The five-part film portrays the authentic and folk architectural treasures of the war-torn regions of Ukraine (excluding the Russian-occupied territories).

The project called Strikha (meaning ‘the roof’ in Ukrainian) seeks to trigger public discussions around the traditional Ukrainian architecture and how to preserve it. The expedition throughout Ukraine kickstarted in November 2022, when Ukraïner and Craft Story began hunting examples of vernacular home designs. These included Cossack’s wooden churches, windmills, a country house in the Carpathians, the ‘wooden lace’ technique of Sivershchyna, the original huts of Zaporizhzhia—and much more.

All these unique solutions are captured in a documentary available with English subtitles on Ukraïner’s YouTube channel.
