Homin | Bezmirno

The name HOMIN is a play on meanings. It echoes the Ukrainian word “гомін” (homin) — the lively hum of a large family filling the space with life — and the English phrase “Home In,” symbolizing a return to where you belong.

A home begins not with walls, but with a feeling. This project is about a calm rhythm, clean space, and architectural silence. There are no accidental effects here: form follows function and human interaction. It is a manifesto of new minimalism, where aesthetics do not compromise daily comfort.

Brief
Office to home conversion and the transformation of complex geometry into a full-fledged family residence. The initial conditions included a maze of small cubicles, technical zones, narrow corridors, and a complete lack of residential logic. Our task was to rethink every square meter to accommodate a large family of five and two pets, ensuring privacy for everyone.

Challenges
Beyond layout constraints, we faced significant height issues: part of the apartment is located directly beneath a neighbor’s terrace, resulting in critically low ceilings. Existing technical nodes and engineering networks from the former office dictated rigid frameworks into which we had to fit a comfortable living ergonomics. 

Solution
We completely redefined the logic of the object, merging the opposites: open communal areas and intimate private quarters.

Zoning: A rational separation of guest and private blocks.

Lighting: A multi-level scheme. Even general lighting for orientation, accent spots for functional zones, and hidden LEDs in shadow gaps to create volume and atmosphere.

Details: We used “floating” furniture to visually lighten the space. The palette is restrained: deep green in the kitchen, neutral textures in the living room, and subtle touches of yellow in the children’s rooms.

Details

Mirror illusions break the rigid geometry, dissolving the room’s boundaries into reflections. Function is delicately concealed behind aesthetics: deep brown veneered panels with a matte finish hide the daily routine of the hallway and kitchen. Lighting serves more than just a functional purpose; it acts as a zoning tool. Accent and decorative scenarios visually “detach” furniture from the walls, adding air to the interior. In the children’s rooms, austerity gives way to emotion: vivid yellow adds dynamics, while a light gray pegboard becomes a space for creativity and collections.

Conclusion
The Bezmirno team converted a technically complex, “cold” commercial unit into a flexible living space. The Homin interior does not dictate rules but adapts to the family’s life scenarios, remaining timeless.
