Renewal of the Hotel Astoria Lviv

Total area 1200 sq m

The grand hotel "Astoria" was constructed in Lviv in 1914 by architect Tadeush Gartel from the architectural bureau of Adolf Piller in style "secession". In the Soviet years the name of hotel changed (it was hotel "Kiev"), but the essence remained former. Work on reconstruction of the building was together with the Lvov architectural bureau "Zelemin" led by Natalya Zinchuk. The task to get rid of the Soviet past of hotel (tiny numbers, worn-out communications, stylistics of the 1980th) and to restore historical gloss of "Astoria" was set. The situation was complicated by that any description, the sketch or the photo of original interiors of hotel didn't remain. But we were reached by partial drawings of plannings and fragments of an ancient decor. Though the building is also not an architecture monument, nevertheless, we should keep facades in accuracy and to restore interiors.

The studio apartment of 47 sq.m is designed for the person of a creative profession. We were faced by a task to create comfortable most functional housing for one. Among the main wishes there were a separate bedroom, a zone of an office and library and small convenient kitchen.

The interior of modern studio looks bright and filled with details. Walls of rooms are painted by monophonic paints with an opaque surface: for drawing room the difficult gray shade, bedrooms – lighter beige is chosen. At furniture is different in a form, color and the stylist. It is create creative mood.
Sofa in a bright emerald upholstery, the black varnished kitchen, a leather chair in colonial style together with a empire chandelier and stucco ceiling decor, author's products from a tree and metal bring a note of bohemian chic. Picturesque and graphic cloths of modern artists add bright paints.
