Perched on the 15th floor with panoramic Kyiv views, the 452-square-foot Suprematism Apartment now houses a young couple. Designed by Yevheniia Sytnyk of Dihome, the apartment embraces Ukrainian avant-garde, particularly Kazimir Malevich’s Suprematism Movement.
Sytnyk’s goal was to craft a vibrant, efficient space with a modern, bold theme. “The excellent understanding with the clients allowed me to fully realize this vision,” she says. The design integrates modern materials and smart technology, guided by Suprematism’s geometric shapes and vivid colors. Removing unnecessary walls created an open-plan layout, maximizing natural light, with only the bathroom as a separate space.
Key features include glass blocks and textured glass panels, which define spaces while letting light flow through. Glass blocks adorn the living room and bathroom, while the bedroom and kitchen are separated by textured panels, reflecting both aesthetic appeal and historical significance.
The concrete pillar, a structural element, is incorporated as a design focal point, with a TV zone on one side and a shelving unit on the other. This clever integration maximizes space use.
In the hallway, acoustic panels made from recycled plastic bottles create geometric art that adds color and absorbs sound. Technological features include a “smart home” system for remote control of heating, lighting, and appliances, along with an “anti-flood” system for wet areas.
Space-saving solutions include a sliding curtain wardrobe in the bedroom and a dining table that doubles as a work surface. A mirrored wall enhances the sense of space, making the compact apartment feel larger. Floor-to-ceiling windows and electric wooden blinds maintain the minimalist aesthetic while offering practical shading and expanding the visual space.
