22nd December 2021 | IN PROJECT OF THE WEEK | BY SBID ShareTweetPinterestLinkedIn This week’s instalment of Project of the Week series features a luxurious family apartment design by 2021 SBID Awards Finalist, V.Concept by Victoria Vitkovskaya. All the details of the Almond apartment from the V.Concept studio in Kiev stem from the originality and ambition of the designers. Throughout the design we used the best combination of colours and textures. Recognizable “modern chic” style can be seen everywhere: in the combination of marble and eucalyptus facades of the Italian kitchen Cesar, cabinet furniture Poliform and Misura Emme, contrasts of leather and glass in tinted wardrobes from Sangiacomo, backlit rare stone panels and unique lamps in Serip Murano glass. Luxurious fabrics from the Loro Piana and Hermes complement the composition of the interior and add a special comfort to each space. Lighting, heating and audio – all can be controlled with one wireless smart home system from Gira. All solutions are convenient and economical, and a subtle concept of beauty is evident in all the spaces of this apartment. SBID Awards Category: Residential Apartment Over £1M Design Practice: V.Concept by Victoria Vitkovskaya Project: Almond Apartment Location: Kyyiv, Ukraine What was the client’s brief? Our clients were a married couple with two teenage children. They understood exactly what they wanted and made decisions quickly. Our customers realised what comfort was and knew the value of things. What inspired the design of the project? Our main inspiration was our client. We started by getting familiar with their desires and vision of their ideal apartment and then worked to make this vision a reality. With this project we wanted to show that modern style can be ambitious and satisfy sophisticated connoisseurs of beauty, and at the same time be simple and efficient. What was the toughest hurdle your team overcame during the project? I think the toughest thing was to implement the project during the quarantine. To be honest, a turnkey project from A to Z during a pandemic is not easy. We completed it in 9 months — I believe that this is a success! What was your team’s highlight of the project? For the Almond apartment project we used a combination of colours, textures and materials, integrating furniture and appliances from luxury manufacturers. The project is filled with stylish, technological and ergonomic solutions. We also implemented the project exactly according to our initial plan. The only thing that differed from it were the dining chairs. Why did you enter this project into the SBID Awards? Getting to the finals and potential victory in a competition of this magnitude is an indicator of quality and skill level. This is not the first year that we have been participating in the SBID Awards; for us it is a kind of tradition and a chance to make ourselves known.
