Apartment renovation — Velvas apartment

Velvas apartment

The Velvas apartment in Kyiv — a full cycle of finishing works followed by furnishing. The scope covered a bedroom with a 3D-wallpaper accent wall and built-in wardrobes, a combined kitchen-dining room with a multi-level ceiling and mixed flooring, a living room with an electric fireplace in a stone surround, an entrance hall with track lighting, and a black-and-white bathroom clad in subway tile. The photos were taken during furniture delivery and on the completed project.

The account as the owner saw it on April 14, 2023: some stages closed, one under way, the rest ahead. Nothing has been altered — anything photographed later is simply hidden.

Stage schedule

As of April 14, 2023 · 34 of 34 photos

April 2023 — April 2023

Furniture and fittings
Completed

The bars are built from the dates the photographs were taken, not drawn by hand — which is why stages overlap. On a real site something is always being finished while the next trade has already started.

Estimate

In a working account this shows amounts per stage, payments made and the balance. In the demo they are hidden.

The amounts are hidden because this is someone else's project. You will see your own in your estimate, not on a website.

Approvals

Every decision that affects the money or the look is logged as its own item. Until the client marks it approved, work on that item does not start.

Work in progress

Each stage is dates and frames from the site. These were shot for the job, not for a website, which is why some of them look exactly like a building site looks.
