Marymo HELGA is a contemporary Mediterranean restaurant that is part of the Lviv-based “Marymo svoyeyu spravoyu” restaurant group (“obsessed with our craft” in English). The venue is located on the ground floor of the HELGA business centre in Lviv’s Frankivskyi district. Its interior combines restrained contemporary design with the charm of 1970s Italy.

During the day, it is frequented by employees of the companies based in the business centre and residents of the surrounding new developments. In the evening, subdued lighting creates an intimate atmosphere, transforming the restaurant into a cosy meeting place where guests from across the city come... More

The guest houses are part of the Seven Lakes restaurant and hospitality complex, located on the outskirts of Kyiv. Positioned directly along one of the lakes, the houses are designed as private spaces for relaxation, slowing down, and contemplating nature. For YOD Group, this project continues the work with the DNA of Seven Lakes, already established in the aesthetics of the Farm Table restaurant and the Synoptic outdoor pool. While these projects differ in function, what they have in common is a cohesive language of natural materials, a restrained colour palette, tactile textures, and an emphasis on proximity to nature.

This reception has been designed for one of the hotel buildings of Fomich Estates. It was created according to the principles of biophilic design and interaction with natural materials. The main feature of this space is its hybrid structure: the lobby is subtly integrated with the IL Panettiere bakery and a floral shop. Mykhaylo Lukashuk Mykhaylo Lukashuk Mykhaylo Lukashuk The focal point of the lobby is a 5-meter reception desk made of 150-year-old chestnut. This tree carries a trace of a natural event—its interior was left charred after a lightning strike. The massive trunk, 1.5 meters in diameter, is cut through by a 300-kilogram stainless steel plate. On one side, the plate doubles as a workspace for the hotel staf... More

Hair transplantation is a technical procedure, but for many patients it marks a personal turning point; this Berlin clinic was conceived as a controlled architectural environment where precision feels calm and identity can be restored without spectacle. The project occupies an existing urban shell and houses a specialized hair transplantation practice. The client’s brief required a space that communicates medical rigor and hygiene while reducing anxiety for patients who remain conscious, observant, and emotionally invested throughout the procedure. Unlike emergency healthcare facilities, aesthetic clinics operate in a psychological landscape shaped by vulnerability, discretion, and self-image. The challenge was to avoid the visual ha... More

This project transforms a former rural stable in Vienna into a contemporary restaurant while preserving the spatial identity of the original structure. Rather than erasing its past, the design builds on the existing volume, using it as a framework for a new program and social experience. SNOB Architects SNOB Architects The intervention is defined by a careful balance between preservation and addition. The double-height hall remains the core of the project, maintaining the scale and character of the agricultural building. New insertions — including a mezzanine level and a sculptural staircase — introduce a clear spatial hierarchy while remaining visually lightweight and reversible. SNOB Architects Material strate...

This created a professional and tough brand identity. Solving the Design Puzzles Two main hurdles defined the final design.Problem One: Structural Columns... More
