About the project

NIDO Residence is a large-scale residential complex that brings together all the qualities essential for the home of the modern, discerning urban resident. The idea of harmonious coexistence under one roof is the central theme of the architectural concept developed by IPA – Architecture and more.

Designed entirely in dialogue with its surroundings, the complex comprises two multi-storey residential buildings, retail spaces, and a café with a garden. The buildings are positioned along the perimeter of the plot, with generous spacing between them, forming an internal park with pedestrian-only alleys, relaxation zones, and areas for social interaction.

The primary goal for IPA – Architecture and more was to create a living environment that is as comfortable and welcoming as possible. The project includes a diverse range of residential units - compact studio-type apartments, spacious four-bedroom homes, and apartments with private gardens. Functionality, both in the dwellings and in the shared spaces, is a top priority throughout the architectural design.

The site’s natural topography presented a significant challenge. Due to the existing elevation differences, the architects followed the terrain closely throughout the design process, at times even emphasizing it to reinforce the feeling of a natural landscape.

The presence of an expansive internal courtyard provides residents with a sense of openness and freedom. This courtyard is richly landscaped and features walking paths, children’s playgrounds, and dedicated rest areas. Specific zones are designed to encourage teenagers to engage in outdoor activities and sports, drawing them away from screens and into the park environment. The naturally terraced character of the entire green area contributes to the uniqueness of the complex.

With NIDO Residence, the architects at IPA – Architecture and more successfully responded to the needs of contemporary urban life. Residents have everything required to build their own sense of home, while also benefiting from on-site shops, a dining venue, and a range of spaces for social activity, rest, and recreation - all within one cohesive architectural setting.
