Abstract. This study investigates the potential of steel frame structures for residential construction in Ukraine, focusing on sustainability and rapid building techniques for affordable housing. By tracing steel’s evolution from early projects like the Ditherington Flax Mill and Crystal Palace to modern modular structures such as Pacific Park Brooklyn, the research illustrates how steel frames support cost-efficient, high-quality housing. A novel concept introduced – the metamorphic structure and building envelope – enables flexible design and easy maintenance, tailored to meet Ukrainian context. This method emphasizes a steel frame core with a dynamic facade that adapts to changing functional and aesthetic needs while maximizing recyclability. Purpose. This study assesses steel frames’ feasibility for affordable and sustainable residential housing in Ukraine. Methodology. Through literature review and case studies, including historical and modern steel-frame projects, the study analyzes steel’s adaptability in modular construction and examines local regulatory challenges. Results. Findings suggest that steel frames offer quick assembly, cost savings, and adaptability, with the metamorphic envelope concept utilizing steel’s flexibility to a higher extent. Scientific novelty. This research advances sustainable construction by presenting the metamorphic structure and envelope as a new model for adaptable steel housing in Ukraine. Practical relevance. The study offers a framework for using steel frames in affordable housing, benefiting Ukraine’s market and sustainable development goals.
