Sergey Makhno Architects
Studio of Ukrainian architecture, design, and ceramics.
Based in Kyiv, Ukraine. Working worldwide.
Since 2003, we have been creating projects intertwining Ukrainian traditions, world trends and the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, the forces of nature, human talent and architectural mind.
We are fascinated by the power of the home and the powers within it — in our culture, the home is of significant value. We have completed over 600 projects in 21 countries and are ready to create something significant for you. Home for knowledge, culture, and innovations, for families and single people — offices, coworking spaces, museums and galleries, apartments and country houses.
We work with architecture, landscape design, interior design, and product design. The main task of our specialists — architects, designers, engineers, artists — is to create comfort that will become near and dear.
Serhii Makhno was one of the first to turn his work towards Ukrainian culture, at that time neglected and not interesting to anyone. It was a journey of 20 years starting with exploring, denying, and finally understanding and homecoming. Today, Ukrainian design is gaining popularity around the world.
You will always recognize our work by the stunning ceramic lamps we make by hand, by one person for another, in limited quantities. We respect a material world and a nonmaterial one. Both of which no longer require many things.
