Design by: MONO architects

Location: Kyiv, Ukraine
Area: 645m2
Completed in 2019
The brainchild of MONO architects and KAN Development blurs the lines between street landscape and interior design. Tetris Hall, with its living trees, is a fusion of outdoors and indoors.
This was the main objective of the project: feel as though you’re outdoors while still inside.
The architects were given the space at Tetris Hall and asked to work their magic. Measuring some 645 square meters with two-level ceilings, they started essentially from scratch. The team was faced with the task of creating a modern interior that would resemble a 5-star European hotel.
Work on the concept was divided into two stages. The first was the development of functional zoning, which allowed the creation of several areas for work and leisure, communication with neighbours or business meetings.
Zones had to be designed for one person in mind and for groups of up to six people.
The lounge space was isolated and visually separated from the transit area due to living trees, upholstered furniture, carpets and floor lamps.
During the second stage, lighting was tackled. “Expolight” are experts in adaptive lighting and they created a system that would automatically adjust for the time of day. The intensity, color and mood of the light corresponds with the location of the sun delivering a comfortable atmosphere at any time of day.
