CONTENTS
This portfolio contains selected works created during my 6 years of studying architecture, which culminated in earning a master’s degree. Five completely different projects were chosen to showcase the wide range of my skills, which I consider essential for a modern architect: working with hand-drawn and computer graphics, individual and team work, as well as model making and media content creation. At the end, you will also find links to my two previous portfolios (from my undergraduate and master’s studies) with many other works not included here.

REIMAGINING INDUSTRIAL SPACES
Master’s Diploma Graduation Project
Location: Dnipro, Ukraine
Bergen School of Architecture, 2024
Curators: Andre Fontes, Jan Liesegang
«Cultural and Economic Renewal thorugh NonExtractiveness». The project addresses global ecological, resource, and political crises by promoting economic growth, environmental renewal, and cultural preservation. It explores how architecture can prevent societal degradation and subsidized territories. The project refurbishes industrial parks by reusing former production sites, preserving production potential and integrating them into city systems.
This is an urbanistic project focused on working with spaces and functions within the industrial park. For me, buildings are secondary in this project; they are tools in shaping these spaces and their extensions. «Openness» and «closeness» create a comfortable environment for leisure and work, as two opposites gives rise to alternative space. Various diagrams allow for describing the project on different scales, from the city to the specific plot. An axonometric drawing of the area, sections of the site, plan and a view from a human perspective should help envision life within the project and understand how production, sociocultural, and transit functions can coexist.

OPERATIONAL MODEL SCALE
While studying industrial parks, I identified five different models. These models and and there differences helped me form my own view on how industrial parks can develop countries in crisis while keeping their cultural identity.
I observed that despite their positive environmental qualities, modern industrial parks lack a cultural component. While they produce goods and intellectual property, they often overlook the production or preservation of cultural identity and diversity due to globalization.
Therefore, repurposing them on the territory of abandoned factories could lead to the preservation of industrial heritage in various countries, as any industrial space is a cultural legacy, within its own aesthetic, remaining an isolated industry throughout the history of industrial development.

URBAN SCALE
Dnipro is one of the industrial centers in Ukraine, mainly in the metallurgical industry. However, many enterprises are in a state of decline.
Site is located in the central part of the city, close to key transportation hubs. The site is unique as it is situated between the historic center and major industrial area.
Proposed industrial park becomes more pedastrianfriendly and a cultural attraction is added. In my case this is an already existing «house-museum of the writer Helena Blavatsky» that expands with new spaces.

SITE SCALE
The site consists of two former enterprises: a construction machinery plant and a tobacco factory, which produced items ranging from household goods to decorative metal elements. However, I do not specify what will be produced after the site’s transformation, leaving the question open and creating a flexible industrial space.
In my proposal, the balance between production and public functions is achieved by creating alternative spaces (inspired by Michel Foucault’s concept of heterotopias), specifically communal areas used jointly by both workers and visitors; Public buildings face one direction, while production facilities face another, creating a main artery that runs through the site from beginning to end, connecting it.

Curator: Aleksandr Denisenko
The industrial park is designed to address the lack of production (in this case, weaving) in NovogradVolynsky, Zhytomyr region, as well as the social issues and refugee challenges caused by hostilities in Ukraine.
The client is the owner of the local clothing factory, «Lesya». The park is divided into different zones for internal processes and adheres to the concept of wide spaces (for growth) and openness to nature.

PROPOSED ADMINISTRATIVE AND OFFICE BUILDING IN INDUSTRIAL PARK
Conceptual proposal as an addition to the industrial park project. For the design, an administrative and office site was selected, located within an industrial zone of industrial park.
The building is designed to be as utilitarian as possible, prioritizing the cleanliness of the facades and featuring large panoramic windows in the office spaces. The appearance should also emphasize the conceptual nature of the industrial park project itself.
Functionally, the building is focused on office spaces. I aimed to separate workers from visitors.

Commun(al)ity Housing Study and Proposal
Location: Bergen, Norway
Bergen School of Architecture, 2023
Curators: Jan Liesegang, Hector Pina
Team: Serhii Romanov, Adam Jaghouar
The main goal of the course was to analyze, understand, and explore various ways of communal living through different stages and references.
Our project is located on Møllendalsveien, near the student dormitory Grønneviksøren. The implementation of our building is guided by the urban plan of the municipality of Bergen, which aims to introduce new leisure and recreational areas, as well as residential buildings.
This area is crucial for the city as it is still in the developmental stage and is conveniently situated close to the city center, thanks to the new tram line. Nearby, there is the University of Design, and in the district, you can find several old and valuable industrial buildings, as Møllendal was previously an industrial outskirts with numerous factories. One of such warehouses is located on our site; it was built by the Germans in the 1940s during the occupation of Norway. Undoubtedly, it plays a crucial role in shaping the future development of the area.

URBAN STRATEGY
The urban strategy creates public spaces in a new communal housing neighborhood. Our intervention transforms an old barn into a kindergarten, coffee shop, garden, and communal workshop. Pedestrian paths are lined with public amenities like garbage disposal, bike garages, seating areas, a skatepark, riverfront access, and a plaza, connecting the cemetery neighborhood to the one across the river.
Our project playing the role of a buffer that guides people towards intimate spaces. The ground floor functions as a web, exploring how modern housing can develop shared spaces to enhance social life. These spaces include a public street, a courtyard garden, and a passageway serving as an entrance. A private garden for Housing A and a communal garden for Housing B.

Private spaces in red, shared spaces in blue; Three distinct space qualities: with a private garden, double height, and under-roof space.
HOUSING A
Entrance to the housing is situated from the main street and backyard. On the first floor of the corner volume, everyone can use the common room. Access to the other floors is provided via staircase or lift. To enter the living units, inhabitants need to use a system of balconies. These balconies are expanded on the side to store private belongings if needed.
People enter a double-height living room with two entrances that lead to two different living units. All the living rooms are connected by a passageway to create one huge space for common events, but with the possibility to create intimate spaces by closing doors between sections.
In a basic unit, two families share the double-height living room. A unit consists of two rooms, one bathroom, and a kitchen. The arrangement of space allows people to use one unit or to combine multiple units of housing. Therefore, a family can extend their square meters to use the area as they need.
Moreover, the grid of the building, made by a 6m x 6m wood structure, opens possibilities for inhabitants to create new combinations of internal spaces depending on their goals. For the building process this type of structure integrates modularity into it and rapid construction of the building.

HOUSING B
Housing B, utilizing the same wooden structure systems as Housing A, consists of six residential units and a shared housing unit for 20 people located in the corner of the building. On the ground floor, a double-height external passage creates a spatial connection between all living units. Housing units can be combined for larger families or shared living.
On the ground floor, there is a kitchen, living room, bathroom, and access to a common garden where rainwater is collected for use as service water inside the house. On the second floor, there is a shower room and three bedrooms with the possibility of converting them into rooms for other purposes.
The common area in the corner of the building is part of the dormitory, the private bedrooms of which are located on the top floor. There is also a shared bathroom there. To access the bedrooms, residents step onto the roof and then into a covered interior space.

Team: Serhii Romanov, Anna Rautio, Akvile Stundyte
The transformation of the castle’s farming site and its adaptation to the needs of locals and visitors are based on the Salesians’ core values of openness and occupation.
Openness signifies accessibility for community use, functioning as a socially engaging structure that includes artist residences, an exhibition platform, educational opportunities, a heritage site, a playground, and a chapel. Occupation is reflected in the project site through craftsmanship, gardening, farming, and employment activities.
The disclosure of these fundamental values conveys a powerful message of enlightenment for socially sensitive youth, elderly individuals, and visitors from abroad.
