Yuliawave store
INTRO The concept of the store is based on natural, monochrome materials that complement each other and are responsible for the bold character of the brand. One of the inspirations was the concrete walls, which we cleaned of paint, showing the aesthetics of concrete and building structures. The lack of a large number of familiar finishing materials on the market has become a challenge for us. The initial idea of using non-finish coatings and showing the "nature" of building materials has made sense.

Private house in Paros
The property is located in close proximity to the sea, but due to the nature of its topography, there is no direct view of it. The area has low grass and shrub vegetation and no existing natural protection from the sun. These factors, together with the investor’s wish for a house larger than the permitted above-ground construction on the island, are fundamental in the development of the project idea.
Caption
The house is completely sunken into the ground and consists of 13 modules with a square-shaped plan that are combined in different ways to create a spatial organization. The modules are divided into residential units and patio units with the basic principle being that each residential unit has at least one adjacent patio. Th... More

The project consists of partial reconstruction and complete visual transformation of the existing house. The old house was built around 15 years ago in a style imitating the authentic for Sozopol architectural elements and materials: multitude of inclined roofs with tiles, facade planking and tile cladding, bay-windows and arches.

Interior of a house in Jaworzno
The area of 370m2 is spread over two floors. The ground floor is the living part of the house with a large living room open to the garden and a dining room and kitchen in the front part of the building. A characteristic element that organizes and divides the space is a black "box" integrating in its form both the functional elements of the above-mentioned key functions of the daily zone of the house as well as several supplementary rooms and vertical communication (stairs).

The black cuboid is placed centrally between the living room and the kitchen and dining room.

Minimalism for hedonists
I called this project ‘Minimalism for hedonists’. It most accurately describes this interior and its inhabitants. The main idea of the project is to create an austere, restrained and graphic interior, which is still rather emotional. I used proportions, frames and color blocks, active color contrasts and graphic techniques as the main compositional devices.
Elizaveta Kulenenok, Art Depo Studio
The main objective is to create a coherent architectural image with pronounced visual navigation. The interior also uses the concept of 'everything is there, but nothing is visible'.By developing the layout, I emphasised the open-space concept with functional areas demarcated within it. Each individual zone was based on the allocatio... More

The play of wooden volumes and the white concrete covering enriches and reduces the roughness of the limestone, generating more delicate spaces that protect.The Stone House is established as a piece that combines design and technique in equal parts, and allows the generation of a timeless architectural ensemble that emphasizes its Mediterranean character.

Koto Design unfolds emotional minimalism through a trio of cabins on the Northumberland Coast
Trees at Tughall is Koto Design’s latest venture into hospitality cabins nestled within a small wood on a field a short walk away from Northumberland's sandy coastline.

Our taskOur task was to develop an office design in a short time. The room is not large, long and elongated, with windows only on the front. Therefore, it was necessary to create a space that was as functional as possible, but saturated with light and air, in which 30 people could work comfortably.

Apartamento E16
The main idea of the intervention begins from the client's intention to generate meeting areas that allow continuous interaction within 70m2.
Therefore, the purpose was to create an intimate and welcoming space, preserving the existing structure and configuration, but multiplying the space possibilities to generate greater amplitude and natural lighting.
Alberto Magno
Wide entrances of light to the interior bathe the surfaces, where the construction materials in soft tones reflects the luminosity to generate different environments with their different uses.

In this project, we have completely rethought the planning solution proposed by the developer. We made a three-room apartment from a two-room apartment. Due to the area of the corridor, the sanitary unit was expanded and combined, the space of the kitchen-living room was increased, and space was allocated for the dressing room-server room.

The common area with kitchen and living room divides two bedrooms – the children’s room and the parents’ room – as a buffer, and they also designed sliding partitions to the full height of the room from both sides of the parents’ bedroom. When they are open, the bedroom becomes a part of the common space, and when they are closed, the bedroom becomes fully isolated with its own bathroom and workplace. Along the... More

Wedding Barn House
The marriage is a symbolic event which shows a society’s lifestyle. Today, however, it is not only fun, but also style and functionality that count. Both investors and young couples are looking for places that not only offer space, but also the right atmosphere. Hence the idea to create a place close to nature, evoking simple and traditional associations.
The wedding and event building called "Lubaszka" was designed in the hotel complex Rado Resort, surrounded by pine and mixed forests. This picturesque context has become a pretext to create an object open to nature, where all guests will be able to commune with it and draw energy from it.
The investor's goal was to build a wedding and event facility with a convivial atmosph... More

BELYIE NOCHI 38
We designed this well-lit and spacious apartment for a young woman using natural materials.
Our goal was to create a minimalistic and modern-looking interior design that wouldn’t be loud and flashy; elegancy and practicality permeate the entire project.
We didn’t choose the layout; the developer did. Yet, their decision to place an internal load-bearing wall at the center of the apartment turned out to be a welcome one; we created a ring layout around it. The bedroom leads to the kitchen, which leads to the bathroom and entrance hall – and vice versa. The customer asked us to wall off a portion of the bedsit to create a proper bedroom; we placed a semi-blind wall and a wood slat room divider that lets the natural l... More
