TEAM
28 team members
are working on the RE:Ukraine Housing project
RE:Ukraine System was developed by balbek bureau, an interior architecture studio with 14 years of experience designing residential and commercial spaces.
In March 2022, architects, project and communications managers joined forces to improve the comfort of IDPs' housing.
For balbek bureau, the project is entirely non-profit, so the RE:Ukraine Housing team needs financial support.
