About Us - Xylon Quintaris Architecture

Our Story, Without the Fluff

Started back in 2012 in a cramped Kyiv office with three laptops and way too much coffee. We had this idea that architecture shouldn't just look good in magazines - it's gotta live and breathe with the people using it.

Fast forward to now, and we've worked on everything from residential lofts to commercial complexes across Ukraine. What hasn't changed? We still obsess over every detail, still argue about window placements, and yeah, still drink too much coffee.

Sustainability isn't some marketing angle for us. Growing up here, seeing how buildings affect neighborhoods and environments - that stuff sticks with you. Every project we take on needs to earn its place, not just fill space.

Team Members

Meet the Team

The people who turn sketches into reality. Everyone here brings something different to the table, which is exactly how we like it.

Dmytro Kovalenko

Founding Principal

M.Arch, RIBA Chartered

Started this whole thing after realizing corporate architecture wasn't his jam. Spent 8 years at international firms before coming home to build something real. Gets weirdly excited about structural engineering.

Olena Shevchenko

Design Director

M.Arch, LEED AP

The one who makes sure we're not just building boxes. Has this uncanny ability to see spaces before they exist. Studied in Berlin, brought back some seriously fresh perspectives on urban living.

Viktor Petrenko

Technical Lead

B.Eng, Structural Engineering

Makes sure our wild ideas actually stand up. Former construction site manager who got tired of fixing other people's mistakes. Now he prevents them from happening in the first place.

Kateryna Bondar

Interior Design Lead

M.A. Interior Architecture

Obsessed with how people actually move through spaces. Doesn't believe in wasted square meters. Can source materials you didn't know existed and somehow make them work together perfectly.

Andriy Melnyk

Sustainability Advisor

MSc Environmental Design

Our environmental conscience. Keeps us honest about energy consumption and material choices. Came from renewable energy sector, now applies that knowledge to making buildings that don't drain resources.

Iryna Savchenko

Project Manager

PMP, B.Arch

The reason projects actually finish on time. Somehow keeps track of a million moving parts without breaking a sweat. Former chaos coordinator - wait, we mean project manager - at a major development firm.

How We Actually Work

1

Real Conversations

We skip the formal presentations and just talk. Tell us what's working, what's driving you crazy, what you've been dreaming about. Sometimes the best ideas come from casual chats over coffee.

2

Site Reality Check

We spend real time on location. Walk the neighborhood, check the light at different times, talk to people who live nearby. Can't design a space properly if you're only looking at blueprints.

3

Honest Design Phase

We'll show you multiple directions, not just one "perfect" solution. Architecture's got nuance - there's always trade-offs. We lay 'em all out and figure out together what matters most for your project.

4

Technical Reality

Viktor and the engineering team get involved early. No point falling in love with something that'll break the budget or violate physics. Beautiful designs need solid bones.

5

Build Relationships

We work with contractors we trust and who trust us back. Construction's a team sport - having people who get the vision and won't cut corners makes everything smoother.

6

Stay Connected

We're around during construction, not just for the ribbon cutting. When questions pop up - and they always do - we're there to problem-solve on the spot rather than through a chain of emails.

Wanna Work Together?

Whether you've got detailed plans or just a vague idea you've been thinking about - let's talk. We're always up for interesting projects and good conversations.
