Farby Apartment: a home of many colours

September 28, 2024

MAKHNO Studio designed a two-story apartment in the centre of Kyiv that combines various styles, aesthetic directions, and shades of art.



The design of the apartment combines both restraint and "adulthood" with eccentricity and childlike openness. The intertwining styles make the apartment an ideal family nest, satisfying the needs and desires of each member.

The 225 m² apartment has two floors: the first one include guest area with a living room-kitchen and guest bedroom, and the second one dedicated to the master area including a master bedroom with a terrace and a children's room.



ECLECTIC LIVING ROOM

This area combines several styles and colors, creating a unique atmosphere. The kitchen area is executed in warm dark shades and multifaceted patterns, where extravagance becomes cosy. The highlight is the signature 3D SKELJA tiles on the wall and custom-made MAKHNO lamps created exclusively for this project.

The dining area features chocolate tones and the unique THE POLAR NIGHT lamp.

The recreation area is greeted by a luxurious soft Baxter sofa and a two-meter high KHMARA FLOOR floor lamp. The unique art sculpture DIDO CHUB safeguards the home's coziness. Walnut veneer on the walls complements the composition, creating a sense of warmth and naturalness, typical of Scandinavian design.

The space is filled with natural warmth thanks to the panoramic windows, which create a sense of openness. The dark shades of the interior effectively balance the room's abundant light.



CONTRASTING STAIRCASE

The black metal-glass stairs, along with dark gray paintings on the plastered walls in contrast with the light wooden floor and white ceiling - create a dynamic atmosphere. The energy-saving lighting accentuates this dynamic.



COLOURFUL GUEST BEDROOM

The guest bedroom combines art elements: artistic copper plaster on the front wall, paintings on the other walls, and handcrafted VOLCANO ceramic lights. All together, they create a unique atmosphere in the room, exciting the guests' imagination.


CRAFT BATHROOM

The highlight of the minimalist guest bathroom is the black handmade ceramic sinks, adding uniqueness and style to the interior. One-piece multi-liter clay tanks with natural curves are a successful experiment of our ceramists.



MINIMALIST BEDROOM

The master bedroom is an example of minimalism: a "bare" ceiling, panoramic windows instead of walls, and a large leather bed of about 10 m². The adjacent bathroom is complemented by a warm wooden background, creating cosiness.

Building on What's Already There As this year's LIV Hospitality Design Awards winners settle into the wider conversation, certain patterns become difficult to ignore. Properties built for warm-climate escape recur across the list. Sustainability surfaces less as a stated goal than as a working method. And several of the strongest projects are renovations rather than new builds. Read together, the winners point toward where hospitality design is heading as the year continues. Designed for the Season Several of this year's winners speak directly to the season ahead. Kona Village , on Hawaii's Big Island, reimagines an 81-acre resort around the history of Kaupulehu, led by Greg Warner and Mike McCabe of Walker Warner. The rebuilt property includes 150 traditional guest hale, a new spa, and five restaurants and bars—two of which carry over from the original resort. Rather than a wholesale reinvention, the project reads as a continuation: a property rebuilt around what made the original site significant in the first place.
