Designer Dan Vakhrameyev has created a sleek, multifunctional interior for an aircraft hangar filled with industrial design details for skydiving collective Aerotim in Ukraine.

Vakhrameyev, who is co-founder of the Pluskouple design studio, designed the interior of the industrial hangar for Timur Fatkullin's Aerotim collective.

Located in an undisclosed location, it was intended to function both as a maintenance space for the aeroplanes and a place where the crew could hang out.

The outside of the hangar has an industrial-style full-width gate covered with raw zinc sheets. At its top, a polycarbonate section lets in light during the day.

Inside the 400-square-metre hangar, the designer wanted to keep the same pared-back, industrial feel.

"The overall design language remains deliberately restrained, relying on exposed surfaces, honest materials, and precise detailing to create a mature, disciplined environment suited to pre- and post-flight routines," Vakhrameyev said.

The ground floor centres around a full-height hangar hall designed to house light aircraft, with walls made from cement-bonded particle board (CBPB).

To continue the focus on raw materials, Vakhrameyev mounted the panels with visible joints derived from aircraft fuselage rivet-fastening techniques.

Tables, doors and shelves throughout the interior were also made from CBPB, which was kept in its natural grey hue.

"The overall colour scheme was dictated by the exposed surfaces of the building materials we use," the designer told Dezeen. "The goal was to create a mature, disciplined environment with honest, raw materials."

Vakhrameyev designed Aerotim's Crew Station on a mezzanine floor, from which it overlooks the hangar through a floor-to-ceiling glass wall.

Here, crew members share a kitchen, office space, a leisure area and sleeping space, as well as a changing room with showers.

The staff areas feature wooden kitchen cabinets to bring more warmth to the industrial interior, with wooden furnishings and textile walls also added to the sleeping spaces.

These spaces have spot lighting, while the main hangar features linear LED lighting mounted in a structural grid. Vakhrameyev also created a lighting design made from aluminium offcuts for the main meeting area.

Aluminium was also used for the benches and rails in the crew's shower and changing room, while stainless-steel shower elements nod to the zinc gate of the hangar itself.

The floors of the hangar were designed to be sturdy and hardwearing, necessary in an environment that will experience heavy use.

"A seamless polymer floor is applied in the main hangar area, while a durable vinyl surface is used on the second level to facilitate easy maintenance," Vakhrameyev said.

In a recent article, Ukrainian designers told Dezeen design editor Jennifer Hahn how the ongoing war with Russia has made the country's interiors "bolder and more interesting".

Recently, Ukrainian studio Aranchii Architects unveiled designs for a church with a community air-raid shelter.
