Apartment for an art collector

The client’s request was to create a comfortable space for his life, work and to have guests. However, as an entrepreneur, he also considered it a wise investment. That is why he wanted not average remodeling but an interior design that could add value to the space. It worked, and the apartment price rose even with the current circumstances of war and the general trend of decreasing real estate prices in Ukraine.

Another request of the client was the use of local materials. Thus, Ukrainian granite appeared in the project on the kitchen table and windowsills and wooden parquet of local production.

The interior of the apartment is a clean space with high ceilings, well-thought-out storage systems, radial curves, without excessive visual noise. All furniture, lighting and decor are bold, massive and emotional. There are no "supporting actors" in this film. "I like to work with spacious interiors, to design on a large scale, to create with bold strokes," says architect Yevgenia Dubrovska.

The space is divided into two zones. The public zone consists of a living room, a kitchen, a home office, a guest room, and a laundry, while the master area has a large bedroom, a wardrobe, and a bathroom.

The blue hallway links the common and the private areas. Passing it, you feel an energetic boost. Also, a blue color emphasizes the arch shape of the door. The other bright accents are made of contemporary art. The apartment walls are covered with works from young artists spanning the globe.

The master bathroom looks minimalistic and almost sterile. It resembles a pure marble cube.

It has a big window that streams daylight in with a clever addition of a movable mirror on the rail that can cover the window and make some privacy during shower time.
