Storage X Domaine 17 Showroom / Temp Project
Resellers of men's and women's streetwear have transformed three halls on the ground floor of an early 20th-century building in central Kyiv into a hub for bold urban culture. This collaborative space unites two clothing showrooms owned by a young entrepreneurial couple, each leading their own brand. The men's store, Storage, and the women's store, Domaine 17, both embrace a raw, rebellious vibe with a focus on sports and street fashion. The collections, carefully selected from international brands, reflect the spirit of contemporary urban culture. "The clients envisioned an atmosphere reminiscent of an abandoned industrial zone, with scratched concrete surfaces, exposed rebar, and plants reclaiming space from the city. The interior embodies the raw essence of an urban landscape that thrives with minimal human interference," explains architect Anastasiia Tempynska. Key elements of the building's original architecture were preserved, including arched doorways, wooden ceiling beams, and brick walls. "We deliberately chose not to clean the original brickwork – it would have looked too polished. We aimed for a raw, honest aesthetic, so we left the bricks untouched," Anastasiia adds.
