House in Green Hills

A 290 m² space designed for a young couple and their beloved pets — two cats and a dog. This two-story house near Kyiv continues the calm rhythm of suburban life, where the interior does not compete with nature but complements it.
The concept is based on soft minimalism with warm, natural tones. The interior is built on a combination of tactile materials: wood, stone, textiles, and matte surfaces — all working together to create a sense of calm and a “quiet” aesthetic.

First floor

The ground floor is an open shared space. The living room, with a fireplace and a deep modular sofa, forms the heart of the home — a place for slow evenings and gatherings. Large windows dissolve the boundary between interior and garden, filling the space with natural light.

Kitchen

The kitchen is designed as a clean, minimalist volume with a focus on functionality: light stone, warm wood, and soft geometry create a calm backdrop for everyday life. The island serves not only as a workspace but also as a communication hub.

Second floor

The private spaces on the second floor are more restrained: the bedroom is designed in a light palette with natural textures that promote rest and recovery.

Bathrooms

The bathrooms are all about tactility and simplicity. Rough stone textures, rounded shapes, warm tones, and soft lighting create the atmosphere of a private spa without unnecessary decoration.

Special attention is given to details and everyday scenarios - the space is adapted for comfortable living with pets and the daily rituals of its residents.

This interior is about balance - between aesthetics and function, architecture and nature, the dynamics of life and quietness.
