As minimalism grows its influence and presence throughout the world, its strong identity points start to unravel towards new trends and daring variations.

Breaking the mould of the fully white-clad minimalist project is Apartment L, located in the city of Kiev, Ukraine. Designed by DA GROUP, the 43sqm flat is a love letter to dark tones; showcasing a surprising array of textures and inventiveness.

The initial premise of the dwelling is to serve as a place for resting—a cozy lair. Hence the perfect context to play with the idea of public and privacy.

Alternating between what can be considered social areas to become, in a fell swoop, a secluded space.
