Drawing upon Milan’s contemporary design landmarks—Rossana Orlandi Gallery, Corso Como 10, and Fondazione Prada—Parcel from Milan reinterprets the city’s avant-garde spirit within a 120 m² Kyiv apartment. Commissioned by a young family with one child, the project by Yuriy Zimenko embraces asceticism, visual lightness, and an artful minimalism that feels both refined and experimental.
The interiors of the Golden Oak apartment are made in a slightly more restrained manner, rather than the boutiques of the world brand, but at the same time they are not inferior in elegance. The overall concept of the project is based on heat-cold contrasts: colors, textures, surface finishes and textiles.
Often interiors are created based on a certain palette. Yuri Zimenko in this case went the opposite way. Each room has its own specific color, and the atmosphere in it is built on a subtle game of shades and nuances. For example, the bedroom is delighted with a noble purple.
