Designing the interior of this "odnushki" in the center of St. Petersburg, I had to forget about the canons of layout and to liberate the imagination, in order to make a small apartment spacious, easy, beautiful, ergonomic and placing to work.
So that the interior looked spacious, the fence of the mezzanine was performed from transparent glass, other trim and doors -from
The apartment was intended for a girl, a student of the Mukhinsky Art School. We needed good lighting, space and convenient conditions for classes (for a writing desk and in Easel), rational zoning. It was necessary to find a place for living room, kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms and pantry, highlight the storage space. Aesthetics assumed modern, neutral in color and stylistics.
The magnificent historical stucco (a rosette in the center of the ceiling and a cornice height of 30 cm) was restored with a gypsum, painted and covered with a patina under ancient
Redevelopment
In all areas of the apartment, including in the kitchen, the lowest night lighting, switch in the hallway
To the square (room) adjoins the trapezium (input zone) with a concave side (corresponding to the outer wall of the hallway), between them two goat - the apartment plan looked so far before repair. Its features are due to the layout of an old brick house. Architects accepted bold, but the solution optimal in the established conditions: to arrange a kitchen in the passage zone, along the long wall of the trapezium. In the most removed from the window, the part placed a little wicked. Opposite the kitchen front allocated a rectangle for the bathroom, stitching on the side of the residential room, and the entrance was made from the hallway. Opposite the input goal in the room, near two windows, now the area of classes, in the center - sofa, two chairs and a TV, to the right of the entrance along the whole wall - Andresol with a place to sleep (the benefit of the ceiling height is 3.8 m), the cabinets are organized under it .
Two walls in the sleep zone on the mezzanine were separated by veneered oak and toned panels from MDF, the floor was tightened with carpet. Bookcases are suitable close to the eternity, and below continues under the stairs
Repairs
The walls of the bathroom "sprouted" with polychrome garden flowers (painting on the tile) - szvuk sonorous "pop arthovsky" flowers of the chest and sofa in the room
After breaking the old floors, poured the screed and told the parquet board (room) and large-format porcelain tiles (other rooms). Apartments in historical houses are sometimes pleased with their owners to the residues of the "past luxury": stucco decor, as in this case. Because of the antique decor and for more practical considerations, it did not heat the ceiling in the room, only leveled the plaster. In the rest of the premises for the sake of harmonization of proportions and for mounting the wiring, lamps and air ducts - on the contrary. New partitions erected from drywall. The walls were plastered and painted. Installed interroom sliding doors. The windows were replaced on wooden, repeating drawing of bindings of the previous, with double double glazing and built-in blinds. Window sills made from marble. The apartment was equipped with channel air conditioning, the internal unit was installed above the dressing room under the mezzanine.
In the zones of the hallway and kitchen, the ceilings have lowered with drywall and have built long and narrow LED lamps in them, no less laconic black beams attached over the shelf.
Design
This apartment has a lot of non-standard solutions, but at the same time they are so accurately designed, and unusual details in unusual places are so recovered that the interior looks in traditional cozy. The entire input zone has a strict modern appearance, the geometry of direct angle, almost achromatic contrasting materials dominates. The kitchen is built into the resulting niche, ergonomic and externally neutral: laconic, in the tone of the floor finishing gray glossy facades as if retreating deep into the depth, flowing into a living room. On the right of a narrow ribbon the shelf is stretched, which can be used as a stand in the room, encroaching the angle, it turns into a wider half-robes tabletop (height 0.95 m).
The room combines laconic contemporary in finishing, furniture, with elements of pop art and classic parts, including a table on an antique frame, stucco, chandelier, marble window sills.
Sliding door in the bathroom, cabinet sash compensate for the size of the hallway
Family feature: High ceilings
High (in this case is 3.8 m) ceilings for a small apartment - an invaluable resource: the necessary space can be retrofit. Andresol height of 1.6 m, which allowed unloading space, combined the functions of the sleeping zone, places to store things (under the sleeping place - a dressing room with a doors-coupe) and books (ready-made racks under the stairs and above it).
The apartment is located on the first floor in the house built in 1911 in the style of Modern. A strange form (concave arc) of the hallway is due to the fact that the apartments are adjacent to the round landing, which the entrance doors are watching. The apartment is part of the former communal. In the process of repair, the previous floor had to disassemble, as a result, after installing the new floor, the height of the wall did not change. Ventkanal For the external block of channel air conditioning, stretched to the far (yard) facade, as the windows of the apartment overlook the main facade and disintegrate its historical appearance. For the sake of saving space in the kitchen, the plate chose a two-kite. In the wardrobe, the washing machine, the drying cabinet and the water heating boiler are 30 liters. Due to the fact that the bearing walls in the house are very thick, in the stitching side of the room in the bathroom equipped the shower compartment of 1 × 1 m.
