Manor on the Bank of the Dnieper22 photos

Strict forms of the manor "Dnieper Optics", designed by the studio ArchObraz in Dnipro region, Ukraine, evoke associations with a periscope of a submarine directed toward the nearby river.

A three-story elongated building faces its narrow facade toward the riverbank, and all three levels have panoramic glazing on this side, providing picturesque views of the Dnieper from the living room, main bedroom, and office.

The living room continues onto an open terrace that extends all the way to the riverbank, where a long green lawn unfolds. Geometric shapes of the lawn continue the lines of the house and are accentuated by a precisely drawn path that guides the eye toward the river and wide lawns.
