We never imagined we would find a place to call home so far from where our story began.
We are Peter and Marina, architects originally from Odesa, Ukraine. After the war forced us to leave our country, our journey eventually brought us to Adelaide. And somehow, this city gave us something we had been searching for: a genuine sense of belonging.
Of all the places we have lived, nowhere outside Ukraine has felt quite as much like home.
By a fortunate coincidence, we have always lived in the heart of Adelaide. Walking its streets, crossing its squares and spending time in its parklands became part of our everyday lives. Over time, we developed a deep appreciation for William Light's vision and the remarkable urban plan that continues to shape the city we love.
Having both completed our Master's degrees in Architecture in Ukraine, we are now continuing our architectural studies together in Australia.
When the opportunity came to design a project in Adelaide, we wanted to create something truly meaningful. Something that would reflect our gratitude to this city, respect the layers of history that shaped it and offer a new architectural perspective.
OFF THE GRID is our way of giving something back to the place that gave us a new home.
A personal tribute to Adelaide, expressed through architecture
