A two-storey apartment is located in Kyiv downtown, in the house built in the last century by a famous architect Joseph Karakis. The architecture of the building, the historical context that surrounds it, the view on St. Sophia Cathedral from the apartment’s windows, and the unique atmosphere of the old city — all of this became the semantic background and the starting point for renovation of the apartment.

一套两层高的公寓位于基辅市中心，在上个世纪由著名建筑师约瑟夫·卡拉基斯建造的房子里。这栋建筑的建筑、周围的历史背景、从公寓窗户上看到圣索菲亚大教堂的景色，以及旧城独特的氛围-所有这些都成为公寓翻新的语义背景和起点。

When thinking through the new concept of the interior, the authors chose natural textures, restrained colors, and natural, eco-friendly materials that don’t go out of fashion and age beautifully. Timeless solutions were complemented by bright accents: furniture and decorations, personalized design elements and art objects.

当思考内部的新概念时，作者选择了自然的纹理，克制的颜色，和自然的，环保的材料，不过时和年代美丽。永恒的解决方案辅之以明亮的口音：家具和装饰品、个性化的设计元素和艺术品。

The apartment has two storeys. The lower one has kitchen, dining room, living room, and bathroom on it. The second level that can be reached via a sculptural staircase has a bedroom, a study and library room, and a shower rooms with skylight windows. The room layout remained the same, the changes mostly concerned finishing and decorative elements.

这套公寓有两层楼。下边有厨房、餐厅、起居室和浴室。通过雕塑楼梯可以到达的第二层有卧室、书房和图书馆，还有带天窗的淋浴间。房间布局保持不变，变化主要涉及装修和装饰元素。

After rethinking the visual concept, the authors decided to introduce natural colors and materials to the interior, each having its unique visual characteristics. This was how natural stone, wood, blown glass, and metal found their way to the apartment.

经过对视觉概念的反思，作者决定将自然色彩和材料引入室内，每一种都有其独特的视觉特征。这就是天然的石头，木头，玻璃和金属如何找到他们的方式到公寓。

Renovation began with changing wall color and texture — in the living spaces they were plastered with tactile light-olive wallpaper, and in the bathroom they were faced with natural stone, in combination with graphic metal elements.

装修的开始是改变墙壁的颜色和质地-在生活空间里，他们用淡色的橄榄墙纸抹了泥，在浴室里，他们面对着天然的石头，结合着图形的金属元素。

In the living room, to contrast the monochromatic white, grey, and black surfaces, there are azure armchairs and the atmosphere of old Kyiv that bursts into the interior through large windows. In the bedroom, there are several new elements: a bright-blue chandelier from blown glass, created by the studio’s designers, artsy headboard, and an unusual metal construction that frames the window beautifully.

在客厅里，对比一下单色的白色、灰色和黑色的表面，有蔚蓝的扶手椅和从大窗户冲进室内的旧基辅的气氛。卧室里有几个新元素：一盏由玻璃吹制而成的亮蓝色吊灯，由工作室的设计师们设计的，艺术的床头板，以及一种不寻常的金属结构，它把窗户镶得很漂亮。

Metal in a certain form is present in all rooms: it was used to decorate window slopes, to sheathe the fireplace, and metal decorative elements were also integrated into bathroom and bedroom. The final detail in the apartment’s design were Ukrainian contemporary art pieces, which put a semantic full stop to design, attract attention and provoke thoughts.

所有房间都有某种形式的金属：用来装饰窗台，遮挡壁炉，金属装饰元素也被整合到浴室和卧室中。公寓设计的最后细节是乌克兰当代艺术作品，这为设计、吸引注意力和激发思想提供了一个语义句号。
