Olga Fradina uses natural tones and textures for interior of Ukrainian holistic healing centre

Space is a holistic wellness centre that includes areas for practising yoga, meditation and acupuncture, as well as traditional healing practices such as reiki and qigong.

Bakhirka had previously commissioned Fradina to design her private apartment in the city and asked the designer to follow a similar direction, although with a warmer palette than the cosily dark residence. Artwork by Nikita Vlasov decorates the massage rooms

Space is located on the ground floor of an early 20th-century building in Kyiv's Podil district that once functioned as a candle factory.
