Project for the Creation of a Residential and Public Space for Temporary Accommodation of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Bucha. The project is implemented with consideration for humanitarian needs, ecological context, and architectural integrity. The complex is located within a dense forest area, providing a favorable environment for living, recreation, and rehabilitation.

Master Plan and Functional Zoning

According to the master plan, the territory includes:

• Residential modules of various types — including single- and duplex houses, each with an area of 72 m²;
• An administrative building;
• A restaurant with a mini-market and a spa zone;
• Several sports grounds, children’s areas, and BBQ zones;
• Dog walking areas and shaded gazebos;
• Walking paths and a landscaped beach with loungers, pontoons, and canopies.

The entire infrastructure is connected by a road-pedestrian network that preserves the existing forest landscape.

Residential Architecture

The architecture of the housing units is designed in a modern style with elements of Scandinavian simplicity. The houses feature gabled roofs, large windows, and facades clad in wood and metal panels. Some of the units are located directly by the water, with access to wooden terraces — this approach not only provides high-quality living space but also creates a sense of privacy and closeness to nature.
All buildings are low-rise, integrated into the environment, with a modular logic for forming residential clusters.

Public Spaces

The project includes multifunctional open spaces: children’s playgrounds, outdoor exercise equipment, and shared relaxation areas. Along the lake shore, beach infrastructure and wooden platforms are arranged, forming an aesthetic and functional frontage of the waterfront area.

Architectural Concept

The project in Bucha is distinguished by a balance between temporary and permanent, modest forms, and carefully organized space. Despite the crisis context, it demonstrates how infrastructure for IDPs can be not only humane but also dignified from an architectural point of view.
