Set on a private estate in central Ukraine, these guesthouses offer a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional Ukrainian mazanka – the archetypal rural home shaped by local materials, climate, and cultural rituals.
Traditional Ukrainian vernacular architecture evolved through simple yet expressive solutions: thick whitewashed walls, thatched roofs, and regular plastering as an act of care and an aspiration toward order and beauty. In YOD Group’s contemporary interpretation, this pursuit of light and cleanliness is translated into fully transparent glass façades, while the roof – deliberately oversized – becomes the project’s primary architectural gesture.
