CASA LIA

We were approached by a family with a proposal to develop a personal project of a private mansion in a premium-class cottage town near Kyiv. No extravagance and whims: a comfortable house with two bedrooms for owners and daughters, a study, a guest bedroom and a spacious relaxation area on the first floor. And a garage for several cars outside the house.

The main thing is that the house was perfectly “tailor-made”, like a suit from an English tailor: nothing extra, precisely calculated area and purpose of the premises, all utilities are provided, sockets, heating system, installation of plumbing and dimensional appliances are precisely calculated.

On 30 acres of flat, almost without a slope of the plot, we placed a house with a facade oriented to the inner quarter of the cottage town. The house and the road are separated by a low fence. From the balcony of the second floor, the owners can easily see the guests at the entrance to the manor.

The second floor is a master block area. In the center is a hall with access to the balcony and the owner’s office overlooking the courtyard. On the sides of the second tier there are two bedrooms:

• master bedroom, dressing room and bathroom for adult family members,
• daughter’s bedroom with dressing room and bathroom.

The first floor is a public space. Right at the entrance to Casa Lia we have a spacious dressing room for outerwear, bags, suitcases and shoes. On the other side of the hall is a staircase to the second tier. The staircase is surrounded by translucent stained glass, the space is flooded with natural light penetrating into the halls of the first and second tiers.

Next to the dressing room is a guest bedroom with a double bed, opposite – a guest bathroom. If desired, guests can relax on their own mini-terrace: the sliding translucent structure serves as both a light source and access to the territory.

Important household details are not forgotten: laundry with dryer, pantry for garden equipment, boiler room and switchboard. There is a separate garage for 6 cars.

The heart of the house is an open space with kitchen zoning, a dining room for 10 people and a living room. The fireplace divides the doors into a large, about 60 m² terrace with barbecue.

The modern design with soaring straight roofs and panoramic glazing harmonizes perfectly with the surrounding landscape. Warm color scheme, porcelain tile, thermal board, thin jumpers of panoramic windows repeat the color scheme of the sunlit pine forest. The soft halftones are accentuated by the directional light of the façade luminaires on the perimeter of the first and second tiers.

Casa Lia is a personal project that can be adapted to the tasks and preferences of other families.
