Residential concepts · Kyiv · since 2016

A home designed around space, storage, style and budget.

Each concept starts with the four constraints measured, written down and agreed before a single elevation is drawn.

Space
38–140 m² surveyed before any layout decision
Storage
1,200–4,800 litres of closed storage specified per flat
Style
One direction, confirmed in writing before samples
Budget
Design fee ₴55,000–₴210,000, fixed after the survey
Living room of a renovated Kyiv apartment with built-in storage along one wall
Pechersk, Kyiv
84 m² · band B · storage 3,100 l

02 / Constraints

What is measured before the first moodboard?

Four numbers decide the design: floor area, storage volume, one style direction and a budget band. We agree them in writing, then draw.

Space
42–96 m²Surveyed floor area per apartment, measured on site in Kyiv.
Storage
1,800–3,400 LClosed storage per home, counted in litres rather than cupboards.
Style
One directionA single palette and material set signed off before any drawing starts.
Budget
UAH 1,200–1,900 / m²Indicative design fee. The final figure is fixed after the survey and scope approval.

Design work only, no construction management. Compare the three design packages.

04 / Services

What does each service actually cover?

Five design-only workstreams, each with a written scope and a stated boundary before you commit to anything.

  1. 01

    Full residential concept

    Measured plans, elevations and a storage count for every room. Tender support is included; site supervision and fixing drawings are not.

    6–9 weeks
  2. 02

    Single-room redesign

    One room taken through survey, layout options and a buildable drawing set. Other rooms of the flat stay untouched.

    3–4 weeks
  3. 03

    Storage and joinery planning

    Every wardrobe, niche and utility run dimensioned against your real belongings. Cabinetmaker selection stays with you.

    2–3 weeks
  4. 04

    Budget-aligned specification

    A materials and finishes list priced to your band, with substitutes marked. No purchase handling and no cost guarantees before survey.

    2 weeks
  5. 05

    Design review of an existing plan

    A written critique of drawings you already hold, focused on circulation and storage loss. We do not redraw the whole project.

    1 week

Full scope statements, exclusions and fee bands sit on the services page.

03 / Budget

What does a residential design concept cost?

Three indicative fee bands, priced per square metre of measured floor area. Final fees follow the survey and scope approval.

Excludes construction management, furniture procurement and site supervision. Read the scope exclusions or request a survey.

05 / Evidence

Does the constraint-led concept hold up once the flat is built?

Measured after handover: every brief below was written before drawings began, and every result was checked on site rather than estimated from a render.

Stated goalMeasured outcome
Closed storage for a family of four in a 62 m² flat. 9.4 linear metres of full-height storage, and the entry hall gained 2.1 m² of clear floor.
A kitchen where prep, sink and hob stay within three steps. 2.8 m working triangle with a 3.2 m uninterrupted prep run.
Two workstations that keep the guest room usable. 1.8 m² desk alcove, with a 90 × 200 cm guest bed retained.
Renovation kept inside an agreed budget band. Built within band C after a 6-week design phase and a documented contingency.
Delta against the first estimate 18% lower final build cost, with no scope item dropped.

Figures come from three completed apartments in Kyiv, 2023 to 2025, measured on site after handover. See what the design fee excludes.

06 / Process

How long does a residential concept take?

Six steps, roughly nine to fourteen weeks from signed brief to final drawing set, with a fixed deliverable at the end of each one.

  1. 01

    Constraint survey

    We measure every room, count usable storage volume and log the budget band before a single reference image is opened.

    1 week

  2. 02

    Brief and priority order

    A written brief ranks style, storage, space and budget. Where two conflict, the ranking decides, not the moodboard.

    1 week

  3. 03

    Layout options

    Two planning routes with drawn circulation, work zones and storage counts so the trade-offs are visible, not argued.

    2 weeks

  4. 04

    Material and budget allocation

    Finishes priced in bands against the agreed budget, with the savings and the unavoidable costs marked line by line.

    3 weeks

  5. 05

    Drawing set

    Plans, elevations and joinery details your contractor can price and build from, issued as a single dated revision.

    2 to 3 weeks

  6. 06

    Handover session

    A walkthrough of the set with your builder, plus written answers to the open questions raised on site.

    1 week

Durations run from an approved brief. Construction and site management stay with your contractor. Start with a constraint survey
