Minimalism with loft elements and warm notes of Ukrainian art creates a special atmosphere in the workshop that, like a mirror, reflects the owner’s inner being.

The studio with a total area of 200 sq. m combines a showroom and a home-and-work place.

PLAN
“I had an idea to create a space that could inspire not only my team but also our clientele. We want our guests to take on a challenge facing brave and bold experiments”, says Serhii.

TEA ROOM
The main lighting ideas are conveyed based on Makhno’s sketches. Serhii Makhno cherishes the culture of Japan, the country of the rising sun, and honours a tea ceremony. For this reason, he designed a tea room in his studio where together with his friends and visitors the architect can enjoy sipping a fragrant drink. An important element in the workshop is a rich collection of Ukrainian zoomorphic ceramics that integrates harmoniously with the laconic concrete walls and bright Marc Newson “Felt chairs”.

RECEPTION
When you enter the workshop the first thing you lay your eye upon is a huge copper reception wall, chandeliers and décor on Serhii Makhno’s project and one of the main exhibits of the studio – the bronze statue “Rain” by Nazar Bilyk, the famous Ukrainian sculptor. Lighting, room temperature and sound are controlled with the help of smart technology system by using a corporate mobile phone. Entering through the three-meter-high door you will find a spacious business venue for conducting important events and meetings. It is also decorated with the author’s chandeliers and wooden panels. The collection of Ukrainian ceramics decorates the library which counts more than 1000 books on design and architecture brought from all over the world.
