    BH Apartment

    Kyiv, Ukraine
    2024
    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. Enhanced arches exude sophistication, achieved through
    the fusion of decorative molding and an inner wooden frame. The loggia
    underwent insulation and was seamlessly incorporated into the kitchen,
    where a conservatory for plants was thoughtfully placed.
    During the project analysis phase, numerous visual distractions were
    identified, stemming from wall niches, variations in floor height, and exposed
    utilities. Consequently, during the demolition stage, it was decided to
    refurbish the flooring and reinforce windows and openings with a metal frame.
    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.
    Despite the challenges posed by the wartime context, the project was
    executed successfully, underscoring the timeless relevance of design and
    creativity.

    Lead Architect: Maksym Dietkovskyi
