DM House

Designed as a serene retreat in the rural expanse of Kyiv region, Ukraine, these two identical modern minimalist houses stand as a testament to contemporary living amidst nature. Originally envisioned as vacation homes for two brothers and their families, the allure of the tranquil surroundings led them to make these houses their permanent residence. Ivan Avdeenko Ivan Avdeenko Ivan Avdeenko Ivan Avdeenko Ivan Avdeenko The facades of the houses exude a sleek modern aesthetic with black metal panels complemented by smooth and planked wooden surfaces. Positioned on a plot with a subtle relief, the street and parking spots sit elevated, providing a unique vantage point to the houses below. Inside, the houses are a mar... More

Centower

The multifunctional residential complex CENTOWER organically blended into the city life of the central part of the Dnipro. Restrained and laconic forms and competent proportions created a unique image of an urban object. AIMM This building is an excellent example of a mixed-use complex. There is an office block with a height of 4 stories, built-in retail premises, and a restaurant on the ground floor of this block. The size and proportions of the office block look this way because they preserve the high-rise rhythm of Yavornitzky Street and its ensemble. AIMM Further, a little into the depths of the block, there are residential sections with apartments. AIMM The complex has many unique solutions, such as a spacious lobby,... More

Respublika Housing (1st phase)

The basic principles adopted for the development of the 1st phase of the project: midrise buildings, urban block planning, separation of pedestrian zones and vehicles, closed courtyards - open streets. Urban blocks are not classical quadrangular, but pentagonal forms a slightly more lively and unpredictable space. The sections are arranged in pentagons, which diverge in petals from the "core" - an area of 80x80 meters with a community center. In the place where the fifth "petal" of housing could be located - elementary school and recreation: tennis courts, football, and volleyball courts. The design of the private courtyards closed on all sides is deliberately opposed to the streets' geometric correctness. The atmosphere here is cozy, sl... More

Design of 'Follower' restaurant playfully riffs on the popularity of social media

A chic new restaurant that playfully riffs on the popularity of social media has recently opened in the heart of Kyiv, Ukraine.  The aptly named Follower restaurant has taken a mid-century building on one of the city’s oldest and longest streets (VelykaVaslkivskastreet) and updated it as a funky, eccentric hangout catering to millennials.  Architecture and design specialists YoDezeen sought to at once maximise and preserve the building’s heritage whilst simultaneously creating a restaurant that blurs the distinction between online and offline lives and actively encourages guests both to socialize and, reciprocally, to post their experiences on social media.  Credit: Andrii Shurpenkov Follower comprises two f...
