Semery Apartment, Kyiv

The apartment is located on the 4th floor of a residential house, which was built in 1905, in the historical area of Kyiv. The space itself is luminous: all the windows overlook a quiet green park, and the light freely streams through them. Because of the state of the building, a massive renovation of the flat was required. The process of dismantling revealed the rotten slabs and large cracks in the walls, and that flooring replacement is needed.

Rina Lovko Design Studio‘s client was a young woman, a fashion insider with a strong vision. The clients fascination with Paris, is said to have led to the recreation of a vintage apartment. The focus was shifted to natural textures, a combination of softness and determined details, and an overall airiness, and nuanced sophistication instead.
