About X House Residential Building
X House is a residential building set in a mixed forest within the city of Kharkiv, Ukraine. Respect for the site and preservation of the existing green spaces guided the design and the construction. Large areas of panoramic glazing connect the interior with the surrounding trees, making nature an accent of the living space. Cantilevered roof projections and second floor terraces are made of reinforced concrete and form broken lines around the main volume. The exterior uses porcelain stoneware, metal, wood and fiber-cement panels. The total area is 460 square meters.

- Production Technology
- The cantilever roof outlets and terraces of the second floor, which form graphic broken lines around the main volume of the house, implemented in reinforced concrete structures were of particular interest to architects.The exterior of the house is made of natural materials - porcelain stoneware, metal, wooden elements, fiber-cement panels - which support the general idea of connection with nature, “enter into dialogue” with the place, and do not contradict it.
- Inspiration
- Surrounded by a pure natural landscape, a phenomenon which is always unique in itself, architects wanted to turn to the basic principles and fundamental foundations of all applied disciplines - the play of light and shadow, volume and emptiness, combinations of contrast and nuance.
- Project Duration
- Project started in September 2017 and finished around January 2019, in Kharkiv, Ukraine.
