The apartment was intended for a young couple in the style of the Ukrainian avant-garde, so from the very beginning, it was clear that this was the place to implement bold planning ideas, use cool new materials, and add color. Suprematism became the starting point. This avant-garde art movement that was born in Ukraine one hundred years ago continues to greatly inspire creators around the world today.

The main task of the client was to create a modern and bright space with the most functional use of the area. A separate request was to install a "smart home" system that allows remote control of heating and lighting, as well as an "anti-flood" system.

- I wanted to "dress" the interior in a modern, bold way; to give it a young and relaxed theme. Excellent mutual understanding with the clients enabled me to implement this idea 100% - shares @Yevheniia Sytnik, the designer.

The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows are the crowning glory of this apartment. With its high floor (15th floor) and stunning views of Kyiv, the interior feels larger and more spacious. To complete the look, electric wooden blinds are installed on the windows.

Art has a way of adding depth and dimension to an interior. And this apartment is a testament to the artistic vision of Tasha Oro. Tasha works with recycled materials, considers herself a direct heir to the Ukrainian avant-garde, in particular Suprematism.

- Her panel from the Monumental series really stood out to me – the themes and motifs seemed to somehow mirror the urban landscape outside the window! They literally seemed to portray it - shares @Yevheniia Sytnik, the designer.
Separately, it is worth mentioning the selection of materials. Glass blocks, plywood, concrete are the DNA of this project.

One of the standout features of the design is the use of glass blocks Sevesglassblock and the textured glass panels. This approach allows for clear zoning of the space while still allowing in plenty of natural light. One of the clever design elements is the exposed electrical wiring on the concrete. It's a small nod to industrial aesthetics. The concrete relief and graphic panel above the bed are my own work, and serve as a gift to my clients.
Unnecessary walls from the developer were removed, opening the entire space to natural light. The only separate volume left is the bathroom. A feeling of free and continuous flow is created: continuous air, no dead ends.

The result is a studio in which the kitchen is combined with the living room, and all are parts of one space, and the bedroom is separated by a functional partition. This volume incorporates the constructive element of the building – the concrete pillar – and becomes the axis of the entire interior. On the bedroom side, we designed a shelving unit; on the living room side – a TV zone. Another key decision in the planning of the apartment is the wardrobe cabinet behind a sliding curtain in the bedroom. It's like a superpower: a small living space like this really needs storage solutions!

If we're talking about square meters, this space is a true example of careful "cutting" where every centimeter counts. This is how the kitchen and bathroom are designed. On the verge of total space economy and ergonomic balance. A mirror wall was used in the fight for space. The interior is at least twice as large – at least that is the feeling.

The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows are the crowning glory of this apartment. With its high floor and stunning views of Kyiv, the interior feels larger and more spacious. In addition, the apartment has a "Smart Home" system that allows remote control of the refrigerator, boiler, heating, and some outlets, as well as the anti-flood function with corresponding sensors in "wet" areas. Heating is provided by a designer radiator and underfloor heating throughout the apartment.

One of the interesting decorative elements is the acoustic panel located in the hallway, made from recycled plastic bottles. It is a practical and at the same time visually striking decorative solution. The surface is made of Re:Quiet acoustic material in the form of several rounded geometric shapes. It brings color and coziness to the interior, and also serves as a noise absorber.

The apartment features three designer decorative panels by Tasha Oro, which are almost identical to the view from the window, reinforcing the industrial nature of the interior.

Tasha works with recycled materials, considers the Ukrainian avant-garde, in particular Suprematism, to be her source of inspiration, and experiments with sculpture and monumental reliefs. In our oversaturated world, recycling is the most ethical way of creation, which is full of potential. Even in art. And especially in art. In her work, she uses parts of Soviet car production, fragments of household appliances, antique ceramics and porcelain, furniture production waste, used postal boxes, etc.
