REITARSKA HOTEL

SQUARE FOOTAGE: 2088 sc. ft.
YEAR: 2021

The House Hotel on Reitarska is a bridge between Kyiv’s modernism in the era of Abraham Miletsky and the city’s post-Soviet decline. It is where the history of the new Ukraine intersects with the stories of those who will live here for part of their journey.

We are wrapped up in the energy of the home, and especially in the energy of a temporary home.

PLAN
Our hotel features 8 individually designed rooms, each one meticulously crafted to evoke a specific mood and emotion that will leave a lasting impression on our guests. As you explore each room, you will uncover the stories and inspirations behind the design, from the bold and daring to the subtle and sophisticated. From the vivid colours to the ceramic furnishings, each detail has been thoughtfully selected to transport you to another world.

A BRIDGE BETWEEN PAST AND FUTURE
The artistry of clay pervades the very essence of this space, enveloping the walls in a mesmerizing embrace. It morphs and contorts into the shape of a billowing cloud, assuming the form of amulet animals that serve as a bridge between the past and the future. In essence, clay serves as the connective tissue that binds yesterday and tomorrow, infusing this space with a timeless and sophisticated aura.

THE PLAY OF LIGHT
Each room is a theatrical performance with nuanced shades and reflections, an interplay of light and shadow. Engage your senses and immerse yourself in an intriguing experience.

By integrating a theatrical element into the design, MAKHNO Studio has created a dynamic and ever-changing space that stimulates the imagination and invites exploration. This approach reflects his commitment to creating an exceptional experience, going beyond the traditional boundaries of interior design to create a truly memorable and unique environment.

KYIV MODERN STYLE
The oval shapes throughout the design reflect the classic silhouettes of the Kyiv modern style while conveying a sense of innovation and modernity. The repetition of these forms imbues the space with a sense of harmony and balance, while the use of clean lines and minimalist detailing lends a contemporary feel to the overall aesthetic.

ROOMS
The rooms themselves are designed with simplicity and functionality in mind, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the sensory experience without any distractions. The absence of unnecessary details fosters a sense of calm and invites guests to engage with their surroundings in a more meaningful way, creating a space for communication beyond the need for words.

DETAILS
In interior design, it is often the smallest details that make the biggest impact, adding a layer of depth and character to a space. These details serve as bookmarks, anchoring our memories of the most interesting places in the design, just like the bookmarks we use in a book.

Serhii Makhno understands the importance of these details and has incorporated them throughout the project. From the bespoke lighting fixtures to the handmade ceramics, each element has been thoughtfully curated to contribute to the overall aesthetic
