### Project Overview
Situated in the Saltivka district of Kharkiv, this design initiative focuses on revitalizing existing residential structures while implementing essential technical upgrades. The objective is to enhance living conditions for residents and foster communal spaces that encourage interaction and engagement. The approach responds to the unfinished urban fabric of Saltivka, prioritizing recovery and rehabilitation to ensure the success of this development.

### Spatial Strategy
The layout incorporates a gallery space that extends along the periphery of each residential unit, creating a transitional zone between indoor and outdoor environments. This design feature significantly enhances the utility and aesthetic quality of living spaces. The interior configurations are thoughtfully arranged to maximize natural lighting and ventilation, adapting to diverse family needs through flexible open and private areas.

### Material and Thermal Performance
A diverse selection of materials is employed to balance structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. Concrete serves as the primary material for walls and slabs, offering durability, while laminated steel profiles provide structural support and design versatility. Interior elements utilize wood for its thermal properties, contributing warmth to living spaces. The project incorporates advanced thermal insulation techniques, including a 15 cm rock wool system and strategic window placement for natural ventilation. These features collectively enhance energy efficiency and promote healthier living environments.

### Community Integration
The design emphasizes the creation of inclusive public spaces, including sheltered areas between blocks that provide refuge during inclement weather and promote social engagement. The architectural strategy employs a modular approach, allowing for customization based on community needs while maintaining design coherence. A designated bunker space is integrated for emergencies, equipped with amenities that further support community activities and gatherings.
