A UKRAINIAN town looks like it is made of LEGO, with multi-coloured houses and buildings.
Comfort Town, a suburb of Kiev, was created to brighten up the former grey Soviet buildings from the 1950s and 1960s.Comfort Town has been compared to Lego and even MonopolyNow, the buildings are painted in bright yellows, green and oranges and pinks, which includes the exterior walls and roofs.Designers Dmytro Vasyliev, Aleksandr Popov and Olga Alfiorova were behind the project, according to Architecture Digest, and took 11 years to complete it on a strict budget.
The idea was to attract people to want to move to the area, by transforming the residential area - which covers 115 acres, about 1.5 times the size of Disneyland - into something more beautiful.“We used the simplest materials, the simplest techniques. We really just had the colour and the lines of the skyline.”
Inside the colourful suburb are cafes, shops and offices, as well as a huge outdoor sports facility and 8,500 flats.
