Flowers of Ukraine

Flowers of Ukraine is a notable late-soviet modernist building in Kyiv, designed by architect Mykola Levchuk and completed in 1985. Recognized as 'Building of the Year' in 1986, it features a striking five-storey structure with a unique glazed façade and an atrium surrounded by galleries. Originally serving as a large flower shop and cultural space, the building has been at the center of preservation efforts amid plans for reconstruction into an office center. Activists have rallied to protect its cultural heritage status, leading to its inclusion in the State Register of Monuments in 2023, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in modern architecture and urban heritage in Ukraine.
