Today most developed countries have realized the main challenge of the new era: education is the priority area of social development in the twentieth century. To raise education creators of the XXI century technologies not only talented teachers and inquisitive active youth are needed, but also new educational platforms which will become “incubators of the future.” Such platforms should be properly designed as architectural environment contributes to achieving high education purposes.

One of the most successful examples is the Gymnasium of Modern Biotechnology, which is designed by License & Arch under the guidance of Oleg Sleptsov and was opened in Kyiv in 2005.

The scientific team headed by Oleg Sleptsov were the first company who turned into life industrial construction in our city Open Constructive System “Cascade”. In 1992-1993 draft experimental kindergarten for 280 children has been created and it incorporated all the major architectural and design know-how systems at that time. Universal three-story space became the central architectural and planning solution for kindergarten building. It was designed without internal support constructions using universal bearing structures of the system “Cascade” and multilevel lighting. Stair halls, swimming pool, game rooms and bedrooms on the second floor got the upper illumination.

Apart from that the experts of License & Arch develped and implemented experimental design “Cascade” at the enterprises of “Ternopilbud” that will be used in the future for building a broad range of public buildings.

These new buildings will enrich Ternopil with extraordinary architectural objects.

In the picturesque suburb of Kyiv, not far from Zhytomyr highway, between the villages Buzova and Mykolaivka, at the beginning of the forest there’s a temple complex of Ukrainian Orthodox Church built in honor of the Holy Martyr Demetrius. Wooden complex consists of beautiful temple, gate with bell tower, Sunday school, refectory and gazebos. The beauty and harmony of this complex was achieved by enthusiasm and efforts of talented architects of License & Arch under the direction of Oleg Sleptsov. It is known that this is not the only building designed by this creative team, but the opinion of every person who has been here is that this project embodied the dream of every Christian – to find a beautiful, pleasant church. And answering the questions “Who designed this house?” of numerous parishioners: it is designed by the architect Oleg Sleptsov with his team License & Arch through the gift of inspiration and talent that they have received from God himself.

Archpriest Bogdan (Tymoshenko)

After my appointment in March 1996 as a rector of the parish of Our Lady of Kazan in the area called Borschagivka, located in the outskirts of Kyiv, I got the ruins of a temple or better to say what remained of it after the attempt to turn it in sports complex “Olympia”.

Then it was hard to imagine that from the ruins a majestic temple will rise, which will be the architectural adornment of the district. The project was executed brilliantly, using the facilities that have been built before to the maximum. We almost did not demolished anything. And the result is a beautiful temple complex, which size in comparison with the former temple is three times bigger. The architects provided the lower house, housing for the families of priests, Sunday school, kitchen, sewing workshop and so on. I think the creative rise of Oleg Sleptsov team License & Arch began with this church. Let our Lord Jesus Christ bless all your good accomplishments, deeds and intentions.

Restaurant Mansarda on Vyshgorodska Street is located in the old cozy green park and there’s a certain charm in it. From its large windows you can see a beautiful view of amazing trees and a small white church. It feels like the greens of the surrounding park moved to the interior of the main hall. The restaurant Mansarda is not just a recreational area, but also a world of pleasant emotions.

I want to thank License & Arch for creative approaches, high professionalism and quality of the design of the restaurant. As a result of our joint efforts we got a cozy mansion, which is comfortable for leisure for adults and children in a cozy, almost home atmosphere.
