Mureli is a Ukrainian archaism, which fell into disuse, brought back for this project.  
Mureli means apricot and gives its name to this family home near Kyiv because construction was completed in the middle of summer. Stylistically, "the interior reminds us of a warm July morning when your eyes are still half-closed, but you are already barefoot looking for the way to the kitchen, where murelis are waiting in a vase since yesterday", describes Shkrub House, the studio responsible for the project.

The hall is the calling card of this house, with its imposing walls, the panel of tetrapods and the five huge Khmara lamps that welcome us at the entrance.
Textured walls and stairs add softness to the space, making it authentic, natural and not too polished. The handrails, in curved wood, were a challenge for the artisans, made precisely according to the wishes of the project's designers.
Behind the sliding doors, the meeting area for guests begins with a wooden dining table, lit by another Khmara lamp, which seats 12. To the right is the living room, where the fireplace does not go unnoticed, and the piece of Makhno ceramics on top of it stands out.

Transparent sliding doors make the desired division between the living room and kitchen, fulfilling the desire of the owner, who likes to be creative in the kitchen, but doesn't want all these aromas to mix and wander around the house. Four monumental porcelain stoneware cubes were the solution found by the designers to recreate the texture of stone without using natural stone, which would be less functional. Ceiling lamps, by Makhno, also illuminate the kitchen.
In the bedroom, dressing room and bathroom, neutral tones, cream and light pink predominate.

Every detail is essential in this contemporary project, where designer pieces are a constant.
