The Comfort Town Housing, a 40-hectare development of concrete buildings, is all about colour. Inspired from the Legos, Comfort Town erupts from its otherwise boring surroundings much like a set of miniature buildings from Lego blocks placed on a grey carpet. Comfort Town’s 180 low-rise apartment buildings are indeed a playful response to the sprawling 1950s and 60s communist-era housing that encircles them.

The Comfort Town qualifies as the the first residential complex in Ukraine to be designed on the ‘block development’ principle, instead of the customary Soviet micro-district typology. Buildings of varying number of stories (from 2 to 16 floors) and unique colours form a picturesque silhouette in the urban fabric of the city, injecting an atmosphere of freshness.
