The house is located on Leo Tolstoy Street in Kiev, this is a typical post-war building. At the disposal of the designer was an ordinary two-room apartment in a very neglected state. According to the author of the project, talented Ukrainian designer Olga Akulova, the main task was to effectively use every millimeter of the area.

For such a large-scale reconstruction of the dwelling took a whole year, all work was completed in 2013.

The room had two balconies on opposite sides of the building. One of them went into the courtyard and from the point of view of aesthetics of interest did not represent. Therefore, it was decided to use it to expand the kitchen and living areas. As a separating element, a part of the supporting structure and the step are used.

In order for the room to be filled with natural light, the window space was completely glazed - from floor to ceiling.

The concept of design was to create an open area by the type of studio apartment, but with a separate bedroom, bathroom and dressing room. One of the techniques that visually creates a sense of freedom - it's light, not too massive furniture, occupying an amazingly small space.

Readers have probably noticed that the chair, dining table and chairs are as simple as possible in form and weight.

In color, the preference is given to a calm range of beige shades with bright accents (comfortable armchair of light-lilac shade, dark brown table).

In the reconstructed apartment remained the same ceiling with exposed beams. The interior was only supplemented by an original chandelier with five different size plafonds, LED spot lights with a cylindrical shape and a light floor lamp in the style of minimalism.
