An interior is in some way the unity of the client’s and designer’s self-reflections, where commonality of interests, visual and historical associations allow to create an integral and at the same time unique project. This apartment of over 100 sq. meters turned out to be such kind of experience for us.
Our clients, fascinated by soviet constructivism and related to the world of arts due to their professional activities, formed an overall impression followed by us while working on this project. The works of Vladimir Tatlin, Alexandr Rodchenko and the VKHUTEMAS played out as the starting points.
Geometrical figures, both internal and external volumes, their intercrossing and layering create the basic concept of the project also supported by the choice of calm and restrained background color palette forming the intimacy and letting us use the active color solutions in the art works that were added later on. The rectangular unit marks the center of the apartment’s volume and sets the circular movement. It forms the integrated color block where the walls, the ceiling and the floor are finished in one material. The cube with storage systems and utility area is situated inside this figure. Thus the living area forms the external perimeter.
The living room and kitchen/dining are integrated – by contrast to a darker lowered volume of walkthrough portals this zone seems really spacious and full of light, grand panoramic windows intensify and contribute to this effect. Kids half and master bedroom are situated at opposite ends of the apartment, this solution ensures the maximum privacy.
Nearly all the furniture along with the lighting systems in general zone were developed by us individually for this project.
