There’s a place we will always remember.
A place where the best childhood memories come from. It’s your first nest – your father’s home
Bedroom + guest bedroom + 2 children’s bedrooms + wine room. All that the client wants. The space facilitates the design of a sufficient number of bedrooms, a wine room, a family breakfast area (kitchen), a family dining area (living room), and a gallery along the entire home. The gallery. That is it – the line. In order to emphasize its features, architects even built it on a pedestal – they did the ceiling in the room of the gallery higher than the main building’s. This design solution is also due to the fact that the collection of treasured paintings is suspended closer to the lighting. It is embodied by a ribbon window, which has a width of 450 cm and stretches along the whole house, the entire gallery. It faithfully serves each exhibit. Like a father, who faithfully serves his family.
He is Serhii Makhno.
The father of three sons: Ivan, Tadao, and Hikaru. And the father of MAKHNO Studio.
Serhii’s wife Vlada fully trusts her husband. They think and speak in unison, feeling and seeing their family nest like this. Despite the fact that the house seems pale, cold and inconspicuous, the parents of the Makhno family know that their sons will bring their feelings and “colours”. After all, the name of each has a unique, individual, and necessary for this home meaning. Ivan will protect it, and enrich the house with beauty and grandeur. Hikaru will make it shine and glisten. Tadao will strengthen the house’s reliability so that dozens of generations of the Makhno family can live there.
terraces. The rock garden is “hidden” behind a circular opening in the wall. The pool with sun loungers is “hidden” behind a rectangular arch. But the main entrance is really hidden from the road by a huge slab. Such a large number of walls is also an architectural and design solution. They represent the spirit of a father, someone who cares, protects and gives peace. The walls protect the creative, fragile, intimate spirit of the family and open it up to the landscape of the coastal world in a panoramic way.
Alexandr Kovpak, the chief architect of the “Father’s House” adds: «We gave a ribbon window an assistant – it’s a huge window on the other side of the house. It’s another canvas of the gallery in the “Father’s Home”. Nature itself was a co-author of this unique piece of art. After all, the centre of the exhibition lives its life four times a year, it changes itself and never repeats. Seasons of the year draw their own masterpiece which is ennobled by the frame of our window».
Getting the maximum from the minimum of the basic materials – concrete, glass and rebated roof – is possible due to a competent approach to the composition, strict project supervision and a successful dialogue between the customer and the chief architect. The experience of the professionals, responsible for this project, came in handy for this house and its owner.
Alexandr Kovpak, the chief architect of the “Father’s House” emphasizes the importance of concrete in the work: “From a professional point of view, this is an architectural concrete, and, from the creative one, it is a concrete of poetry. The walls are the bridgehead for creativity. Perhaps they will once be adorned by the author’s haiku of their inhabitants.”
