Full Renovation of a 50 m² Apartment in Ridny Residential Complex
Full renovation of a 50 m² apartment in Ridny Residential Complex in Hatne, Kyiv Oblast — from a bare concrete shell to a finished turnkey home. Ridny Residential Complex is located in the village of Hatne, Kyivo-Sviatoshynsky District, Kyiv Oblast, at 2/2 Pokrovska Street — developer Samsonovych Ivan Andriiovych. The apartment was handed over in rough-finish condition: bare concrete ceiling with slab joints, walls with coarse plaster, corrugated electrical conduits routed through chases, and only chalk layout markings on the floor. Work covered the kitchen-living room, combined bathroom, and entryway; no replanning was carried out, but the space was designed as an open studio with clear zoning. Demolition began with a full strip of walls and ceiling, after which a cement floor screed was poured with underfloor heating pipes laid along the walls. Machine plaster was applied to the walls, then an electrical panel was installed and new wiring runs were laid for the track lighting system. In the bathroom, waterproofing was applied, a rough screed was poured with a floor-level shift and precise positioning of drainage outlets per the design layout. Next came tiling: the bathroom was fully clad in large-format travertine-look tiles (≥60×60 cm) on walls and floor; the shower zone is separated by a glass enclosure on a black aluminium profile with a linear drain in the floor, and a wall-hung toilet with concealed cistern was installed. In the kitchen, the floor was covered with light laminate or LVT planks; the kitchen unit was assembled with MDF facades in matte green for the upper cabinets and oak-effect film for the lower modules; the splashback is ceramic concrete-look tile with LED strip lighting under the upper cabinets. A standout feature: the entryway houses a built-in wardrobe with white matte MDF facades concealing the backup power system — a LiFePO4 MUST battery, inverter, and electrical panel with circuit breakers. All equipment is fully hidden behind drop-down doors with unobstructed service access. In the bathroom, a built-in two-compartment wall cabinet is mounted above the toilet: one section holds an Ariston water heater, the other houses cartridge water filters. The client received a fully finished studio apartment with installed plumbing, assembled furniture, connected backup power, and configured track lighting on a matte stretch ceiling. The KyivReno team delivered this turnkey project with a dedicated personal site manager and a fixed price in the contract — the full scope from bare shell to final clean.
