A vertical garden at home can be man's creative answer to the need for nature and greenery. A family from Kharkiv, Ukraine wanted to have this expression of urban life culture installed in their studio apartment. And the reason for this is not a lack of space on the ground floor, but rather the residents' demand for vertically connected living levels. The vertical greenery in this apartment visually connects its two levels and represents the principles of the owners' sustainable living philosophy. The other special feature of this wonderful apartment is the slide that leads from the upper floor into the living room.

The harmonious ambience of this dream apartment was achieved by combining a few elements and guiding patterns when furnishing it.Vertical plantingwas created in the kitchen open to the stairs and in a bathroom. White brick walls visually unite the living area with the rooms on the upper floor. The honeycomb pattern has been discreetly but stylishly introduced into the bathrooms on the wall tiles and mirrors.
