Project concept:

The secondary school No 53 was built in 1956 in Kyiv downtown and the school building was in a critical condition due to the restrained urban conditions in the neighborhood.  We took a great responsibility and stepped up to the order of the charity organization to reconstruct the building. The project was finished in 2016 and now the school is working.  It was a challenge for us to create the comfortable space for the contemporary Kyiv school children and we have managed to do this.
