The Architects’ Wings Charity Run—and I ran for the first time!

For us, running isn’t just about sports. It’s about community, symbolism, and faith in Victory.

The route is traditional: from the Monument to the Founders of Kyiv to Poshtova Square and back along the Dnipro River. It’s a place of strength and unity that brings us together around the main goal—supporting our defenders.

For me, every charity event is an opportunity to bring together the community of the Ukrainian Chamber of Architects Foundation and to promote support for the First Presidential Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine “Bureviy” at a time when it’s so easy to say, “We’re tired of the war.”

Last time, we raised 200,000 UAH for the “Bureviy” Brigade—thanks to these funds, the soldiers received fuses and detonators. We also held four charity art auctions and raised a total of about 2 million UAH to purchase drones.

This time, our Independence Day run once again demonstrated how architects, designers, friends, and partners can come together. This is the power of the Architects’ Wings community, which believes in change and makes it possible.

I believe there will be even more of us next time. If this resonates with you and you’d like to join our charity events—let us know in the comments or via DM

Osokorky: Dnipro Island Residential Complex

Today, Osokorky suffers from haphazard high-rise development lacking proper infrastructure. Traffic jams, a shortage of schools, kindergartens, and parking spaces, and a lack of green spaces are the main problems in this area. We have tried to take these factors into account and create a residential complex that will stand out significantly from its neighbors.

Let’s take a closer look at the Dnipro Island residential complex. It consists of four low-rise buildings set in a landscaped area. It will be a true oasis amidst the concrete jungle of this neighborhood. It will be cozy and peaceful, created by the specialists of our AIMM design team.

The project is rooted in a deep respect for the future residents of the complex. We designed it with a human scale and a focus on comfort in mind. We also paid careful attention to the thoughtful landscaping of the courtyards.

The complex’s architecture is impressive. The cascade of terraces not only transforms the facade’s appearance but also adds variety and functionality to the apartment layouts inside. Construction is currently underway, and we’re already looking forward to the completion of the first phase!

Introducing CENTRAL PARK, the largest residential complex in Transcarpathia!

Together with Mark Marchenko, we presented CENTRAL PARK, the largest residential complex in Transcarpathia!

This project is all about synergy and a strong partnership built on experience and trust.

  • Architecture by AIMM

  • Development by Sensar

The word “proud” doesn’t quite capture the depth of my feelings for the team of architects, marketers, visionaries, and owners who have been working on this project for nearly three years!

What Should a Modern Residential Complex Be Like?

What should a modern residential complex be like? The current trend in architecture is human-centered design.

This is reflected in the approach to design and the philosophy behind the layout of the space. From the big picture down to the smallest details.

Low-rise buildings, comfortable amenities with ample greenery, and additional services and retail within a 10-minute walk.

We present our new residential complex project in Lviv.

A cozy low-rise neighborhood development with comfortable amenities, green roofs, and varying building heights that shape the exterior appearance of the buildings.

The landscaping combines a variety of green and recreational areas. Everything is designed so that residents of the neighborhood feel at one with nature and can relax and spend their free time without leaving the residential complex.

The facades are unique. While the different exterior designs of the sections contrast with one another, they blend harmoniously to form a cohesive composition.

Form, color, rhythm—everything has been taken into account!

What’s Happening in the Real Estate Market in 2025

An article was published in Ekonomichna Pravda in which Anna Iskierdo—Creative Director and Co-founder of AIMM—discussed what’s happening in the real estate market in 2025.

Between concrete realities and visions of the future.

In daily work with architects, investors, and developers, it’s hard not to notice the changes. War and global transformations are shaping entirely new rules of the game.

This isn’t just an analysis of trends—it’s about what our cities could be like if we think not only in terms of square meters, but also in terms of meaning.

A discussion by Demetrio Felice

I’ve compiled a list of the top three things to know about investing in art, based on an interesting discussion by Demetrio Felice at a construction conference where the main topic was investment.

We discussed the synergy between art and business with experts.  Art today is a powerful tool for influence, inspiration, and even an investment opportunity. Today, creativity is not just about the possibility of self-expression.

– For art to be an investment rather than a collection, education is needed for a wide range of investors.

– Selling and investing work well through the synergy of different businesses; for example, the Avangarden restaurant, which serves food and exhibits art for sale at the same time

– Art as a means of raising funds for charitable projects

A New Chapter in My Life – President of the Ukrainian Chamber of Architects Foundation

Президент Фонду архітектурної палати України

A new chapter in my life and a new level of responsibility—President of the Ukrainian Chamber of Architects Foundation. Together, we’ve already accomplished a lot by purchasing nearly 1,000 drones, vehicles, and antennas, and now we’re doing everything we can to raise funds for the construction of a school for drone pilots and electronic warfare specialists for the First Presidential Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine, “Bureviy.” I’ll share our plans for 2025 soon, but for now, I want to say that we’re all volunteers here. And I dream that there will be more of us. The Ukrainian Architectural Chamber Foundation is a platform for charitable initiatives where anyone can create their own project and bring it to life—now it’s possible!

Over the past 1.5 years of the ARCHITECTS’ WINGS initiative, more than 650 architects and designers from every corner of Ukraine have joined us. I never would have thought that I would come to love people so much. Everyone’s support is priceless!

Without you, this wouldn’t be possible. First and foremost, thank you to Vasulko Franchak, my rock from day one, an incredible person, and the mastermind behind all of Architects’ Wings’ graphics! Thank you to our reliable president, Anna Kyrii, who has led the Foundation for three years and created projects we can be proud of! Thank you to our fairies who help us with the auctions: Yulia Gylenko, Sofi Galat, Olena Shnit, Svetlana Sizemova, and Nataliya Buglak. To the ever-present art curator of ART•ARCH•WINGS, Demetrio Felice. To my business partner, Maksym Myatko, because I have a little less time for architecture now)). To my colleagues in the creative department, who are always ready to help with any “off-the-cuff” request.

 Olesya Skrynnyk recently joined us, and we’re building the very website that both you and we need).

We’re really counting on your support) if I haven’t reached out to you yet, know that the day will come!
