The office was built using a minimalistic approach, but with careful attention to detail, giving the office a modern feel while also being a comfortable working environment. We also reflected the company’s philosophy of environmental consciousness – using recycled eco-materials and incorporating living plants. Guests to Biosphere are greeted by a clean, minimalist reception area, the focus of which is the reception desk made of artificial white stone. Most noticeable is the metallic sphere set into the stone desk, which, constantly rotating, symbolizes the constant development and progression of the company. The managers’ offices are located in the center of the floor. They cleanly and visually divide the open space into... More

Our bureau was responsible for designing the interior of the first cinema to exist in the Kyiv Central Department Store. The main aim was to create an instantly recognizable and modern interior for this significant public space. The walls of the premium cinema hall in the Central Department Store are covered in thousands of aluminum tubes, each made to order and installed separately. Our team chose wear-resistant, durable materials that meet fire safety requirements and correspond to the curved shape of the cinema halls, all the while creating a pleasing aesthetic. The final accent of the hall, and the highlight of the project, is the ceiling of the cinema. An impressive luminous fringe, it is woven from more than 19,000 acrylic threads,... More

A spacious three-story apartment creates a perfect frame for nature around. Any point of the Penthouse 180 opens up a breathtaking view of the city and the Dnieper. Signature to all MONO architects projects, architects created a minimalistic space, following the concept of “timeless interior”. The Penthouse 180 was designed for a family with children, so each zone is carefully thought out, functional and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable and cozy life. Right from the entrance, the apartment offers panoramic views of the city. The transparent silhouette of the stairs against the background of the windows highlights the minimalistic geometry of space: a kitchen, a dining room and a living room with a lounge area.... More

The customer, a successful startup owner from Silicon Valley, easily went along with challenging and out of the box ideas, which led to the creation of a modern and functional facility. The first challenge for us was the location of the villa. Given that the construction was planned on a slope with 12 meters difference, it was necessary to create a convenient entry to the territory for residents. Structurally, the house consists of three tiers: the upper one, with a garage for 4 cars, the middle one with the entry, and the lower one, with a lounge area on the roof. The villa was designed taking into account all the specifics of the surrounding area. The building is inscribed in the landscape in such a way that it preserves the trees growi... More

Since the campus itself was designed according to the standards of the American LEED system (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), the design of the space should also reflect the idea of rational and reasonable use of resources.   Working through the design concept, the bureau specialists combined minimalism and futurism – the space was to become not just modern, but also to go ahead, reflecting the future.   Despite the relatively large area of the object (about 700 m2), only two materials were used in the interior decoration – Laminam porcelain tile and glass. The designers of MONO Architects chose only one material for the cladding, as this made possible to achieve the feeling of a single space, not ov... More
