Full Renovation of a 40 m² Apartment in Ridny Residential Complex

Full renovation of a 40 m² apartment in Ridny Residential Complex in Hatne, Kyiv Oblast — a complete cycle of works from demolition to final cleaning. Ridny Residential Complex is located at 2/2 Pokrovska Street in the village of Hatne, Kyivo-Sviatoshynskyi District; the developer is Ivan Andriiovych Samsonovych. The apartment was handed over by the developer in a bare-shell condition: exposed concrete walls, unfinished ceilings, and only rough connections for water supply and drainage with no finishing whatsoever. The renovation covered all areas — the bathroom, kitchen, living rooms and hallway; no replanning was carried out; instead, the focus was on making rational use of every square metre of the compact layout. Work began with routing the utility systems: a wall-mounted gas boiler was installed in the kitchen, and water supply, drainage and gas lines were distributed throughout. At the same time, a consumer unit was fitted and new socket and lighting circuits were run to every room. The walls in the rooms were finished with decorative plaster — a "silk" texture in the hallway, and a "bark beetle" / "stone" texture in a light-grey shade in the bedrooms and second room, eliminating the need for wallpaper and simplifying future maintenance. Large-format porcelain stoneware in a grey marble look was laid on the walls and floors of the bathrooms — a single tile format visually enlarges the compact space. The accent wall behind the bathtub was finished with warm brown wood-look tiles, zoning the space without building partition walls. In the bathroom, a rectangular acrylic bathtub was set into a niche with a side panel clad in the same porcelain stoneware. A wall-hung vanity unit in a concrete-look finish was installed beneath the washbasin, and a chrome U-shaped towel warmer was positioned above the Electrolux washing machine — making maximum use of the vertical space. In the kitchen, the floor was covered with large light-grey ceramic tiles with minimal grout joints, and the walls were painted with structural paint in two tones, divided at the line of the future splashback. Light-grey wood-look laminate with a dark-brown skirting board was laid in the living rooms; in one room the walls were painted in a warm beige-pink tone. Stretch ceilings — white matte or grey — were installed in all rooms, fitted with surface-mounted and recessed ring-shaped LED light fixtures. Interior doors in a uniform "pearlescent oak" finish with horizontal glass inserts were installed throughout the apartment; the front metal door is black for contrast. Wall niches were provided for appliances and utility connections. The apartment was handed over to the client fully move-in ready, with the boiler connected, bathrooms completed and lighting in every room. The KyivReno team, with experience since 2014, delivered this project turnkey with a dedicated site manager and a fixed price set out in the contract.
