Real Projects, Real Impact

Every building's got its own story. Here's a closer look at how we've been turning ideas into spaces that actually work for people - from the first sketch to the day folks move in.

Podil Heights Residence Residential

Podil Heights Residence

Podil District, Kyiv

We didn't just build another apartment block here - the challenge was fitting 24 modern units into one of Kyiv's oldest neighborhoods without making it stick out like a sore thumb. Took us almost a year working with the city to get the balance right.

Technical Highlights

  • Triple-glazed windows reduced heating costs by 40%
  • Green roof system with native plant species
  • Solar panels covering 60% of common area electricity needs
  • Rainwater collection for garden irrigation
  • Bicycle storage and EV charging stations

"Honestly didn't think they could pull it off, but our apartment stays cool in summer without cranking the AC constantly. The natural light's amazing, and my electricity bills are like half what they were at our old place."

TechHub Kyiv Commercial

TechHub Kyiv

Pechersk District, Kyiv

This one was all about flexibility. Tech companies change fast - they're hiring, they're downsizing, teams move around. So instead of fixing everything in place, we designed spaces that can shift around pretty much however they need. Walls move, services are accessible, lighting adapts.

What Makes It Work

  • Modular partition system - reconfigure in 2 hours
  • Smart climate zones save 35% on HVAC
  • Natural ventilation covers 70% of the year
  • Rooftop solar array plus battery storage
  • Biophilic design with living walls throughout
  • On-site bike repair shop and showers

"We've expanded twice since moving in and didn't have to relocate. The space just... adapts. Our team's productivity went up, and weirdly, sick days went down. Turns out natural light and decent air quality actually matter."

Dmytro S. - Operations Director, TechCorp UA

"Best office space we've leased in Kyiv, period. When we say we need to change the layout, it happens same week. The maintenance team actually knows the building inside-out."

Marina V. - Facility Manager

Obolon Riverside District Urban Planning

Obolon Riverside District

Obolon, Kyiv

This wasn't your typical development - we actually spent 6 months just talking to residents first. Turns out people wanted less parking and more parks. Who knew? Took some convincing with the developers, but the pre-sales numbers backed it up.

Transformation Timeline

Before Development (2021)

Before development

Mostly abandoned industrial space with zero public access to the waterfront.

Current State (2024)

Current development

Mixed-use district with 3km of public riverfront pathways and parks.

Project Features
  • 3 kilometers of continuous riverside promenade
  • Underground parking freed up surface for green zones
  • District heating/cooling from Dnipro water source
  • Dedicated cycling lanes connecting to city network
  • Community gardens managed by local residents
  • Stormwater management through bioswales

"I've lived in Obolon for 20 years and never had proper river access. Now I walk there every morning. My grandkids actually want to visit me now because there's stuff to do outside."

Viktor P. - Local Resident

"Skeptical at first about the parking reduction, but honestly? Most people bike or walk to the shops here anyway. The plaza's always busy, which is great for business."

Yana M. - Cafe Owner

Fun Fact

Bird species in the area increased from 12 to 34 after we added native vegetation and stopped using pesticides.

Merchants Guild Hall Heritage Restoration

Merchants Guild Hall

Kontraktova Square, Kyiv

Man, this one tested our patience. Every layer we peeled back revealed something new - original frescoes, old foundations, you name it. Ended up taking twice as long as planned, but you can't rush 200-year-old craftsmanship.

Europa Nostra Award 2023 for exemplary heritage conservation practices.

"They found original wall paintings we didn't even know existed. Instead of rushing, they brought in specialists and documented everything properly. The building's now a functioning cultural center that actually respects its history."

Dr. Iryna L. - Heritage Conservation Board
