How do we remember? This question laid the foundation for our work on the Memorial project. We believe that collective memory is not etched in monuments but nurtured by people. Consequently, memorial architecture should transcend physical forms, striving to create spaces where memories are cherished, sustained, and transmitted across generations. Our vision of the memorial takes shape as a garden that embodies the care and rejuvenation of the Ukrainian land defended by fallen soldiers. This ever-evolving space is cultivated year-to-year through a collaborative tree-planting initiative with the city’s community, families of the fallen warriors, veterans, and volunteers. This garden is a symbol of our long-term commitment to remembrance.
In the memorial garden, Ukrainian landscapes destroyed by Russia are recreated. We bring the nature of the front-line zone to Lviv, protecting it by planting flora and trees from the Red Book. From steppe to forest, the land of the fallen soldiers’ last battle stretches in the memorial next to their burials. The distant steppe suddenly feels close, uniting those who lost a loved one on the battlefield with those who, having lost their home in the east, come to honour the memory of the defenders.

We believe it is important to cherish the established practices of interaction between families and comrades with fallen heroes: the opportunity to sit nearby, observe the brigade flags, and take care of the flowers growing near the crosses. These qualities are interpreted in a new form while preserving the essence.

The park is located in the central part of Kharkiv, a 1.5-million-strong city in Ukraine. As a product of an industrial era, Kharkiv largely consists of factory buildings and residential areas. Two small rivers running through the city became much shallower and almost disappeared over the last decade.
However, there is a powerful freshwater spring in the ravine called Sarzhyn Yar. This water is safe to drink and has a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius all year round.
During the soviet times, a futuristic-looking concrete cover was built above the pump room of the spring. The park was mainly used as a place to get drinking water and as a place to take a plunge in the cold water bath filled with spring water. Our initial task was to renovate the part of the park around the water taps and the stone bath, but after examining the whole area of the ravine we offered the city authorities to turn the whole site into a water landscape park. The new plan involved not simply renovating a small section of the park, but also using the water from the spring to create a system of picturesque lakes. Apart from the lake system, we designed two bike overpasses (for the 3.5 km long bike loop not to intersect with pedestrian walkways), children’s playgrounds, a sports ground for people of all ages, and a wooden terrace for doing yoga. We preserved 4 hectares of natural wooded area, only adding gravel paths and admire-the-nature garden chairs to the terrain. One of our top priorities was to leave a large part of the area intact, in its natural state.

I provided design packs for all Stages 2, 3, 4, and 5, starting from concept design and ending with the coordination of the complete design.
I worked on all stages of this playground project, from design development and illustrative views to hardwork, and concluded with coordinating contractors during site construction.
The site is located within the Regent’s Canal Conservation Area, just a short walk from the iconic Camden Market and Camden Goods Yard development. The landscape proposals aim to maximize green coverage and create a high-quality urban realm that enhances the heritage and landscape assets in this part of Camden.
The South side of Chalk Farm Road already has a good provision of street trees, and the landscape proposal will further enrich this character by adding additional trees along the street frontage.
At ground level, the proposed public realm introduces a new rest and meeting place adjacent to The Roundhouse. On the first floor, there is an external landscaped area on a podium to the south of the site. This space is designed to offer play areas for younger residents and amenity spaces for all age groups, shared between families and students.
The proposal also includes landscaped and green rooftops to support biodiversity and help mitigate the urban heat island effect.

For the Stage 2 issue, I developed layouts for all levels, visual plans, and site sections. This included creating conceptual collages, street view sketches, Illustrative plans, sections and texture details.
Ground Level
The ground-level landscape creates a new public space for pedestrians and event-goers at The Roundhouse, while also providing potential future connectivity with the adjacent youth space.
A private courtyard for students allows natural light into the reception area of the student accommodation and the ground-level amenity spaces.
Podium Level
The first-floor external space is a communal amenity accessible to both residential tenants and students. Students can enter via the southern rotunda building, while residents access it from the western core or their private groundfloor gardens. The area features lush planting, including small trees, evergreen and deciduous shrubs, and seasonal herbaceous plants and bulbs, offering greenery, a pleasant view, and privacy for podium-level dwellings.
