Walls - no interference: how to bypass supporting structures

Refusal of the usual designs and original decoration techniques helped the architects to turn a typical cottage with a rigid corridor layout in a dwelling with a single representative zone and separate private premises.

If the living room will need to create a more chamber atmosphere, the ceiling light plaffers are easy to lower down - it is enough to remove the cords of the suspensions with the position of the ceiling hooks

Residential structure - a two-story house located near Novosibirsk, was acquired by our heroes (a married couple, which has an adult daughter, regularly visiting guests) a few years later after its construction. Circumstances favored to buyers: the building was implemented as the roof "box" from aerated concrete blocks, which also managed to settle - dry and duck. In addition, the house was built as part of the cottage village, therefore had "outputs" on centralized water supply and drainage systems, it was also not difficult to connect it to the local "electricity". In other words, the arrangement of the cottage could be started immediately, citing space on his own understanding. Customer requirements - "new clothes" was considered as a place for permanent residence - were very defined. So, the owner dreamed of creating a single representative space on the first floor. As for the design, customers decided to adhere to minimalism, acting with a light-up to the price availability, functionality and practicality of the selected materials and objects of the situation.

A rigorous natural color gamut compensates for a variety of textures having a more or less pronounced texture of wooden, plastered, ceramic and smooth painted surfaces

If you have direct acquaintance with the object, architects revealed several unpleasant moments, because of which they had to abandon some ideas, and the implementation of other ideas was difficult and delayed. For example, it was not possible to realize the wish of the owner about the unity of the premises of general purpose (kitchen, dining room, living room, and even the hall) - all the inner walls on the first floor were supporting, and their dismantling would have led to a violation of the building structure. Nevertheless, the designers found a way to create the illusion of the flowing space. For this purpose, the doorways between the volumes that were allocated to the mentioned zones were maximally expanded, they refused their framing. Another reception was used with the organization of the second floor, where they designed the bedrooms of the owners and daughters. Increase the size of interior discovers did not become, but for their filling, instead of the deaf doors, a canvas were used from providing high insolation of satin glass. Here, on the second floor, the owner's office placed. Since the room is not so privatically as the rooms for recreation, the wall between him and the hall was dismantled, and its place was in the future, the sliding partition was also taken from satin glass.

When building a staircase, the planning lack of a cottage (the capital of the internal bearing walls), on the contrary, played on his hand, because it allowed to resort to the air construction on the parodes

Objects of furniture

The need to use a particular item in each room was determined depending on its functionality and compliance with the selected design style. That is why there is no "unnecessary" furniture in the house. But some deviations from the miser to expressive means of minimalism still have, for example, a dining table with an oak countertop and deliberately coarse support from welded structures. The main auto author of the project is the architect Ksenia Eliseeva - I wanted to revive the concise medium a little, and she "settled" a brutal product in the house, which, however, does not contradict the general concept.

The community of registration also contributed to the visual association of premises. The color composition of the interior of the first floor was made of white, natural shades of soil, minerals and wood; At the same time used different finishing materials. For example, interior paint applied for the design of walls in the living room and the kitchen-dining room, and in addition, decorative plaster, mosaic and porcelain stoneware, whose texture reproduces natural stone. The floor in all rooms was lined with porcelain stoneware. In addition to it, the wood was used, which "filled" niches in the ceilings. Similar color gamut and the same materials used on the second floor. True, in the parent bedroom, the natural palette revived an accent green-yellow tone, in the daughter's room - bright yellow.

Make a speaker to balanced, stable interior helped repeating horizontal and vertical elements - photos, rods, railing, light niches and "rules" of embedded lamps

An alternative finish (masturbation, plaster) was used carefully, only on one of the walls in each room.

Another element that demanded special attention - beams from glue timber, which were used as overlaps. Despite the time who has passed since the construction of the cottage, the tree still maintained mobility under the influence of temperature and humidity drops, which is why in the process of working on the interior it was necessary to find an alternative to the initially proposed solution to the staircase. Constructively, the last remained unchanged (the idea of ​​architects to build a visually light ladder at the parodes, found a living response in the hearts of the owners). But instead of the glass wall from the floor to the ceiling, the perile fence from metal rods and timber had to be mounted. The presence of beams affected the organization of the coverage of the cottage. Since most of the main premises have a rather impressive area (over 30 m2), then the heights of the ceilings (in 3 m) and it was not enough to use suspended luminaires. The beams began to hide behind the stitched ceiling from GLC, "rejected" at least 20 cm. From the situation came out as follows. Both floors were illuminated by means of embedded models whose location was considered very carefully, - light sources needed to be placed in a niche between the beams. The only exception was made for the living room - the sofa group accented with suspensions on flexible adjustable guides.

The owners of the house are practical people, and therefore they did not want to engage in global reorganization of space. On the first floor, we expanded interroom overwhelms, renewed a small storage room in the laundry and combined it with a bathroom. The last manipulation made it possible to free up in the hallway enough area for the equipment of an embedded cabinet. On the second floor, we broke the wall between the Hall and the Cabinet to bring more light into the interior. In the master bedroom staged a dressing room. Implemented almost everything that planned, however, wooden floors and aerated concrete blocks for exterior walls delivered a lot of trouble during the repair process. I had to spend a lot of time on the preparation of walls and ceilings to prevent the appearance of small cracks. Between the floors made additional noise insulation. The implementation of the project took about one and a half years - the customers lived in another city, and all decisions were approved remotely.

The illusion of a single representative space was able to create due to the competent distribution of finishing materials. For example, "superimposed" one on the other walls of the living room and kitchen were covered with the same white paint

Before printing, black and white photos depicting European dlya-notes was treated with the sepia filter

Dominant living room - modular sofa. Its elements are not bonded between themselves, and therefore it is permissible to regroup as needed

There are no doors between representative premises and the hall of the first floor, thanks to which it was possible to provide good insolation.

There was free space between the kitchen head and the ceiling, which contributed to the visual increase in the volume of the room

Kitchen-dining area

Peninsula allowed to increase the length of the cooking zone, and besides, separating it from the entrance to the room and from the dining group

On the first floor there are only four doors. Interrooms have glazed, entrance (one of them leads to the garage) metal

The bedroom of the daughter was conventionally divided into two halves - a seating area and a boudoir. The border between them is a few dense curtains (from floor to ceiling), fully blocking daylight

In the room allotted under the host bedroom, the partition was erected with sliding doors. About a third of the area of ​​the room occupied the dressing room

Wet areas were equipped in the same style as the rest of the premises, applying concisely decorated, but practical equipment and furniture

Plumbing equipment distributed depending on the floor. On the first, representative, level placed shower corner, on the second, private, - bath
