Customers – a family with a child mostly living abroad –had purchased an apartment of 198m2 in the centre of Kyiv and ordered a reconstruction with a request to live in a flat, that would look like a countryhouse with a terrace.
As a result of the complete reconstruction and re-planning of the apartment, including replacement and reinforcement of the floors, dismantling of all partitions, strengthening and expansion of all openings, addition of balconies, installation of a new facade and roof of the loggia, reconstruction of the roof of the neighboring building - the area of the apartment increased to 288 square meters, and a long-awaited terrace appeared.
While decorating the interior, the main wishes of the customers were taken into account to reflect the atmosphere of an old country house filled with antique and antiquarian things, to bring the spirit of orientalism and colonialism into the apartment, while organically adding to the interior an ultramodern kitchen, sauna, private cinema, smart-home technology and intelligent light, with a lot of light scenarios, as well as fill the space with modern art-objects for freshness of the perception of the interior.
During the implementation of the project, most of the furniture, including soft, all wooden stitches, cabinets, stone products and even carpets are produced according to the individual design of the studio within Ukraine.
