25 NEW BUILDING COMMISSIONKIEV, UKRAINE
1600 apartments on the river Dnepr, Kiev
Some 20 kilometers to the south of Kiev the river Dnepr splits into several streams. It is an area where islands and peninsula's are turned into suburban development. At the start of each development - cottage style - a plot of land is cleared of trees and covered in a thick layer of sand. The Maxwan proposal for a 25 ha site of parkland with a magnificent variety of large trees, turns the other way. Trees are preserved and the larger part of the site is developed as a natural park. A long string of apartments snakes along the edges of the island, facing the ready made park at its interior.
