This apartment for an Art Colector by Yevheniia Dubrovska is located in the historical center of Kyiv in the Golden Gate area. The owner of the apartment collects contemporary art and has an art foundation. The walls of the entire apartment are covered with works of young artists from all over the world. The ceiling height in the apartment is 3,2 m and most rooms have an irregular shape.
During the plaster demolition moldings were found, but they couldn’t be restored, so the decision was to make an identical copy. In the living room the size of the ceiling moldings is 900×450 mm, together with curtains, wooden window portals, and oversized canvases, the designer achieved the goal of maintaining the correct proportions of the room. Functionally, the apartment is divided into two zones: a public one with a living room, a kitchen, an office, a guest room, and a laundry room; and a master area with a large bedroom, a wardrobe, and a bathroom.
The client is a big fan of vintage furniture. All items were brought from Europe. The kitchen deserves particular attention as it links common and private areas. The kitchen also has access to the office space through a door made according to the designer’s sketches. The pattern of the stained glass window is similar to Art Deco patterns. To achieve this, the shape of an arch in the wall was corrected. The client’s bathroom has a large window.
In order to take a shower and have some privacy, you need to move the mirror from the bath to the window. It is worth noting that the client treated the creation of the design with great trust and it is very difficult to distinguish the completed apartment from the initial drawings. This interior has classic elements, vintage and minimalist modern furniture, and light – all this is the basis of the YD studio style.
