About Darvina Apartment

The Darvina Apartment, nestled in the historical center of Kyiv, Ukraine, showcases a seamless transition between modern living and classical architecture. Designed by Nastia Mirzoyan, this apartment exquisitely embodies the aesthetics of Stalinist-era buildings while providing a contemporary family space.

Spacious Open Concept

Originally, the apartment featured two separate rooms and a kitchen. In redesigning the space, the team merged the living room and kitchen into one expansive area. This open layout enhances the atmosphere, promoting family connections and social engagement. Large windows overlook a serene courtyard, bathing the space in natural light and inviting the changing shadows of the trees within.

Harmonious Interior Design

Merging modern interior design with historical elements, the design maintains a soft and stylish finish that reflects the era’s charm. Each section of the apartment boasts distinct character while contributing to a cohesive narrative. Decorative elements, such as partition shelves and built-in furniture, delineate functional zones without compromising openness.

Textural Contrasts and Accents

The choice of materials plays a crucial role in creating inviting spaces. Oak wood textures, in various shades, contrast beautifully with sleek stainless steel in the kitchen. A striking wooden shelving unit serves both as a decorative piece and a practical storage solution, enhancing the elegance of the common area.

Inviting Lighting and Unique Features

The apartment emphasizes layered lighting, creating cozy zones suitable for any time of day. Mirrored elements at the entrance expand the visual space while enhancing illumination throughout. Broken marble flooring in the entrance and bathroom adds a touch of luxury, with each corner of the apartment forming a unique narrative—a mosaic of comfort, elegance, and personal history.
