Architect Alex Bykov designed this 690 ft2/64 m2 apartment for a young creative couple located in Kiev based on the concept of “constant motion.” The concept of movement appears through the spacial design areas such as the bedroom, the lounge, the library and the bathroom are located surrounding the kitchen, the historical symbol of the “family’s heart”. So you can move from one room to another in an uninterrupted circle, since the spaces flows smoothly into each other.
The built-in library – a primary wish of the couple, was designed to house the family library. The library has a podium, which was designed to provide more space for storage. It was decided to make two types of shelves for the library; thus this flexible solution gives an opportunity to change the geometric pattern of shelves in the future. Alex also designed all the furniture and prepared individual work drawings. The woodwork was made from low cost materials.
The artificial lighting is dim, warm and comfortable. The decorative lamps are by Ukrainian designers Anna Popovych and Vasyliy Butenko; the ceiling lamp, which were presented to the newlyweds by close friends as a wedding gift, are by ‘Artemide.’
