45 m² Apartment Renovation in Ridny Residential Complex, Hatne

Full renovation of a 45 m² apartment in Ridny Residential Complex, Hatne village, Kyiv Oblast — from bare concrete to move-in ready. Ridny Residential Complex is a nine-storey comfort-class development completed in 2021, with a monolithic frame structure, individual gas heating and a gated territory. The apartment was handed over by the developer with a rough screed, plastered walls and basic electrical wiring — the standard handover condition for this complex. The team’s task was to fit out the open-plan kitchen-living room, bedroom, bathroom and hallway in a neutral palette with natural wood accents. Demolition work was minimal — only chasing for additional electrical points and preparing walls for finish skim-coating was required. In the kitchen, the layout was designed around a load-bearing monolithic column, which was integrated into a tall tower unit housing a built-in oven and microwave. The floor was levelled with a machine screed, walls were brought to Q3 standard for painting, and in the bathroom a concealed cistern frame for a wall-hung toilet was installed. The bathroom walls were clad in large-format 60×60 porcelain tiles with a dark grey marble effect and white veining; the floor was finished in wood-effect porcelain tiles for contrast. The acrylic bathtub was fitted with a frameless glass partition, creating a shower zone without a separate enclosure. In the kitchen, a handleless matte grey MDF kitchen suite with push-to-open facades was installed; the countertop and upper units were finished in a light oak look, with a black composite sink. In the bedroom, a built-in sliding wardrobe with oak-effect and black mirror facades was fitted, along with concealed tracks for blackout curtains and dark brown engineered wood flooring. Throughout the apartment, walnut MDF doors with black glass inserts and matte black hardware were installed, and the ceiling-to-wall joint was finished with a slim black moulding — a graphic outline in place of a traditional skirting board. The apartment is move-in ready with all appliances connected, built-in furniture in place and a working gas boiler. The KyivReno team completed the project turnkey with a fixed contract price, a dedicated site manager and a warranty on all works.
