Liviv, in Ukraine, Km home There is an apartment that spreads over 1,000 square feet and designer Kareena Mayor and architect Danlo Koshulinsky’s private residence, the co-founder of the acclaimed interior studio Koshulinsky and MayorRejecting the layout of the traditional developer, the Mayor and Koshulinsky captured a transformative journey to build a house to suit their lifestyle. The original plan, which included a combined kitchen and living area and three tight bedrooms, gave the way of more thoughtful configuration. The couple introduced two huge bedrooms, double dressing rooms, a practical laundry space and two elegant -designed bathrooms. This layout not only optimizes space, but also emphasizes comfort and efficiency and also enhances daily life.
The moment someone enters the house, the art center takes the stage. The entrance is performed by the “Renaissance”, which was prepared from coal by Ukrainian artist Andrey Voznitsky. This striking artwork is highlighted by strategically placed ceiling lights, making a dynamic interplay of shadow and texture. Another panoramic piece, by “portal” lasted by Panchshin, beautifies the living area, thoroughly illuminating to increase its vibrant details.
The absence of corridors is a deliberate choice, eliminating unnecessary places and promoting a natural flow throughout the apartment. “Another common challenge for those who really build modern houses is the presence of unnecessary corridors, which often serve less objectives other than collecting decorative chaos and reducing the valuable space from the main living areas. So we ended all corridors, ”called the mayor.
Open-Plan living rooms and kitchens serve as the heart of the house, designed to encourage both relaxation and social interaction. The kitchen’s exudes understood the elegance with smooth eucalyptus wooden panels, integrated mile devices and a Calcutta marble dining table, which is easily extended to accommodate more guests. A strategically placed block of marble supports the countertop, which offers an unexpected design expansion and gives it the illusion of floating.
Eliminating the requirement of traditional radiators, using ceramic tiles in maintenance simplifies maintenance and supports underfallor heating. Eucalyptus veneer combines heat and texture, basically combining with minimal decoration. In particular, the mayor’s decision to release the curtain in the living room allows the natural landscape to become a living artwork, which is specificly designed by Angeld Windowzil.
The primary bedroom is a cool retreat, complete with an enclosed bathroom and a private dressing room. The bathroom reminiscent of luxury hotel suits has glass divisions that balance privacy with openness. Highlights include a Roso Imperial marble sink and refined fixtures from Hansgroome and Catalano, while the guest bathroom shows an enlightened Petagonia marble washbasin, which adds a touch of sophisticated glamor.
A multidisciplinary room, refers to as the “uncertain work room”, currently serves as the office of Koshulinsky, but is designed to adapt easily in nursery or additional stay space as required. . This flexibility reflects the couple’s foresight in building a house that develops with them.
Completed in only six and a half months, the km house is a symbol of the essence of modern minimalism, where every element provides a purpose, and every detail contributes to a harmonious environment that is “for the soul”.
