Svoya Studio

Svoya Studio is a design and architecture practice from Dnipro, Ukraine, run collectively by co-founders Juliya Martynenko, Denis Sokolov, Lera Sokolova, Artem Martynenko and Tatiana Izzo with architect Anton Sokolov. They describe the studio as a way of life built on family values, friendship, creativity and a love of making, and work as one integrated team from first sketch to completion.

Its portfolio moves between volumes and the rooms inside them: houses for two families, apartments in Dnipro and Odesa, a cafe conceived as a cultural space, and schools including Hello School 2.0, Hello Baby and Pechersk School International in Kyiv. Space, light, materials and landscape are one system, while the principle of moving from the general to the particular keeps it close to object design.
