Church of St. Luke of Simferopol in Zhilino with copper roof, view from the entrance side, 2016.

The copper roof of the Church of St. Luke of Simferopol in the village of Zhilino is a project in the portfolio of RADEKA. The photo gallery features the dome, sloped and rounded sections of the roof, and details of the covering during the work. Photos from 2013 to 2025 show how the shade of copper changes over time — from its initial shine to a deep dark tone.
