Ok Hill House
Type: Private House / Architecture, Interior Design
Location: Minsk region, Belarus
Project area: 157,2 sq.m
Timeline: 2020
Project Team: Kirill Skorynin, Daria Ivanova (LEVEL80 | architects)
The house was designed using the Flybird construction frame-and-panel system. This technology suggests the production of large structure elements — frames, wall and roof panels — in the workshop, for subsequent transportation and assembly on-site, on a previously prepared base. In our case, this is a pile-grillage foundation.
The house consists of two rectangular volumes, offset relative to each other by the width of the hallway that connects them. One part of the house is designed as a leisure space for family and guests, the other is for private usage.
The shape of the roof is gable without overhangs. From the side of the living room, it forms a 4-meter console above the lake-view terrace. Most of the windows have panoramic glazing.
On the façade, we used a minimum of materials and colours. There is wood trim from the façade to the roof, made of aspen treated with antiseptic — it will turn noble grey over time. And there are metal and fibre cement elements painted anthracite.
The exterior is made in an austere architectural palette. Interior manifests a similar approach. We made it as neutral as possible for future tenants to add their personal stories.

We also designed a sauna, carport and utility block.
