THE LOFT OF TWO ARCHITECTS IN KYIV , WITH ANTRAX IT RADIATORS
A hint of Indonesia , memories of Ukraine and Eurasia and suggestions from France and Italy coexist under the same roof .
The project , called Hayloft , is the house that the two Ukrainian architects of the studio Loft Buro - Oleg Volosovsky and Elena Logvynets , husband and wife - built for their family in Kyiv , imagining it as a collection of cultures , colours , materials , antiques and handicrafts , paintings , graffiti , bas-reliefs , sculptures from their travels and memories of Scythians ’ times . This orchestra of elements , so different and so harmonized with each other , amalgamates with two other characteristics : the large volume of the building - previously used for commercial activities , with exposed systems , metal ceilings , concrete and brick structures , double heights - which has been renovated maintaining a strong industrial appeal ; and , on the other hand , the owners ’ will to create a private refuge where new technologies and sustainability act as a continuous background for the eclectic compositional mix .
