About Krasnyk
Creating the Ultimate Cozy Retreat
Our vision focused on crafting a retreat that offers an escape from the city’s hustle while maintaining urban comforts. Moreover, we aimed to infuse this sanctuary with the area’s local charm.
Honoring Gutsul Heritage with Modern Design
Immersed in the Gutsul region’s rich culture, our project delves into the local architectural roots. The building’s design, both straightforward and elegant, echoes the traditional Gutsul homes’ proportions. Meanwhile, innovative construction techniques and modern materials bridge the gap between past and future.
A Harmonious Blend of Tradition and Comfort
The two-level structure features a combined kitchen and living area, complete with a fireplace and terrace access. Upstairs, a cozy bedroom boasts a panoramic window, perfect for stargazing. A tech-room sits under the roof, housing the ventilation systems.
This project stands out for its melding of contemporary elements with time-honored traditions. It’s a place where one can savor foggy mornings on a terrace with herbal tea or gaze at stars from the comfort of a warm bed— all within the heart of the Carpathians, without forgoing city luxuries.
