Mazanka is an apartment in a Kyiv skyscraper with a view of the Dnipro river, where ancient construction technologies were used. In the Ukrainian language, мазанка (mazanka) means a small village house built of wood, clay, and reeds. The name comes from the word мазати (mazaty) — to cover something with a layer of clay.
Mazanka apartment is a dialogue of our architects with the past. And its result is a step towards the originality of modern Ukrainian design and Ukrainian culture as it is.

The residential project Tetris Hall consists of two 25 – storey towers which are connected by a bridge at the roof level. The project has been developed on a dense site in the prestige business district of central Kiev.

Residential complex “Respublika” is the largest residential project in the country. The total area will be more than 247 acres. In 2019, the first phase of construction completed. The whole district will be built into more than 10 phases overall.
The basic principles adopted for the development of the 1st phase of the project: midrise buildings, urban block planning, separation of pedestrian zones and vehicles, closed courtyards – open streets. Urban blocks are not classical quadrangular, but pentagonal forms a slightly more lively and unpredictable space. There are more than 40 options of planning solutions realized in the first phase based on our standard of PRO-apartments.
PRO espresso opened just after the lockdown, at the height of last summer. One of the characteristics that differentiates this cafe from the others is the use by the barista of compact Modbar machines instead of the classic ones.
Modbar is visually a single piston and a compact press. Therefore, the owners of PRO espresso asked the founders of YUDIN Design studio to pay all their attention in the interior to the progressive devices and the skills of the barista, who is finally not hidden behind the machine but produces masterpieces based on espresso right in front of the visitor’s eyes!

The architecture was intended to be modern and functional. The interior was supposed to be as neutral as possible, but stylish and attractive. It was important to strike a balance and not go too far in the direction of too pretentious minimalism, to avoid particulars. Therefore, the designer-architect Andrey Sokruta decided to work in the direction of a comfortable minimalism. The working title of the project is also understandable and natural EQ – Equilibrium, which means “place of balance”.
Let’s be honest clients who are ready for such decisions and can afford them do not come to the door of our studio every day. Actually, much like any other studio.
These clients expressed their wishes very clearly: to get a modern and minimalist house that will be a new stage of life for their family after the reserved classics. And they left us to do our job without interfering in the creative process at all. That’s how twins were born.

We created the architecture of the Pine Cove House while minimizing environmental damage. The volumes are arranged so as to integrate the house into the forest space as much as possible.
