Six contemporary interiors by Ukrainian designers that showcase the nation's creativity

image

Dicentra florist by Rina Lovko Studio

As the ongoing Russian invasion forces designers and architects to shut their studios and seek safety, interior designer Katerina Kovalenko selects six interiors that represent contemporary Ukrainian design for this special lookbook.

These projects from the Dezeen archive show how Ukrainian designers mix different cultural eras in contemporary residential and commercial projects.

Before the Russian invasion, Ukrainian design was in a confident position, expressing the optimism of a culturally rich country.

Ukrainian style often combines references to artisanal traditions, such as in the Faina Gallery project, and the Soviet past, such as in the Kovalska office project, where mosaics from the Soviet era were taken as a reference.

This is a special edition of our lookbooks series, which provides curated visual inspiration from Dezeen's image archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks showcasing parquet wooden flooring, cavernous interiors and coastal hotel rooms with sea views.

Faina Gallery, Belgium, by Yakusha Design

Ukrainian studio Yakusha Design created the showroom for its own furniture line Faina in Antwerp, Belgium, with a muted colour scheme that was informed by moss and soil.

The shades, which were chosen to evoke the natural world, are meant to "convey this feeling of grounding serenity in the interior," explained Yakusha founder Victoria Yakusha.

The studio's furniture is showcased throughout the space and comes in matching green and grey hues.

Say No Mo, Ukraine, by Balbek Bureau

Local design studio Balbek Bureau created this salon-cum-cocktail bar to avoid gender stereotypes by staying away from colours and textures normally used in beauty salons.

Instead, the studio focused on contrasting textures such as concrete walls and gold-coloured panelling. Sculptural beige and grey furniture decorates the space, which also features a doorway fitted with rows of exposed bulbs and a glass-topped ball pit.

Virgin Izakaya Bar, Ukraine, by YODEZEEN

Located in Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, this Japanese izakaya – a bar that serves drinks and small plates of food – was designed by YODEZEEN to blend the existing architecture of the industrial building with more contemporary features.

The studio used weathered wood and copper to add warmth to the space but kept its brick walls and concrete surfaces bare. To create zones within the space, YODEZEEN added oxidised metal panels and metal mesh details.

Kovalska office, Ukraine, by Artem Trigubchak and Lera Brumina

Designed for a Ukrainian developer and building materials company called Kovalska, this office is set inside a Soviet-era factory in Kyiv's industrial district of Obolon.

Creative duo Artem Trigubchak and Lera Brumina divided the large space up by using concrete slabs, sand and paving stones, which was also used to create much of the furnishings.

"We are endlessly inspired and love the architecture of the Soviet period, and we really wanted to create a comfortable working space without violating the architectural context," they explained.

Kyiv apartment, Ukraine, by Olga Fradina

Dark colours and natural textures create a cosy atmosphere in this Kyiv apartment, located on the top floor of a five-storey Soviet apartment building and designed by Olga Fradina.

The designer switched the bedroom and kitchen in the flat to create a large, open-plan living space filled with furniture and accessories in different natural materials. Apart from the sofa and dining chairs, Fradina designed all the furniture herself.

Kyiv florist, Ukraine, by Rina Lovko Studio

The minimalist interior of this retail space for a wholesale flower supplier was designed on a tight budget but still features arresting details such as polished terrazzo fixtures and mirrored surfaces.

Rina Lovko Studio created textured walls and floors to give the store a deliberately unfinished look.

"The idea was to make everything look untouched," said the studio, "as if we had come, put down furniture and the store started working."

Studio Nor scatters chunky stucco walls throughout Qinhuangdao hotpot restaurant

image

Angled beige stucco walls frame pathway through Jin Sheng Long restaurant in Qinhuangdao designed by Studio Nor

Thickset stucco walls hide unsightly structural panels inside this branch of restaurant chain Jin Sheng Long, which Studio Nor has designed in Qinhuangdao, China.

Jin Sheng Long is a historic eatery known for serving hotpots and baodu – a traditional tripe dish. Since opening its first outpost in Beijing in the late 19th century, the restaurant has expanded into a chain with a number of outlets nationwide.

Angled beige stucco walls frame pathway through Jin Sheng Long restaurant in Qinhuangdao designed by Studio NorStructural panels found throughout Jin Sheng Long are now enclosed by stucco walls

Its latest outpost in the port city of Qinhuangdao occupies a trio of former retail units on the ground floor of a residential tower.

As a result, the interior is plagued by a number of awkwardly placed structural panels, which Chinese practice Studio Nor chose to retain and turn into key design features by encasing them within chunkier stucco-coated walls.

Seating nook with wooden table and benches in front of illuminated display case in restaurant interior designed by Studio NorThe walls demarcate cosy dining nooks

These walls now form a labyrinth of cosy dining nooks that diners can explore, mimicking what Studio Nor describes as the "intricate and meandering" arrangement of stalls in a Chinese food market.

Even the restaurant's wooden tables and benches were chosen to resemble the furniture found in these markets.

Wooden dining set up between angled walls in Jin Sheng Long restaurant The restaurant's tables and chairs resemble those found in a food market

"We got inspiration from Jin Sheng Long's history," the studio said.

"Back in the late Qing Dynasty, the founder of the restaurant started his business by setting up street stalls in Beijing's famous old Dong'an Market – a then-popular destination full of dazzling attractions and bustling with life and activities."

The structural panels located in the centre of the room also serve a decorative function, with their enclosing walls set at unexpected angles and finished with curved niches for displaying bonsai trees, vases and other ornaments.

A bar is located towards the rear of Jin Sheng Long's Qinhuangdao restaurant, in the only part of the room that is uninterrupted by structural panels.

This area is anchored by an eight-metre-long counter, which is raised up on a stage-like brick plinth to highlight the theatricality of the drinks preparation process.

Studio Nor expanded the restaurant's windows to bring in more natural light and lined their inner frames with copper in a nod to the traditional cookware used to serve hotpot.

Artificial lighting, on the other hand, was kept to a minimum in a bid to draw attention to the few illuminated areas that pop up throughout the interior.

Elsewhere in Qinhuangdao, BLUE Architecture Studio found another clever way of concealing unattractive structural elements when designing the Zolaism cafe.

Here, the studio disguised the building's support columns as huge craggy boulders.

Ten homes with decorative parquet wooden flooring

1930s apartment, Portugal, by Aboim Inglez Arquitectos

Our latest lookbook highlights 10 homes with decorative parquet flooring including a Victorian terraced home and 1930s apartment feature in Portugal.

Parquet flooring is a traditional style of hardwood flooring, that is used to create decorative and mosaic-like patterns in homes and interior settings.

The decorative hardwood flooring is made from short wooden battens that are slotted and placed together in often intricate, geometric and mosaic arrangements.

Parquet flooring rose in popularity during the 1600s as it became a favoured option with European aristocracy, offering an alternative to decorative marble floors that required less maintenance.

It can be installed in a number of different patterns including, herringbone, Versailles, chevron and chantilly.

This is the latest in our series of lookbooks providing curated visual inspiration from Dezeen's image archive. For more inspiration see previous lookbooks showcasing cavernous interiors, bright-white kitchens and self-designed homes by architects and designers.

Soho House Nashville opens in Music City hosiery factory

Soho House Nashville opens

A former hosiery factory in Nashville has been converted into a Soho House hotel and members' club, designed with nods to its industrial setting and the city's musical heritage.

The launch of Soho House Nashville earlier this week marks the company's second location in the American South, following the opening of the Austin house in 2021.

Club RoomSoho House Nashville has opened in the May Hosiery Building

The May Hosiery Building, constructed in the early 1900s in the Tennessee city's artsy Wedgewood-Houston neighbourhood, now contains a series of club spaces and accommodation.

The Soho House design team used the building's industrial past and Nashville's reputation as the Music City to inform the renovation and decor.

"The house design is influenced by a strong pre-war, European aesthetic, connecting to the building's history with Bauhaus-inspired, striking geometric patterns, bold industrial finishes, and bespoke fixtures," said the team.

Members' Club areas divided by metal shelvingMetal shelving divides spaces in the Club Room

Playing on the colour of original verdigris copper doors, various teal shades were used across the different spaces to visually tie them together.

Meanwhile, the striped tiling around the swimming pool evokes the pattern of a guitar string board.

"Music City influences do not escape Soho House Nashville with its warm, rich textures of the rock and roll era and decorative patterns that nod to the jazz and blues genres," the design team said.

Cabana beds flanking the swimming poolStriped tiling around the pool is designed to mimic a guitar string board

The building contains three indoor and outdoor performance spaces, a pool, a health club and a screening room.

Food is offered at Club Cecconi's, the first in-house restaurant of the Cecconi's chain of Italian eateries owned by the Soho House group.

Big bedroomSoho House Nashville's hotel has 47 bedrooms that vary in size

At the heart of the building, the Club Room is divided by industrial metal shelving into intimate spaces including a library with a fireplace and a games area.

The Sock Room also celebrates the factory's prior use for producing socks that astronauts wore to the moon, and now hosts live music and events.

Referencing the machinery once housed in the space, bespoke bar lamps with an industrial aesthetic contrast softer materials like velvet and textured sheer linen.

Soho House Nashville has 47 bedrooms that range in size, including a large loft suite that spans over three floors.

Cozy bedroomBedrooms all have large chandeliers and a variety of textiles

The rooms are furnished with bespoke, locally made designs and vintage accessories, as well as large chandeliers and metal screens that conceal the bathrooms.

"Each bedroom has been designed to feel traditional and cosy with woven tapestries, made with bespoke fabric designed in Nashville specifically for the house, to hide all TVs," said the team.

Cozy bedroom detailThe rooms feature a mix of bespoke local furniture and vintage accessories

A total of 170 pieces were acquired from 41 local artists to be displayed throughout the hotel and club areas.

They join the wider art collection exhibited in the Soho House locations across the globe, which the company has gradually added to its portfolio since its founding in London in 1995.

BathroomMetal screen doors enclose the bathrooms

Along with Austin, the group's outposts in North America include Soho Warehouse in Downtown Los Angeles and Dumbo House in Brooklyn.

It's not surprising that the brand chose to open in Nashville – one of several southern US cities that has seen a recent influx of young creative people, and therefore an expanded repertoire of cultural and entertainment venues.

Also new to the city's dining and drinking scene is The Twelve Thirty Club , which is owned by restauranteur Sam Fox and musician Justin Timberlake.

Rise Design Studio opts to "reuse and recycle" for Carousel restaurant interior

image

Lightwell in Carousel restaurant by RISE Design Studio

London restaurant Carousel has moved to a new venue but taken many of its old fixtures and fittings with it, thanks to an environmentally conscious approach from Rise Design Studio.

Founded seven years ago by brothers Ollie and Ed Templeton, the restaurant has moved into three converted Georgian townhouses in Fitzrovia, with dining rooms on two floors.

Rise Design Studio designed the original Carousel restaurant in Marylebone, so the architects decided to be as resourceful as possible when repeating the formula in a new location.

Carousel restaurant by RISE Design StudioCarousel occupies three converted Georgian townhouses in Fitzrovia

Several design elements from the original restaurant have been repurposed in the new location.

These include the tall metal-clad entrance door, which can now be found at the entrance to one of the dining rooms, and a copper light window that is now installed internally rather than externally. A set of Spanish wall tiles were also carefully removed and now serve as floor tiles.

These are combined with new colours and textures, from materials such as painted brickwork and terrazzo-style tiles.

"Carousel 2.0 was an opportunity to create new spaces which didn't exist in the original Carousel," said Rise Design Studio director Imran Jahn. "But we also did not want to lose the feel of the original."

"We wanted to re-use and recycle," he told Dezeen. "We wanted previous customers and returning guest chefs to be reminded of Carousel 1.0, so we proposed to retain finishes, fixtures and fittings and use them again here."

The new property gives the restaurant enough space for several dining rooms and kitchens plus, for the first time, a wine bar.

On the ground floor, the bar sits in between an all-day dining room and a space for Carousel's ever-changing roster of guest chefs. The former faces the street, while the latter is lit from above through a lightwell.

There's also a separate diner-style restaurant space intended for new dining concept launches, which is currently occupied by Goila Butter Chicken.

Upstairs, a subdividing lounge/events space leads through to a private dining room.

"Ed and Ollie had scoped out a draft layout of the various zones they wanted to create before we were introduced to the project," said Jahn. "They needed our design expertise in interiors to help bring it all together."

A consistent element throughout the interior is the use of industrial-style Crittall screens and doors, which are infilled with fluted glass.

Several rooms feature walls finished with a type of Nordic plaster that comes in different colours and creates a smooth, durable and multi-tonal surface. The guest kitchen is a mid-grey shade, while the private dining room is soft green.

Other details include concrete counters with wooden slatted fronts, exposed steel structural beams and formica tables.

"The overall tone of the proposals brings together the distinct spaces but allows them to sit happily in their individuality," said Jahn.

"The use of Crittall screens throughout and reeded glazing provides for continuity but also an air of mystery for the viewer wanting to find out more about the partially hidden spaces within."

The new Carousel location welcomed its first diners in November 2021. The all-day menu, prepared by Ollie, includes a range of small plates including beef tartare toast, confit pumpkin with burrata and sage, and grilled mackerel flatbread.

"We've been dreaming about this move for a long time," said Ed. "We loved being a part of the Marylebone community, but we genuinely couldn't have imagined a more exciting neighbourhood, or a more fitting home, to be moving into."

"You'll find all the best bits of the old Carousel in the new space, with some fun additions like the neighbourhood wine bar, where you'll finally be able to experience the kind of food that Ollie likes to cook, in an easygoing all-day setting," he added.

Other recent restaurant openings in London include Kol, a Marylebone eatery with a Mexican menu, and Maido, a sushi restaurant in St John's Wood.

Berlin architecture offices

British photographer Marc Goodwin has gone behind the scenes at 12 architecture studios in Berlin including Barkow Leibinger and Sauerbruch Hutton for the latest in his photography series exploring where architects work.

Goodwin, who is the founder of studio Archmospheres, has documented architecture studios in cities across the world including Istanbul, Shanghai and São Paulo.

Following a brief hiatus caused by the coronavirus pandemic, he is now continuing his global tour by visiting offices across Europe including those in the German capital.

"We are working our way around Europe at the moment and Berlin is of course one of the major stops on that tour," he told Dezeen.

"The idea was to go there two years ago but a little something got in the way."

The Berlin series offers a glimpse inside 12 architecture studios including Barkow Leibinger, LAVA, Sauerbruch Hutton and Studio Karhard, the designer of the city's renowned nightclub Berghain. The studios range in size from three employees to 140 members of staff and occupy a mix of purpose-built offices and adaptively reused buildings.

Goodwin described the experience as "Vorsprung durch Technik" – referring to the famous slogan of German carmaker Audi, which translates as "progress through technology".

"There was little of the Bohemian Berlin of bygone days – that was what struck me most," Goodwin explained.

"It seemed a very professional place of work and I'll be interested to compare it with upcoming shoots in Munich, Frankfurt and Stuttgart."

Neil Dusheiko transforms London fashion showroom into light-filled home

Man sitting on a staircase behind a wall of gridded glazing inside Danish Mews House by Neil Dusheiko Architects

Architect Neil Dusheiko has converted a showroom in west London into a bright, contemporary residence designed to meet the changing needs of its elderly owners.

Nicknamed Danish Mews House for its minimalist Scandinavian furnishings, the home is tucked away in a quiet mews lane in the Lancaster Gate area.

Exterior of Danish Mews House by Neil Dusheiko ArchitectsThe mews house was once a showroom for the owner's fashion company

Although in recent years the current owners repurposed the building as a showroom and warehouse for their clothing company, it was originally built as a Georgian coach house for storing horse-drawn carriages.

Dusheiko's primary concerns when converting the property into a home were bringing in more light, as well as making sure that the interior could support its inhabitants as they grow older.

Light wood kitchen with seating area and glazed wall looking out at a stairwellThe main kitchen and sitting room are on the first floor

For this purpose, the house was fitted with a guest bedroom, kitchenette and toilet on the ground floor, which could ultimately be used by the inhabitants themselves in case their mobility becomes restricted.

A lift was installed to provide easy access to the upper floors of the house, which can also be reached via a central staircase.

In the stairwell, a newly installed skylight and a wall of gridded glazing on the first-floor landing allow sunlight to seep into the interior.

Behind the glass partition lies a sitting room and a kitchen with oatmeal-coloured cabinetry as well as a small dining area.

Both here and throughout the rest of the home, several of the furnishings were sourced from well-known Danish design brands including Carl Hansen, Louis Poulsen and Montana.

The second floor is illuminated by six new dormer windows and accommodates another two bedrooms plus their respective en-suite bathrooms.

The principal bedroom is largely clad in wood, save for a section on the rear wall that is finished in chintzy floral wallpaper.

Glazed doors with black metal frames run along one side of the room and can be slid open to access a sun terrace lined in Douglas fir battens.

Danish Mews House is one of several residential projects that Neil Dusheiko has completed in London.

Previously, the architect created a home for his father-in-law in Stoke Newington, in which a striking wall of shelving is used to display ceramics and glassware.

Dusheiko also overhauled a home in Hammersmith, introducing a curved brick extension and a cinema room.

Alex Meitlis uses plaster and terrazzo to create pink tones in Ottolenghi Chelsea

image

Red banquette seating at Ottolenghi Chelsea

London deli chain Ottolenghi has taken a new approach with its latest venue, styled by interior designer Alex Meitlis with a palette of warm pink and red hues.

Ottolenghi Chelsea features bare plaster walls, pink terrazzo tiles, red upholstered seating and rattan seats.

The look is a departure from the other Ottolenghi delis, where the design is typically more bright and minimal.

Meitlis has been behind the design of all the other delis, as well as sister restaurants Nopi and Rovi, which all feature the food of Israeli chef Yotam Ottolenghi and business partners Noam Bar and Sami Tamimi.

Here the idea was to make more of a statement, using colours that match the Ottolenghi tableware collection recently launched by Serax.

In the same spirit, the shopfront and exterior signage bring in vibrant shades of yellow, blue and turquoise.

Ottolenghi ChelseaClay plaster walls are left exposed

"I take my approach from looking very closely at Yotam's approach to his food," said Meitlis, who has studios both in London and Tel Aviv.

"It's about taking very basic ingredients but using them in a slightly different way."

The clay plaster on the walls was made using recycled bricks, which provide the warm terracotta colour.

The multi-tonal character of this material is emphasised by curving walls that offer a play of light and shadow.

Meitlis worked with artist Ivo Bisignano – who also designed the tableware collection – to create the restaurant's distinctive floor, where pink terrazzo alternates with white tiles to create a striped effect.

The same terrazzo also features on wall surfaces at the front of the space and behind the deli counter.

Entrance and waiting area in Ottolenghi ChelseaUpholstered banquettes have a graphic feel, with cylindrical cushions

The upholstered banquettes bring a geometric element to the design, combining blocky seats with cylindrical cushions. The choice of red fabric allows these to become the most eye-catching elements in the space.

They are paired with white circular tables and Mies van der Rohe-designed MR Chairs, which introduce more curves.

Other elements include the familiar deli counter, where the cakes, pastries and salads create an appetising display.

"We usually start from scratch; almost all elements of the design are made specifically," Meitlis told Dezeen. "The only items we bought were the iconic Mies chairs."

"Once again, it's about mirroring the brand's attitude; all the food is made in the kitchen, with few elements pre-prepared."

Exterior of Ottolenghi ChelseaThe facade features shades of yellow, blue and turquoise

Ottolenghi Chelsea opened in January 2022 and is located on Pavilion Road, in a converted Victorian stable building that is now home to various independent retail brands.

Dishes for Ottolenghi delis and restaurants are developed at the brand's test kitchen in Holloway, which was recently overhauled by Studiomama with pops of saffron yellow and raspberry red.

McLaren Excell unveils minimalist London headquarters for Samsung Design Europe

Spruce partitions and furnishings in Samsung Design Europe's minimalist office by McLaren Excell

Only a handful of spruce partitions carve up the pared-back interior of this London office, which McLaren Excell has created for Samsung's European design studio.

Set inside a 21-storey tower known as the Can of Ham building, Samsung Design Europe is one of the tech company's seven product design hubs across the globe, with other outposts located in the US, China, Brazil, India, Japan and South Korea.

Local architecture studio McLaren Excell said it devised the minimalist interior for the London headquarters to "consign the formality of the workspace to the past".

Spruce partitions and furnishings in Samsung Design Europe's minimalist office by McLaren ExcellSpruce wood partitions break up the Samsung Design Europe headquarters

"[The office] instead embraces a more relaxed, informal and experiential place of work," explained the firm's co-founder Luke McLaren.

"We want the Samsung office to have all the qualities that are enjoyable about your home – a softness, a sense of calm, a high degree of tactility, spaces to congregate, spaces to which one can withdraw – but all the while nurturing that sense of welcome, of belonging, of enjoyment."

As a result, the office features just a handful of glue-laminated spruce partitions that loosely split the floor plan into private meeting rooms and communal zones where staff members can engage in more collaborative work.

Spruce glulam also forms a series of vertical fins, which appear at intervals along the office's windows.

In the breakout area, the same pale-toned timber was used to craft the dining table, counter and benches.

Grey linen curtains that hang from tracks on the ceiling can be used to further divide up the open-plan office while bringing a sense of tactility to the interior.

In an effort to make the HQ seem more relaxed and inviting, planters overspilling with foliage were embedded into the top of the desk banks.

McLaren Excell also abandoned a traditional lighting grid in favour of fitted lamps, which illuminate pockets of the office in more targeted and intimate ways.

The architecture studio was founded by Luke McLaren and Robert Excell in 2010 and is based in London's Chelsea neighbourhood.
