Competitions
WWF observation cabins
A junior interior designer responsible for drawings, rendering, finding differ ent types of furniture and lighting, and visiting construction sites together with a team.
Among my responsibilities were finding a style for each project, creating moodboards, cg work, drawing, specifications, selections of materials, communicating with contractors, explaining main ideas to customers, and curating projects on construction sites. Also, I prepared graphic materials for the PR department.
As a freelancer, I designed residential and commercial interiors. My job included leading projects in all phases: from conceptual part to drawings, material selection, visiting showrooms, and communication with clients and contractors. Also, I worked as a CG artist with other interior designers.
The competition aimed to create a place where to raise awareness, where visitors can reconcile with nature.

Daria Drahilieva 2020master’s diploma Kyiv, Ukraine
The museum of modern art is neces sary for Kyiv because this city is simbious of culture, art, history, and creativity. After my research, I realized that in my town there are no modern museums, so I decided to create them.
My main idea was to create a white form with an interesting shape to lure people inside the building.
In my collage, I show how participants can feel themself in the museum. In my opinion, it’s necessary to sense nature, feelings, atmosphere, and your voices.
The museum is placed in the center of Kyiv city. There was an empty area with parking and an old building which hadn’t been serviced for a long time. Museums take a big part in my life, in every city where I have been I try to go to different kinds of exhibitions that help me to know more about partici pants, how they are thinking, where they are going and what they want to see in the first place. In museums, the main role-playing logic of moving is after realizing architects can create plans.

team year status location Daria Drahilieva 2022 Competition Toscana, ItalyThe main idea of the observatory project is to create an image of bird nests with similar forms and textures to connect visitors with nature with out disturbing the integrity of it. Instead of using open observation decks there propose to construct capsules in the form of a nest, which will solve number of issues, like: timid birds that are scared of people and moving objects; picturesque arm’s length view for visitors; and smooth integration of construction into the nature by highlighting its beauty.
13 scheme of the site plan
The form of observation decks come from behavioral traits of birds, the way they form their nests. By maximizing integration of forms into nature, birds will perceive these objects as a place to study and to stay near instead of choosing a secluded place for active wildlife.
To replicate birds’ “approach to construction”, we propose to use natural materials and techniques interpret our concept. Similar to birds using mud, clay and saliva as build ing materials, we are going to use wood, clay, and beeswax for protec tion against external influences. No concrete will be used to make the construction light and environmental ly friendly. “Pimply windows” will be used in the construction to make it convenient for birds to sit on and for visitors to observe closer the way birds behave and interact.
To take a closer look on their natural environment we will create a capsule that is dipped into the water. To make it water-resistant it will be covered with nano material made of algae that is printed on 3D printer.
Along the observatory decks in the water, on and above the ground, the main administrative building with dating people the purpose of the facility, is to extend observation area. While having similar form and structure

Eco-retreat, YASNA, in the Carpathian Mountains, designed to harnesses vibrations of the Ukrainian mystic place of power. Yoga platform is designed in tune with philosophy of live architecture and design centered in Ukrainian cultural heritage, revival of ancestral techniques and work ing with the power of nature — employing natural elements in a sustainable way.
To integrate the architecture fully into the surrounding wild forest environment, organic fluid bodies of the buildings are conceived of a wooden framework. Platform offer a view of the mountains and the forest.
yasna house
Architecture lays the path to organ ic spaces where functionality meets authentic, living materials. Explor ing ancestral relationships with the natural world, ancient techniques merge with contemporary design to create sustainable environments that reconnect to the inner-self.
Yasna house is a mountain house in the Carpathians, Ukraine. The concept was to make a harmo nious house that reflects philosophy of ‘live architecture and design’ and blends into its natural environment.
Located in a lowland, deep in the Carpathians, Vhory house was designed to embrace each ray of natural light that penetrates the surrounding mountains and spruce trees.
The fully glass facade, interrupt ed only by levels of natural wood, highlighting each floor of the build ing, reflects the surrounding moun tain forest. Panoramic glassing and terraces integrate the environment into the interior and vice versa.

Yasna house was made by nature. The most immportant reason for us was to create a house that can breathe so we used only ecological or recycling materials like concrete and membrane. We collected main ideas of energy efficient house like orientation, compactness, materials, pumps, smart house, supply and exhaust ventilation with recuparation. Our constructions are glued laminated timber, insulation-pressed wooden chips, the walls were made by hemp-lime solution, clay plaster, thriple glazing and improving airtightness. Every material is connected with each other, as a result we recived energyefficient house where clients can feel mountains.

Daria Drahilieva 2021This project for the family called Dodomu. It is not solely a haven but a place for lively meetings.
Live minimalism is in the details. The selected palette of walls and floors is restrained, the main role is played by the collection of furniture and lighting, in turn, vivid in colour. The contrast of shapes, colours and materials make the family residence look like a modern design gallery. Catch a slight hint of this project. Clay plastered walls, accent light, and massive pendant lamp — hanging down to the first story. A natural wooden floor is paired with the same light handrail, providing a sense of a genial atmosphere.

Designed in the ‘live minimalism’ style, HMARA interior was created to immerse in a calm, natural environment. The two design themes running through the project are — the sense of lightness and connection to nature.
In Ukrainian HMARA means cloud. With its serene cloud-like atmos phere, the space puts the mind at ease and allows one to relax.
Reflecting the idea of living in unity with nature, the interior speaks to its owner with earthy hues and raw textures which engage the senses. Stone, wood, natural fabrics and clay, a material that has a long-living tradition in Ukraine, used as a finish for the walls bring warmth of the home. Wide floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room open up to the natural surroundings and let the natural light flood in.

Hlyb is done in modern Ukrainian design. It is a pure, concise, sensu al. At the same time, you can feel the character behind it, Ukrain ian DNA, a living spirit. It’s design that shows an essence.
Connection with the earth and ecological approach is the basis of project. In the Hlyb project, the simple geometric shapes of the clay walls are hormonized with the metalic bar and tables. Roughness and uneven textures are balanced by the purity and smoothness of steel.
Combine modern materials and techniques with the long-known, passed down from ukrainian’s generation to generation. Clay walls, according to Ukrainian tradition, have very powerful energy.

The idea was to create a harmo ny of an uplifted, minimalistic yet grounding, tactile space. The natural world is invited within through floorto-ceiling panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. The round ed, soft geometry of live architecture is accentuated in a uniting dining area. A handsculpted pendant lamp looms above dining table, both creat ed of a unique compostable blend.
