HAYLOFT
Kyiv, Ukraine Architects: Oleg Volosovskyi and Elena Logvynets loftburo.com Hayloft is an exciting new loft with a rich interior that was coordinated alongside cavity design. The former derelict building holds black ceramic handmade hallways that link with disruptive carved paneled woodwork to soften the industrial interior.
The design of the kitchen encompasses a triple harmony of materials with stainless steel, natural wood and textured marble. It is enriched with an emerald green tiled furnace reminiscent of the 17th-18th century Kyiv housing tradition. The living room provides a space formed by absorbing ceiling height and carefully curated antiques. Hayloft’s colonial interior provides high quality simplicity framed with traditional values.
Black ceramic handmade hallway walls link today with vanished traditions of the Etruscans or ancient civilizations in Ukraine. Herbs, flowers and foliage, along with zephyrian feathers are imprinted on the wall tile. Disruptive “dancing” carved panelled woodwork visually softens the industrial interior and hide the secret bedroom entrance.
Hayloft tells us a story about tradition and memory, the ability to preserve history and create legends. About a family and its values. About creativity and art objects as a life philosophy. It is also a story of two reconstructions, an abandoned building and virtual memory of a few generations.

FARMHOUSE
Baix Empordà, Spain Designers: Joan Lao and Africa Lao joanlao.com A typical 17th century Catalan farmhouse was transformed into the painting studio of Adalina Coromines and a creative studio of Joan Lao and Africa Lao. The original textures of stone, lime mortar, clay, wood and iron were used as a backdrop as everything was intact.
The design concept started with taking advantage of the original structural elements, materials and textures. All fused with the aesthetics and concepts of the Joan Lao studio. The farm is surrounded by chestnut trees, walnut trees and oaks that are native to the area.
The project is totally autonomous and self-sufficient energetically, the electricity is produced through solar panels, the water is from the subsoil of an original well of the farm and the heating system with a wood boiler.The house has been built with sustainability in mind.
PAINTING BY ARTIST ADALINA COROMINES Artist Adalina Coromines paintings typically focus on environmental awareness. By using natural elements, such as soil, she repurposes the elements around her. She combines soil with natural pigments to create ordered, geometric and organic compositions. Boards are placed horizontally on metal tables, to them earth is added or removed, the material sometimes is scraped. Knives, palettes, dispensers and tools that she herself has manufactured replace the traditional material used. Being environmentally committed, pigments, earths and paints are ecological and pollutant-free.
