The International Design Awards has been awarding for 13 years with the mission “to recognize and celebrate reasonable and sustainable design, popularize legendary designers and discover new talents”. The award is traditionally held in Los Angeles.

Shkrub House is a house in the Kyiv suburbs that the founder of the studio, Serhii Makhno, built for his family. The house is created in a Ukrainian contemporary style. The roof is made of reed, the walls are covered in clay, like in old huts, in 9 ancient techniques of execution. The ceiling is made of wood, which was reused: we purchased and dismantled 11 old houses and sheds in Western Ukraine. Ceramic tiles and decor — the authorship of the studio.


“It is symbolic that we were informed of the victory on the studio’s birthday — on January 24, it turned 17 years old. But this news is not about our victory. It is about the fact that the world’s interest in Ukrainian contemporary design, in our culture is growing. After all, the house of Shkrub is a celebration of Ukrainian traditions. We do not always understand, but we feel “our own” — it gives strength. The land we walk on is a story that we remember and the power of our family, which is carried down from generation to generation. Wherever you are, the road always returns you home. We make comfort homey, and our homes — of great interest in the world”, — says Serhii Makhno.


Previously, Shkrub House received the Grand Prix of the Ukrainian contest “Interior Goda”.

3 000 square meters of Academy DTEK were designed and implemented in 6 months. It was important to integrate the company’s values and create the best conditions for studying. On the ground floor, there is a library and a cafeteria with an exhibition of fresh flowers and designer lamps under the ceiling. On the first floor — are lecture halls and a cinema. All rooms have powerful sound insulation, are made of wear-resistant materials and are equipped with modern technologies. Thematic areas are separated by colours and materials.
