The residential structure named Anti Patio House is
composed of three containers that capture the essence of modern living. These
three volumes were designed to perfectly adapt to the property – a hillside
terrain oriented towards the East, defined by “a 10-15 km panoramic view
characteristic of a penthouse” – as described by the creative minds behind this
project. This contemporary home designed by Drozdov Partners is
located in Kharkov, Ukraine, in a picturesque setting. A terraced property
profile proved to be challenging, but the final result is a magnificent modern
home made out of three 60 square meter containers each. The natural slope of
the hillside allowed the architects to place two perpendicular containers on
top of each other, while the third one sits separately and shelters the guest
suite. The lower volume is occupied by the living spaces, while the upper one –
resting on the slope – was risen to take advantage of the beautiful
surroundings. A terrace wraps around two sides of the house, pierced by an
inviting swimming pool and honestly open to the views, as are the social areas.
