Tidal swirl
Architect: Yaryna Pevna
Location: Lviv, Ukraine
Total area: 42.2 sq.m
Project year: 2020
The apartment is located in the heart of Lviv, Ukraine with a breathtaking view of the Cathedral of Saint George.
Situated on the 12th floor, this 42.2 square meter space was designed to meet the needs of long-term rental while staying within a budget-conscious approach.
Originally the apartment consisted of a separate bedroom and a kitchen area, with two balconies.
The challenge was to transform the apartment into a spacious studio while maintaining defined living areas.
To achieve this, the existing wall between the bedroom and kitchen was removed, creating a seamless open space studio apartment with a small sleeping area.
The design concept for this project embraces minimalism, creating a serene and elegant atmosphere.
The color palette revolves around a harmonious combination of white, deep blue, and light wood. The choice of white as the dominant color brings a sense of purity and simplicity, while the deep blue accents add a touch of sophistication and depth. The use of light wood elements adds warmth and natural texture, creating a balanced and inviting ambiance.

The layout of the apartment maximizes functionality and provides ample storage solutions, making it ideal for long-term residents. Attention to detail and the use of robust materials in the design ensure that the design of the space is timeless and highly functional.
High-quality, long-lasting materials have been chosen to withstand the demands of regular use, ensuring both comfort and longevity.

In order to provide a visual distinction and create an interior with different activity zones, the bedroom was separated from the studio with an industrial grid glass wall.
This choice of room divider creates a sense of privacy in the bedroom and allows a natural light into the studio while also providing a sense of harmonious connection between the kitchen and living room area.
