The Ukrainian architectural company Archimatika is behind the Comfort Town Housing project that has a goal to build a city-within-a-city where people could live in the most comfortable way.
“Your little slice of Europe in Kyiv,” as the property brochure calls it, has 8,500 apartments. It was inspired by building blocks like LEGOs and it’s very colorful.
The Comfort Town is the first residential complex in the country that was designed using the “block development” principle. The rest of Ukraine follows the typical Soviet typology and consists of micro districts.
There’s no doubt that this colorful neighborhood will attract tourists who visit Kyiv. It’s especially interesting for those who are into architecture as its constructors did their best to optimize construction and technology.
The designers did several interesting things—created the district from only 150 repetitions, preserved the valuable green spaces, and made it comfortable to live in.
One of the reasons why the shapes are simples and facades are flat is the limited budget Archimatika had. They also had to optimize their work in that way but we think the final result is great.
