Thanks to significant changes in layout, a spacious kitchen-living room and a separate American type bedroom appear in the apartment.
The owner of a two-bedroom apartment appealed to the editor in a 22-storey monolithic frame house of Manhattan LCD (Chelyabinsk). Housing layout leaves much to be desired: a third of the total area eat narrow corridors, all major rooms have a roughly equal method (about 15 m2). The hostess would like to avoid radical interference, since the apartment already has a premedive finish. At the same time, it needs traditional zones (kitchen, living room, bedroom) and a working corner where she could have been sewing. In addition, she somewhere to store overall sports equipment (snowboard) - in the hallway barely enough space for wardrobes.
As the reader did not rule out the possibility of redevelopment, the designers risked to offer her a project, imposing a partial dismantling of undesupply partitions. So, it is planned to eliminate the wall that shares the kitchen and the central room, so that two rooms are converted into a spacious studio. The latter will be attached and most of the corridor leading to the living room remote from the entrance door, after which the studio area will exceed 40 m2. Here they equip two zones - the kitchen and living room, and also organize a place to sewing.
The remaining part of the corridor will be included in the volume of the future bedroom, but isolateed by means of a swing interior door and turn into a dressing room. The passage to the bedroom will be transferred - it will appear in the wall separating the private room from the studio, and will be closed by a sliding door. All other zones (entrance hall, another corridor, bathroom, bathroom) will remain in the original places and will almost not change, which is due to the geometry of the apartment and the location of capital walls. True, due to dismantling partitions, the insolation of a narrow corridor and the hallway will improve slightly.
Living room
The walls of the living room area covered with white matte paint - the optimal background for bright accents, in the role of which are furniture objects: a sectional sofa of deep, slightly "accurate" blue, mounted cabinets with yellow doors, a red wooden chair.
For each room there is its own color palette, but decorated in different zones combines modern aesthetics
Kitchen
For the finishing of the external walls of the bathroom and facades of the kitchen furniture, similar materials are chosen, so the volume of the wet zone and high cabinets with integrated equipment (oven with the microwave function, dishwasher, refrigerator) seem to be a single block.

Balcony
Thanks to a large setting and rectangular configuration, on the glalled balcony you can organize a small, calculated for two, recreation area. In addition, there is enough space for drying in linen, and for breeding indoor plants.
Parishion
The premises, initially devoid of daylight, will be lighter at the expense of redevelopment, as well as floor decorations and cabinets.
Bedroom
The window will appear a place for reading - the library's shopping library. It, as well as all the adjacent space "cabin" with a cork coating, which will allow partially to repay the street noise. On one side of the bed, a laconic console shelf will be installed, which, together with a soft pouf, forms a toilet area. Also, a compact electric fireplace with air humidification function will also be built into one of the bedroom walls.
Bathroom
To comply with the uniformity of the design and constructive solution of interior doors in the living room area, the entrance to the bathroom is also equipped with a sliding structure, thereby sacrifice the soundproofing of related rooms.
Sanusel
The spacious wet zone managed to provide both the main plumbing equipment, and a spacious economic closet of impressive sizes, in which the washing machine, water heater, as well as shelves for storing household chemicals.
Due to the route and good waterproofing, the pallet is arranged on the same floor
