street pattern that at the same time avoids car traffic at steep slopes and makes pedestrian and bicycle networks much more connected and permeable than the vehicle one.
