Turnkey Designer Renovation of 78 m² in Krystalevi Dzherela Residential Complex

Designer renovation of a 78 m² two-level apartment in Krystalevi Dzherela Residential Complex in Teremky, Kyiv — from demolition to full move-in readiness. Krystalevi Dzherela is a monolithic-frame comfort-class complex by developer KSM-GROUP at 42 Metrolohichna St. in Holosiivskyi District. The apartment was handed over by the developer as a bare shell — without floor screed, plaster, or internal partitions, with a reinforced-concrete staircase flight between the levels. The client tasked the team with creating a bespoke interior with an open-plan layout on the first level, defined kitchen and living room zones, and full bedrooms on the second. On the first level, a continuous floor screed with subfloor preparation was laid, walls were machine-plastered, and a matte stretch ceiling installed. The living room and corridor floors are laid with large-format porcelain tile in a light oak finish in the classic herringbone pattern, which also covers the accent wall between the panoramic windows — a technique that merges floor and wall into a single plane. The U-shaped kitchen set features powder-pink MDF facades with a routed profile and concealed black handles; the island and worktop surfaces are crafted from natural marble with prominent veining. The kitchen zone floor is separated from the living room by vintage geometric tile with a diamond-shaped ornament in grey-blue-brown tones. Electrical wiring was run from scratch with separate circuits for lighting, outlets, climate control, and appliances. Black Gorenje built-in appliances (oven and microwave) are integrated flush into the cabinet facades. On all levels, a black track lighting system on rectangular-contour rails with adjustable surface-mounted spotlights is used — with no concealed cornices or plasterboard structures, preserving maximum ceiling height. The monolithic concrete staircase between levels is covered with a pile carpet in grey-beige for noise reduction; risers and side elements are clad in MDF to match the floor colour; a routed-decor cabinet built under the flight fully utilises the dead space. In the bathrooms, walls are finished with large-format ceramic tile in white marble with grey veining; floors feature light wood-effect tile and Moroccan geometric ornament in different zones. The concealed LEOV boiler is enclosed in a built-in MDF cabinet in a light oak finish with black metal handles, keeping the bathroom neat. In the hallway, the electrical panel with circuit-breaker access is hidden behind hinged doors of a furniture section. The client received a fully move-in-ready two-level apartment with connected appliances, built-in furniture, and a coherent bespoke interior on every level.
