What We Actually Do

Look, we're not gonna throw fancy jargon at you. Here's the real deal on how we help bring your vision to life - from that first sketch on a napkin to watching the builders pack up their tools.

Architecture services

Our Services Breakdown

We've been doing this for years, and honestly, every project teaches us something new. Here's what we're really good at, explained without the corporate speak.

Residential Architecture Design

Creating homes that actually work for how you live

We get it - your home isn't just walls and a roof. It's where life happens. Whether you're dreaming of a cozy apartment renovation or a full-scale villa, we'll sit down with you (coffee's on us) and figure out what you really need. Not what some magazine says you should want.

Week 1-2: Initial Consultation

We meet, talk about your lifestyle, budget, and those Pinterest boards you've been collecting. No judgment.

Week 3-5: Concept Development

Sketches, mood boards, 3D renders - we'll show you different directions and tweak till it feels right.

Week 6-10: Detailed Design

This is where we nail down every detail - materials, fixtures, that perfect shade of blue you wanted.

Week 11-12: Documentation

All the technical drawings and permits sorted. The boring stuff, but crucial.

Commercial Building Planning

Spaces that make business sense, not just look pretty

Commercial projects are a different beast. We've done offices where people actually want to show up, retail spaces that flow naturally, and mixed-use buildings that balance everyone's needs. It's about understanding how people move, work, and interact with space.

Week 1-3: Feasibility Study

Site analysis, zoning checks, and making sure your vision's actually doable within budget.

Week 4-8: Schematic Design

Big picture stuff - layout, flow, how the building sits on the site and relates to surroundings.

Week 9-16: Design Development

Getting into the nitty-gritty - structural systems, MEP coordination, material specs.

Week 17-20: Construction Documents

Complete set of drawings and specs for bidding and construction. Everything a builder needs.

Interior Space Optimization

Making every square meter count

Got a weird layout? Wasted space? Rooms that just don't work? We've seen it all. Sometimes it's about knocking down a wall, sometimes it's just rethinking how you use what you've got. Our job is finding solutions that make you wonder why it wasn't like this from the start.

Week 1: Space Assessment

We measure everything, take photos, and talk about what's driving you crazy about the current setup.

Week 2-4: Layout Alternatives

Multiple options to compare - sometimes the best solution isn't the obvious one.

Week 5-7: Interior Design

Materials, colors, lighting, furniture layout - making it look as good as it functions.

Week 8: Implementation Plans

Detailed drawings and schedules so contractors know exactly what to do.

Sustainable Construction Consulting

Green building without the greenwashing

Sustainability isn't a buzzword for us - it's about smart decisions that save you money and reduce environmental impact. Better insulation, natural ventilation, solar orientation, material choices. Real solutions that make sense for Ukrainian climate and your wallet long-term.

Week 1-2: Environmental Analysis

Site conditions, climate data, existing building performance if it's a renovation.

Week 3-4: Strategy Development

Identifying opportunities - passive design, renewable energy, water conservation, material selection.

Week 5-6: Performance Modeling

Running simulations to predict energy use and comparing different approaches.

Ongoing: Implementation Support

We stick around during construction to make sure green features are installed properly.

Urban Development Projects

Thinking bigger - neighborhoods, not just buildings

Urban projects are complex - lots of stakeholders, regulations, and moving parts. We've worked on mixed-use developments, public spaces, and master planning. It's about creating places where communities thrive, balancing density with livability, and respecting Kyiv's unique character.

Month 10+: Implementation

These projects take years. We provide ongoing architectural services through each phase.

Heritage Building Restoration

Honoring history while adding modern functionality

Kyiv's got incredible architectural heritage, and honestly, it's a privilege working on these buildings. It's detective work - understanding original construction methods, finding hidden details, and figuring out how to bring modern comforts without losing what makes these places special.

Month 1-2: Historical Research

Digging through archives, old photos, original drawings if we're lucky. Understanding the building's story.

Month 3-4: Condition Assessment

Structural engineers, materials specialists - figuring out what needs fixing and what can stay.

Month 5-8: Restoration Design

Balancing preservation requirements with modern building codes and client needs.

Common Questions We Get

Figured we'd answer these upfront to save you some time

Honestly, it varies a lot. Small residential projects might start around 8-10% of construction cost, larger commercial stuff can be 6-8%. Heritage work's usually more because of the research involved. We'll give you a specific number after understanding your project scope. Just know that cheap architecture usually means expensive problems later.

Legally? Sometimes yes, especially if you're touching structural elements or changing the building's footprint.
