Blending the Old with the New

Beautiful contemporary apartment in Kyiv, Ukraine, designed by Balbek Bureau.

This apartment is located in a remarkable architectural monument. To preserve that spirit, the architects decided to partially remove the interior wall finishes, thereby opening an old brick and load-bearing ceiling beams. White panels along the entire first-floor perimeter, high ceilings and almost complete absence of partitions make the space absolutely cozy and comprehensive.
