BH Apartment
The project was executed after the commencement of a large-scale invasion. Despite unforeseen challenges and frequent power disruptions in Ukraine during construction, our team successfully dealt with all tasks assigned. The apartment is situated in the heart of Kyiv, on Bohdana Khmelnytskoho Street, within a residential building dating back to 1900, distinguished by its classical architecture featuring high ceilings. The apartment's distinctive features, including the spacious corridor-gallery with its windows and arches, a loggia, and a balcony, served as the cornerstone of the project's concept. The corridor, acting as the central artery, extends throughout the entire apartment, seamlessly integrating all areas into a cohesive space.

Following extensive consultations with the client, it was agreed to fuse classical elements with mid-century design pieces from the 1930s to the 1970s, seamlessly integrating them into the apartment's ambiance. Vintage Cassina chairs, alongside Louis Poulsen, Flos, and Vibia lighting fixtures, in addition to furniture from Porro and B&B Italia, collectively evoke a nostalgic retro atmosphere.
To cultivate a sense of stability and tranquility, materials such as toned oak, marble, stainless steel, and brass were meticulously selected. Experimentally, sand was incorporated into the terrazzo flooring, while marble chips were embedded within mineral plaster on the walls, enhancing their texture and visual appeal.The apartment's design seamlessly interacts with art in its various forms. Sculptures by Dmytro Hrek, a diptych by Rostyslav Zavhorodniy, and paintings by Kristina Otchych-Cherniak elegantly complement the interior, enriching its aesthetic depth.
