The apartment is located on the 4th floor of a residential house, which was built in 1905, in the historical area of Kyiv. The space itself is luminous: all the windows overlook a quiet green park, and the light freely streams through them. Because of the state of the building, a massive renovation of the flat was required.

Since the apartment is located in an old house from the 60s, its main advantage is the ceiling height of more than 3 meters. Another characteristic attribute of old houses is the arch formed by...
