Russian terror continues, cities are suffering, and as a result, the war continues to profoundly affect children’s mental health, lives, and development.

But we are confident in our country’s successful future. And today, despite an emotionally difficult day, we have good news: construction has begun on the unique “Voices of Children” Childhood Center!

This will be Ukraine’s first year-round facility for comprehensive psychological rehabilitation for children and parents who have been negatively affected by the war.

On June 5, in the picturesque village of Dzvinove in the Kyiv region, we gathered journalists, partners, human rights activists, diplomats, and families with children to celebrate the start of this great endeavor together.

Here, in this quiet forest clearing with a natural spring, we are creating a place where children can recharge, find support, laugh heartily—or simply sit in silence alongside those who understand their difficult experiences.

The event began symbolically—with the laying of a “time capsule” containing a message to the children of the future. Inside are words of support and hope. Because everything we’re doing now is for them and about them

Under the tent, a deep discussion took place on how to support children during wartime—with Olena Rozvadovska, Azad Safarov, Iryna Tulyakova, Sasha Romantsova, Nataliia Masiak, as well as children and families who are on their journey of recovery alongside the foundation.

“Children shouldn’t have to wait for the war to end to begin healing. We need to create safe spaces right now—where a child can once again feel safe, heard, and alive,” emphasized Olena Rozvadovska, co-founder of “Children’s Voices.”

Meanwhile, the children took part in activities, drew, played, and laughed. The venue also featured an exhibition of the children’s drawings depicting their vision of the future Center.

Guests were treated to refreshments outdoors (thank you to Ponchyk Boy, Smakuli, and the delicious pies from the “Taki Pirogy” bakery). And all of this was accompanied by traditional singing and dancing by the incredible Orelia

What is currently on paper will very soon become a reality. Children will be able to stay at the Center for 14 or 20 days, depending on the program. The facility will include dormitories, shelters, rooms for individual and group work with psychologists, art therapy, sensory integration, and recreational activities. Initially, the Center will accommodate up to 100 children at a time, and later—family groups as well. All services will be provided free of charge.

In just one year, in the summer of 2026, the Center will open its doors to its first children.

Anna Iskierdo, co-founder of the architectural firm AIMM, discusses urban revitalization: which areas of the capital need to be reimagined, what international best practices should be considered, what major challenges this process faces, and what the future holds for revitalization as a trend in Ukraine.

Revitalization: A Trend or a Dead End?

We recently unveiled a new residential neighborhood in Uzhhorod in collaboration with Sensar Development. We’d like to share a glimpse of how the future development took shape during the concept design phase. 

We took into account urban planning restrictions and the site’s specific characteristics, further analyzed external factors, and developed the future exterior design of the buildings. We will share more details about the project on our company’s website in the coming weeks.

The PROSTONEBA Architecture Festival opened with a discussion on socially responsible business. Speaking on behalf of the Ukrainian Chamber of Architects Foundation, she highlighted the results of their work and the importance of the architectural community coming together to achieve major goals in supporting the Armed Forces!

The Creator City Residential Complex is the first in Ukraine without air conditioning units on its facades. How can we preserve the building’s aesthetic appearance and avoid visual clutter? And at the same time, create a comfortable environment inside the building? Let’s figure it out together…

The secret lies in a unique central air conditioning system. It completely eliminates the need to install outdoor air conditioning units on the facades. Instead, they will be located on the building’s roof and in hidden technical areas (passageways and parking lots).

This system demonstrates significantly higher energy efficiency than conventional systems. Residents can use it simultaneously for both cooling and heating, and adjust the settings independently of their neighbors.

The design of the indoor units varies to suit different functional interior solutions. During the design phase, we conducted thorough noise level simulations and guarantee that the residential complex will be quiet and comfortable.

More about the architecture of the complex is on the CREATOR CITY project page.

Maksym Myatko shared his thoughts and suggestions during a discussion with experts on the importance of implementing BIM technologies in Ukraine. Today, BIM is the standard for modern design.

At AIMM, we use the BIM system, which allows us to integrate into the international paradigm. It is a tool for accurate budget planning and clear deadlines, which is critically important for developers and public projects.

We design complex technological facilities, and one such project is the Albion river-sea port. This is an innovative port hub in the Izmail district. Our goal is to create a new level of logistics where efficiency is combined with comfort for people.

The design work was carried out on a complex site with existing infrastructure. Our solution was to create a high-tech port that includes three grain terminals, storage tanks for oil and fuel, and a key railway junction.

The heart of the port is a multifunctional administrative building. It serves as the main management center for the complex, combining an administrative wing, a hotel, a dining hall, and a full-scale fitness and wellness center with a swimming pool and a gym. We have also included a pedestrian bridge connecting to the terminals.

The site has been landscaped with modern amenities, including recreational areas, greenery, and artificial ponds.

The Confederation of Builders of Ukraine has recognized the Dnipro Island residential complex as Ukraine’s most ambitious architectural project of 2025 as part of the iBuild National Award.

This award confirms that innovative architecture, tailored to people’s needs and meeting the highest standards of comfort, is in high demand in society.

We continue to move forward and maintain our leadership position by creating architecture that changes cities for the better.
