This sprawling loft interior located in the heart of Kiev, Ukraine, designed by Thank Balbek of design studio 2B Group, is rich in bold industrial character and bold style statements. The studio battled throughout the challenging design project to prove that "concrete could be warm, wood could be smooth and metal could be soft."

6 |At the height of trendy loft living, the three level penthouse with a total space of 380sqm, enjoys open plan lounging and kitchen areas, and even the master bathroom is wide open to the sleeping quarters-thankfully the toilet is tucked away though! The designers tell us, “In order to hide the master bedroom toilets, authors invented a mobile wooden box stylized as a large parcel. All in neutral colors except for red and green oxidized copper sheets serving as hidden shelf facades.”
