‘Feeling the Oat’ project sees family home in Ukraine by Yodezeen

A conversation began following a new acquisition, a two-story apartment 10 minutes from the centre of Kiev

by Andrew McCorkell 08 September 2020

The client is a married couple with four children who wanted a home for his family including active young people with various hobbies, paying attention to details, fond of travel and books.

The apartment was a new development, located on the 18-19th floors with a large terrace and excellent views of the city.

The number of extra walls left no other choice than redevelopment into a cozy common space for meetings of the whole family and friends.

The total area of the apartment was 290 square metres, with the apartment functionally divided into two main zones: an entrance hall, a common living room area, a kitchen and a guest bathroom are located on the upper level, a master bedroom, four children's bedrooms and adjoining bathrooms occupy the entire lower level.

A Yodezeen spokesperson said: "We are often asked about the style in the design in which we work. The Feeling the Oat project is a tribute to the modern interior, but with lots of the nostalgic elements for the client.

"To implement the project, we chose calm grey tones in combination with shades of natural wood, at the first level we used glass partitions in order to create additional zoning and the effect of a visual increase of space."

The kitchen area was combined with the dining room and includes a multifunctional kitchen and an island more than four metres long.

Above the dining table is a custom-designed chandelier made from the hereditary family glasses of the owner.

In the evening, the chandelier creates a “magical” setting, emitting rays of colour that dance across the ceiling.

The living area is central common space of the first level. Calm grey and beige tones create a relaxed atmosphere

Most of the interior features works of art, by Nazar Bilyk and Maria Priymachenko, as well as ceramics and books brought from travels.

An office and library area has been placed in front of the terrace, with a wooden cabinet in combination with light shades.

Yodezeen is a multi-award winning architectural and design studio operating in the field of interior design and architecture.

Artur Sharf and Artem Zverev established the studio in 2011 in their desire to create a knowledge-based approach in design and architecture.

It has 50 employees, offices in Kyiv, Moscow, London, Miami and Los Angeles.
