PROJECTS
This project showcases an innovative approach to urban living.
All windows were upgraded to floor-to-ceiling panoramic glazing, creating expansive views and maximizing natural light.
Installing these large panels on the 24th floor required specialized access. The work was completed by rope access technicians (alpinists) without the use of cranes, solving a complex logistical challenge in a dense urban setting. An integrated perimeter lighting system beneath the ceiling adds a subtle “floating ceiling” effect and enhances the overall space.
Every detail of the interior — from the travertine and solid wood kitchen island to the mature olive trees brought up to the 24th floor — reinforces a calm, tactile, and elevated living environment.
• Complete window replacement: dismantled small openings and installed full-height, wall-to-wall panoramic glazing using alpinists.
• Collaboration with Rentoft (Kharkiv) on design and custom furniture production.
• Custom ash-lamella furniture with integrated natural branches for unique handles and accents.
• Perimeter LED lighting system under the ceiling to create an atmospheric “floating ceiling” effect.
• Ash parquet flooring (same pattern as furniture) oiled for a seamless natural look.
• Underfloor heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, plus built-in convectors connected to the central heating system with individual regulation.
• Private lift integration with key-card access from the 22nd floor to the apartment and rooftop.
• Kitchen with professional appliances: built-in coffee machine, refrigerators, ovens, cooktops, wine and cigar coolers; travertine and solid-wood island.
• Transport and installation of large trees (including two 1.5-ton, 200-year-old olive trees) to the 24th-floor terrace by alpinists.
• Outdoor/indoor transition: sliding and swing door systems opening the bedroom directly onto the terrace.
• Bathroom with panoramic window: integrated shower, bathtub, oversized sink, custom rotating mirror.
• Preservation and restoration of original concrete ceiling, with artistic patching of imperfections for a raw yet refined finish.
This apartment remodel focused on opening up the space and improving natural light through a complete window upgrade. All existing openings were redesigned and fitted with floor-to-ceiling glass systems, creating a seamless connection between the interior and the city skyline of Kyiv.
Working at height required a specialized installation approach. Large glass panels were delivered and installed using rope access technicians, allowing accurate positioning in a tight urban environment without heavy equipment.
Inside, the design emphasizes clean lines and natural materials. Custom wood elements, stone surfaces, and integrated lighting were used to create a warm, modern living space with a strong architectural identity.
• Complete replacement and expansion of window openings — floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall — with panoramic glass installed at the 23rd floor using climbers.
• Two lift-and-slide systems: one from the living room, one from the bedroom, both opening onto a large terrace (15% bigger than on the 24th floor).
• Space transformation: the bedroom opens into an open-air terrace, while the living room merges with the sky thanks to the 20.3 ft (6.20 m) ceilings.
• Layout: 1,615 sq. ft. (150 m²) with 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (master + guest).
• Second level: guest bedroom with bathroom built above the corridor, enabled by ceiling height.
• Staircase: monolithic steel structure made from a single 0.4” (1 cm) sheet, welded seamlessly.
• Materials: polished walnut veneer + teak parquet from a 200-year-old Sri Lankan temple.
• Greenery: several trees lifted to the terrace by climbers, including two 200-year-old olive trees weighing over a ton each.
• Engineering: heated floors, ventilation, air conditioning, and built-in convectors.
• Lighting: track system with restored exposed concrete ceiling.
• Kitchen: premium German Gaggenau appliances (double fridge, oven, cooktop with integrated ventilation, wine and cigar fridges, coffee machine).
• Furniture & décor: fully curated turnkey — sofas, tables, chairs, books, and art.
This project focuses on precision-driven interior remodeling, blending custom millwork, high-end materials, and integrated systems into a clean, modern layout.
The kitchen was designed as a central functional hub, featuring a custom island, concealed ventilation, and fully built-in appliances for a seamless finish.
Flexible zoning was achieved with sliding and glass partitions, allowing privacy when needed while maintaining an open, light-filled space.
