This is an apartment located in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Its original layout featured two floors but the upper level didn’t exactly have a defined function, being nothing more than an empty space. It was transformed into a nicely-organized home where the social areas occupy the lower level and the private spaces are situated on the upper floor.
