Apartment "Circulation"

The apartment is located in the historical center of Kyiv. With a view on one side of the National Academic Franco Theater and on the other side of the statue of Independence Square.

The project began a month before the start of the pandemic in 2020. And was completed during a full-scale war in 2022.

This residential building was built in 1909 in functional modern style, and a major reconstruction took place in 1950. After the bombing and fire in 1941.

After this large reconstruction, a large number of additional support beams appeared in the structure, as well as screeds, which we found after dismantling the ceilings and walls. Of course, this could not but affect the layout and decorative solutions for walls or ceilings.

On the facade of the building there are embossed friezes with neo-classical ornamental motifs, some of which I have quoted from inside. In addition, I used the circle shape, since this shape is present on the facade of the building, on the facade of the historical building opposite and of course on the balcony railing.
