Sivak + Partners Sweetens Up a Historic Building for an Odessa Ice Cream Shop<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Kyiv-based firm Sivak + Partners<\/a> had just finished a new project when the war began. \u201cWe barely had time to take a picture,\u201d says founder Dmitry Sivak, \u201cbefore the windows were boarded up.\u201d But behind the boards sits a sweet destination: the Tayu Gelaterie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tayu, he says, \u201ctranslates from Ukranian as I\u2019m melting<\/em>\u2014the name, and the ice cream itself, gave us an idea.\u201d Tucked into a historic building in Odessa, the 800-square-foot space had retained its original decorative ceilings, which Sivak did not want to disturb. The windows were ample but could not be opened. Sivak therefore decided to run vents along the walls, hidden behind great waves of metal cladding which also seem to cup the ceiling. \u201cThe ice cream melts, the architecture of classicism melts,\u201d he says, \u201cand its massive decorative ceiling flows down into the smooth curves of the metal walls.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this difficult moment in his country, he says, \u201cthe ceiling is the link between the interior, the house, and its history.\u201d The boards will come down, and the future will be sweeter. \u201cWe hope that the war in our country will soon be over,\u201d says Sivak, “and we will be able to create new projects.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
