Descend Into This Earthy Spa In The Heart Of The Mediterranean 

Sunshine and subterranean settings may seem incongruent. But unifying contrasts is rote for Makhno Studio. The Ukrainian studio’s latest endeavor, Vroda Clinic & Spa, in Limassol, Cyprus, continues the firm’s boundary-pushing MO. “The challenge was to create a space that doesn’t resemble a medical facility,” explains founder and architect Serhii Makhno, who conceived a soft yet brutalist scheme for the 14,700-square-foot project, with clinical cosmetology rooms on the first floor and the spa zone below. The latter offers a dozen water-based experiences—freestanding bathing capsules, voice-activated rain showers, plunge pools, snow chimneys (for cold treatments post sauna or steam room)—housed in annular coves. In the VIP area, Makhno’s cloudlike ceramic pendant fixtures, 3-D printed walls in an earthy clay, and plumes of pampas grass, arranged in the Japanese ikebana style, soothe and calm. Throughout, recessed LEDs and radiant salt blocks gently brighten, while staggered plaster columns and communal marble seating recall ancient Roman bathhouses.

This Ukrainian Café is Designed as an Inviting Cup of Coffee

Kofan is a chain of all-day cafés in central Ukraine’s Kremenchuk offering wartime respite along with everything from pancakes and bubble tea to cocktails and tuna tataki. The latest outpost, and the third by Makhno Studio, focuses on third-wave coffee, which inspired the design team to devise a monochromatic palette throughout its 460 square feet that’s akin to being nestled inside a cappuccino cup. “It’s a tranquil haven,” founder and architect Serhii Makhno says. Walls and ceiling are coated in pigmented plaster, crimped to evoke swirling layers of espresso foam, and flooring is latte-toned oak planks. Wood changes to a paler café au lait ash for the custom tables and chairs, but pendant fixtures by Makhno, who’s also a ceramicist, are more of a dark-roast black. There are contributions from other fellow Ukrainians, too: The feature wall by Kelsis references vyshyvanka, an embroidery pattern thought to ward off evil, through plastered MDF, while, outside, a pair of soldierlike sculptures in weathered steel by Yevhen Prymachenko act, Makhno adds, like “symbolic watchtowers.”
