Platform

A critical issue with rehabilitation spaces in Ukraine today is their separation from the city, which increases the isolation of these institutions from their surrounding context. The platform is a project designed to foster gentle interaction between residents and patients, encouraging participation in joint activities and recreation. The design takes into account the platform’s small size (1500×1500), allowing it to be placed without the need for extensive adaptation to the terrain. The platform features 9 modules that can be easily pulled out and securely fixed, creating up to 126 possible configurations. It can serve as a base for various planned activities, which is a crucial aspect of recovery and therapy.

Cubeyovych

Upon arriving in a new place and making it your home, it’s essential to establish a connection to avoid feeling like an outsider. The “Cubeyovych” is a versatile space designed to cater to the needs of various communities, aiming to foster a sense of belonging to both the place and the community. This project is rooted in the research of the needs of the social center in Pervomaisk, Kharkiv Oblast, which has become a sanctuary for many. However, the pavilion’s flexibility as a core principle makes this solution universally applicable. With movable platforms, multifunctional fixtures, and an ergonomic grid, the pavilion can be configured in numerous ways, offering various scenarios for relaxation areas, amphitheaters, and yoga floors. Yet, it is ultimately the community that determines how to use and define the space once they come together. The pavilion serves as a tool for shaping the environment and a hub for communication centered around collective action.

Windmill

The Windmill pavilion’s team designed it to accommodate different scenarios and levels of privacy. Each “wing” serves specific functions, including providing a bench, a sitting table, a standing table, and a cabinet/screen. Together, these zones offer a mix of privacy and collaboration. The cross-shaped structure not only lends stability to the pavilion but also facilitates material savings and simplifies the construction process.

The Тable and Chair

The Тable and Chair project is the result of a construction practice aimed at designing a versatile set of furniture to cater to the needs of various age groups. The project’s objective is to create a communal space that facilitates social interaction, offering opportunities for shared meals, gatherings, lectures, and other communal activities. Central to the project is the emphasis on modularity and adaptability, allowing the furniture to effortlessly accommodate diverse user needs. The set comprises standard and high tables, along with benches and chairs of various configurations, which can be arranged around the table or in other areas of the space. An integral aspect of the project is its focus on inclusivity, ensuring that all furniture elements are designed to accommodate individuals with disabilities. 

The arrangement of these elements fosters communication and interaction, creating a comfortable and inclusive environment for all.
