NewsHouse 2.0 / balbek bureau

The building on Khreshchatyk was constructed in 1849 as a postal station. Later, one of the first Ukrainian television studios started operating here, but it burned down in the 1990s. Two floors of the building were allocated for the future newsroom. The main hall is very tall, with ceilings reaching 9 meters, sometimes preserving soot from the fire. This large dark space had an impressive appearance and became the basis for the future concept.
