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.
