Architectural Project of a Hillside Restaurant in Odesa. General Concept.

The restaurant project at the 13th Station of the Great Fountain in Odesa envisions a harmonious blend of contemporary architecture and the natural landscape. Thanks to its multi-level structure, the building seamlessly integrates into the surrounding environment, preserving the natural aesthetics of the slopes while offering panoramic views of the sea.

​

The architectural form of the restaurant is reminiscent of the elegant contours of a high-speed yacht or boat, emphasizing its dynamic yet refined appearance. Expansive terraces and open spaces create a seamless connection between the interior and the surrounding marine landscape.

​

Spatial and Volumetric Solution.

The building comprises three levels, each serving a distinct function and providing a unique spatial experience:

• The first level is at street level, forming the main entrance and welcoming area of the restaurant.

• The second and third levels are embedded into the slope, minimizing the visual impact on the landscape while creating private zones for visitors with panoramic sea views.

​

The facade is clad in aluminum composite panels and large glass surfaces, ensuring durability and resistance to natural elements while maintaining a sense of lightness and transparency. Clean, minimalist architectural lines highlight the building’s modern and functional design.

​

Functional Zoning and Landscaping.

The project includes a comprehensive landscaping plan:

• A summer terrace of 206.00 m² with seating areas and leisure spaces.

• Designated green areas (1,023.90 m²) that integrate the restaurant into its natural surroundings.

• A guest parking area for 11 vehicles, ensuring convenient access for visitors.

​

Pathways and paved areas are designed with eco-friendly materials, enhancing the integration into the natural landscape. The site's vertical planning preserves the natural terrain with minimal intervention, allowing for effective rainwater drainage and preventing soil erosion.

​

Structural Features.

The restaurant's structure is based on a monolithic reinforced concrete frame with a pile foundation, ensuring stability on the complex terrain. This structural approach enables the creation of spacious open terraces without the need for massive supporting elements, reinforcing the sense of openness and lightness.

​

The hillside restaurant in Odesa exemplifies a modern architectural solution that balances aesthetics, sustainability, and functionality. Its dynamic forms, minimalist facades, and panoramic glazing make it a true architectural landmark of the coastline. The project not only preserves the natural ecosystem but also integrates harmoniously into the environment, creating a unique leisure space with breathtaking sea views.
