The principles that guide my work — Architecture for People.

I capture my focus on creating architecture and places that center on the experience of the people who use them, and are sensitive to the context in which they reside. I look at each project and consider the context, I think about its public nature and how the spaces I create can be enhanced and transformed.

The work of mine combines a strong conceptual and theoretical approach with a thorough study of programmatic needs, with the aim of addressing contemporary issues in architecture.

In this spirit, I embrace challenges and scales of work ranging from buildings to public spaces to interiors, and across cultural, residential and commercial uses.

My primary goal is that my designs should achieve a maximum effect with a minimum of conceptual and material means. One of the dominant elements of my work is minimalist. I believe that space, form and light is the main concept of buildings. It is expressed in the principle “Less is more”.

Residential building

location Kiev, Ukraine
area 3900 m²
architect Daria Yurkevich
award The National Union Of Architects Of Ukraine

The building contains 50 dwellings(with a space area of 41-70 m2) in five floors, the ground floor is intended for 2 commercial premises, and the underground level for 21 parking spaces.

The challenge was to foster ideas for low cost housing which could be built affordably.
Our solution used a simple yet architecturally potent structural system: the longitudinally aligned carrying walls in the upper stories and precast concrete floor slabs. This system of construction is precise, rapid, and economical.

The building is designed with an emphasis on simplicity and functionality. The clean lines of the white facade combined with the texture of the gray brick cladding creates a modern and timeless appearance. The use of sliding lattice panels not only provides sun protection but also adds a unique touch to the building’s design. The facade is dynamic and ever-changing.
