“I don’t know for sure if I would have become a Ukrainian in the sense I feel now if it weren’t for Japan. It helped me realize the depth and value of Ukrainian heritage. In my world — mind, life and creativity — these two cultures have created a magical, inseparable symbiosis. They have one heartbeat for two. Just like our twins,” shares Serhii Makhno.

Let’s be honest — clients who are ready for such decisions and can afford them do not come to the door of our studio every day. Actually, much like any other studio.
These clients expressed their wishes very clearly: to get a modern and minimalist house that will be a new stage of life for their family after the reserved classics. And they left us to do our job without interfering in the creative process at all.
That’s how twins were born.

The living room welcomes you with 4.5-meter-high panoramic windows that offer a view of 8 kilometers. The immaculate white color serves as a canvas for the author's design touches. Ahead is a blue kitchen with a worktop where you can cook and eat without taking your eyes off the surrounding scenery.
Each bedroom has a separate bathroom and dressing room.
The imitation of rocks oozes from the walls of the house, which shades the room with its caramel sand overflows.
The perfect combination of concrete walls, milky shades, contemporary Ukrainian art and panoramic windows. The main accent in the room is the author's sculpture "Day and Night" by Serhii Makhno as a symbol of the eternal choice between black and white, darkness and light. An additional line of windows with a perspective view makes this room special - everyone sees their own landscape.
In this room, black and copper shades are dominated to maintain the colour balance of the house.
An American bar is a hiding place on the basement floor, where urgent matters, endless meetings and notifications of messengers will not find the owners. Here you can spin in a dance to Jimi Hendrix's blues solo, prepare the author's cocktails, forget about life “from the outside” and enjoy.

The living room welcomes you with 4.5-meter-high panoramic windows that offer a view of 8 kilometers. The immaculate white color serves as a canvas for the author’s design touches. Ahead is a blue kitchen with a worktop where you can cook and eat without taking your eyes off the surrounding scenery. Concrete and white spiral staircases lead to the bedrooms from the 1st floor. Greenery from the outside flows into the house. The boundaries between the outside and the inside are blurred. The living room becomes part of the landscape. We really wanted to make a clean space, without radiators and convectors. The temperature is maintained thanks to a smart ventilation system and underfloor heating. There is a one-and-a-half-ton lamp on the ceiling.
Each bedroom has its own bathroom and dressing room. All of them are united by a single concrete line, but each has its own color: from caramel-sand to dark copper.
The imitation of rocks oozes from the walls of the house, which shades the room with its caramel sand overflows. On the guard, there is a ceramic DIDO by Serhii Makhno, making sure that the owners do not forget to turn off their phones and protect their sleep. Every part of the house has an attribute of the name FUTAGO. In this bedroom, the twin vases remind us that the power of the two is infinite.
The perfect combination of concrete walls, milky shades, contemporary Ukrainian art and panoramic windows. The main accent in the room is the author’s sculpture “Day and Night” by Sergei Makhno as a symbol of the eternal choice between black and white, darkness and light. An additional line of windows with a perspective view makes this room special – everyone sees their own landscape.
The house is planned in such a way that every bedroom has a magnificent view.
Relax, and let go of all your worries. Remember how important it is to let go of all your thoughts so that they dissolve into space, turn into dust and free you. Our ceramic sculpture DUMA is a thought to keep and never let go of.
A minimalist and functional bathroom by Agape is more than just a bathroom fixture.
Combined bedroom and bathroom areas are the best thing you can create if you have enough space for such a solution
In this room, black and copper shades are dominated to maintain the colour balance of the house. Automatic black-out blinds allow you to turn on the night in the middle of a hot day if you want to forget about the sun for an hour. Hidden lamps on the ceiling resemble Maasdam. However, the appearance can be deceptive — what if it is the surface of the moon?
An American bar is a hiding place on the basement floor, where urgent matters, endless meetings and notifications of messengers will not find the owners. Here you can spin in a dance to Jimi Hendrix’s blues solo, prepare the author’s cocktails, forget about life “from the outside” and enjoy. One button on the tablet in the Smart House system is responsible for a real LED show on the ceiling, and RIPPLE, the author’s bar tile by Serhii Makhno is responsible for the textured jazz.
We do not want this story to end. We want it to be the beginning of the history of twin houses and a new page in the development of modern Ukrainian architecture.
