MAGNETIC
Brief
Magnetic is a coastal residential complex shaped by landscape and restraint. Located along the Black Sea, in a territory known for its rare magnetic sand and coastal pine forest, the project is conceived as a calm intervention rather than a dominant object.
Environmental continuity became the primary design driver. The buildings are separated into three volumes to preserve natural airflow from sea to inland and to protect the surrounding trees. Two stand perpendicular to the shoreline, while a lower volume runs parallel to it, allowing air, light, and movement to pass freely through the site.
The architecture follows a softened geometric language. Rounded edges and simplified masses replace sharp silhouettes, creating a quiet and approachable presence. Form is reduced to essentials, avoiding expressive gestures in favor of balance and proportion.
A restrained material palette of warm beige stone tones and fluid textures references both sand and water. Green areas are integrated throughout the complex, with a central pool acting as the spatial anchor between the volumes. The result is an environment where architecture supports atmosphere rather than competes with it.
Magnetic is not conceived as spectacle. It is a composed coastal habitat defined by simplicity, airflow, and a steady relationship with its natural context.
