Balykina Showroom

Project area: 44,7 sq. m.
Completed: April 2024
Location: Kyiv, Ukraine
Lead Architect: Anastasia Zagrai
Photo credits: Yevhenii Avramenko
Client: Balykina Brand

In the heart of Kyiv’s historic center, within a wing of an early 20th-century residential building, lies the showroom of Ukrainian evening wear brand Balykina. Conceived as a refined escape from the everyday, the space offers each client a moment to feel like a star while preparing for life’s most memorable occasions. The showroom design reflects our interpretation of timeless Old Hollywood elegance, reimagined through the lens of contemporary femininity and understated sophistication.

The layout is inspired by the atmosphere of a private salon. In the entrance area, guests are
greeted by a console table, terracotta poufs, and brand lookbooks — evoking the ambiance of an elegant apartment lobby. This leads into a “living room” space, complete with a comfortable seating area, custom rails for showcasing the collection, and fitting rooms tucked behind heavy, theatrical drapes. The experience culminates at the checkout and packaging zone — designed as a central wardrobe island with a glass countertop that doubles as a display case for the brand’s accessories.
