HOMIN resonates with the Ukrainian word “гомін,” evoking the vibrant hum of family life, and the English phrase “Home In,” symbolizing a return to belonging. In this Kyiv apartment designed by Bezmirno architecture team, home is defined by feeling, not walls. The interior design is a manifesto of contemporary minimalism, where calm rhythm, clarity, and architectural silence shape daily experience. Every detail is intentional, with form following function and human interaction at the core.
The Bezmirno team has transformed a technically challenging, former commercial unit into a flexible, inviting home. HOMIN does not impose a lifestyle; it adapts to the rhythms of its inhabitants, remaining timeless and deeply personal.
From Office Maze to Family Haven
The project began as an office conversion, marked by a labyrinth of cubicles, technical zones, and narrow corridors. The challenge: transform 197 square meters of fragmented space into a cohesive, comfortable home for a family of five and two pets. Privacy, flexibility, and warmth were essential, despite the constraints of low ceilings and existing engineering networks beneath a neighbor’s terrace.
The design solution merges communal and private life. Rational zoning separates guest and family areas, allowing for both gathering and retreat. Communal spaces are open and fluid, while private quarters offer seclusion. The transition is seamless, supporting the ebb and flow of family life.
Light as Architecture
Lighting is layered and purposeful. General illumination orients and defines the main pathways. Accent lights highlight functional zones, while hidden LEDs in shadow gaps sculpt atmosphere and volume. Light becomes a tool for zoning, visually detaching furniture from walls and adding airiness to each room.

A restrained palette grounds the interior. Deep green defines the kitchen, neutral textures bring softness to the living area, and playful yellow animates the children’s rooms. Floating furniture and mirror illusions dissolve boundaries, creating a sense of weightlessness and expanding the perception of space. Matte-finished, deep brown veneered panels conceal storage and daily routines, maintaining visual calm.
Details and Human Touch
In the children’s zones, subtlety gives way to vibrancy. A light gray pegboard invites creativity and serves as a display for collections. Throughout, every element is designed for comfort and adaptability, supporting the family’s evolving needs.
