Together with the city, we are researching and developing a reconstruction project for Kherson that considers different recovery scenarios. As part of this process, we conducted surveys and interviews with residents, aiming to improve conditions for post-war rebuilding.
We have developed several projects for social housing and housing for the elderly. The project complies with current urban planning regulations and is thoughtfully integrated into the city’s context.
The courtyard is designed as an accessible, safe, and inclusive space for everyone — children, people with disabilities, and elderly residents. A public space will connect residents of the new housing with the surrounding community. The project includes comfortable and secure shelters. A key priority for the city is housing for elderly residents who remain in the city and require ongoing support.
Kherson is a symbol of resilience and strength. The city, occupied at the beginning of 2022 and liberated in November 2022, now lies on the front line, separated from the occupiers only by the river. russian forces have been testing various military technologies here, making it essential to secure the city.
The historic fort of Kherson, where the city began, is once again becoming a symbol of resistance. Its structure, seemingly facing the currently occupied territories, emphasizes the relevance of defensive logic that has shaped the city for over two centuries.
The fortification function is one of the few that does not lose relevance over time but only grows stronger in modern warfare. This is a reminder that city security is not a temporary task, but a permanent strategy. Kherson must preserve its historical defensive logic and adapt it to new realities through modern forms of protection.
