Mazanka Apartment: Where Ancient Ukrainian Craft Meets Modern Design
Mazanka Apartment, envisioned by Makhno Studio in Kyiv, Ukraine, blends eco-friendly design with urban sophistication. Overlooking the Dnipro river, this 2020 creation uses traditional Ukrainian materials like wood, clay, and reeds in a skyscraper setting.

Mazanka is more than a residence; it’s a modern interpretation of ancient building traditions, offering a unique living experience.
About Mazanka Apartment
Mazanka: A Blend of Tradition and Modernity
Mazanka Apartment, perched in a Kyiv skyscraper, boasts breathtaking views of the Dnipro river. Interestingly, “Mazanka” in Ukrainian signifies a quaint village home made of wood, clay, and reeds. Its name, derived from “mazaty,” translates to coating with clay, reflecting the apartment’s connection to ancient construction methods.
Eco-Friendly Design Meets Personal Vision
A young woman, envisioning a home as her sanctuary, chose our studio for this project. She sought a blend of eco-friendly materials and cutting-edge technology. Accordingly, we crafted an interior that seamlessly integrates these elements, highlighting the space’s unique character.
Creating a Personalized Living Space
Our goal extended beyond meeting the client’s requirements. We aimed to create a space that would resonate deeply with her. This involved tailoring the design to reflect not only the eco-conscious ethos but also a sense of personal attachment and comfort.
