A resident of St. Petersburg appealed to the architect from Novosibirsk with a request to equip an apartment in Moscow. Modern means of communication allowed remotely track all stages of work. Having visited the dwelling at the project's completion stage, the author was convinced that the interior in the traditionalism traditions fully corresponds to the creative intent.
Energetic and mobile businessman (by the family of classes, he often visits different countries) planned to equip a small apartment in the house-new building. An open area of receptions, a kitchen, a separate bedroom, a bathroom with a shower compartment, as well as storage locations. The customer has impressed a modern design in the spirit of minimalism, design in bright colors and wood trim, without the use of wallpaper.

Not only the floor, but also the walls, and the ceilings were partially separated by a tree, so that the apartment became very cozy. In a small room with large windows, such a reception helped balance excessive openness of the interior
Redevelopment
In a modest square area, just two windows - how to turn the "miniature" into a comfortable space? Fortunately, there was not a single carrier support inside the apartment, which made it possible to perform an original and convenient layout. For a small hallway with a wardrobe in a niche, a L-shaped dining room opens in a niche, behind it - a pocket, in which the doors in the bedroom and the bathroom are located. The small cube cube, remote from the windows, leads outdoor discovery from the dining area, which helps to improve the insolation of the room. A huge open balloons of a semicircular form to re-equip did not.
Minimalist luminaires on ceilings - overhead cylinders and built-in - do not undermine the height of the walls and create uniform lighting with soft accents over separate zones
Repairs
New partitions erected from foam blocks and drywall. The apartment has already been made, the screed has already been performed, the floor coverings were laid: the porcelain tile in the hallway and the bathroom, in other interiors - a parquet board with a plywood substrate. The ceilings were partially leveled by plasterboard (in those places where the lining of the parquet board was planned), in the rest of the premises installed stretch. For wall decoration, decorative plaster, paint and parquet board were used. In the bathroom, the walls were tested with textured porcelain tiles, the floor - the same material from another collection: large (60 × 60 cm) gray plates laid without seams resemble a concrete coating. In the bedroom and dining room installed air conditioners, the outer blocks were carried to the balcony.Practical approach
In the apartment of a small square, niches become a big help - existing first and created during the repair for built-in furniture and equipment. In this project, for example, the kitchen block in the depths of the apartment was designed, carefully calculated the size of the wardrobes of the working area so that there were no gaps. Next to the passage to the kitchen, a rack was built, which does not interfere with movement, but makes a variety of design. The kitchen stove was installed in a niche formed by carrion walls and vent. The depth of the latter predetermined and the size of the shower compartment, the end of which is adjacent to the protrusion of the mine of a technical riser. Two wardrobes - in the hallway and bedroom - drowned into specially equipped niches, and in the living room, the cabinet was supplemented with a trim, imitating sash. On the place of the latter there is a niche from the bathroom, where they staged a compartment for holding means for cleaning, and the cabinet for bath accessories was joined.
Design
Carefully, up to a centimeter, the desired layout of all rooms, the minimum number of separate furniture items, finishing, built on a comparison of large, moderately contrasting planes, helped create in the apartment comfort, space and stylistic unity. The bright achromatic gamut (white and light gray) complements the decoration of golden wood of two varieties: with more homogeneous and small texture, as well as with wide and contrasting longitudinal stripes. The first was lined with separate contemporaries, the second - floors and ceilings: exactly light rays, smoothly reaching out of windows, they permeate all the interiors. Dark brown cloth curtains complement the volume and spatial picture, "deepening" interior. The same role is the elements of this color in the bathroom (wall-mounted porcelain tiles) and in the kitchen (finishing of the facades with a film imitating stone). Large-format mirrors are not accented, but organically embedded in a common scenario: one fully linedside the carrier pilastry next to the dining area, the other is pasted on the bedroom canvas; The doors of the wardrobe in the corridor are also mirrored.The integrity of the interior achieved at the expense of restrained colors and parts does not turn into monotony due to non-standard compositional solutions
The owner of the apartment completely revealed on me in all matters related to redevelopment and repair. The tasks arising in the process of designing the interior, we solved together with the foreman - that all the time doubts appeared, but a great result convinced the strategy in the correctness of the strategy, and now we complete the joint (also remote) work on the third project. In apartments, such a small square is very important to take into account all the details, calculate them literally to a centimeter, find non-standard solutions. For example, a volumetric tube was designed for the bathroom - a washbasin of an artificial stone, custom-made washing, was built into it, a washing machine is hidden behind the door. The balcony serves as an open terrace, where we installed braid chairs and a table. In the hallway to the wall, wooden painted letters are attached, from which the slogan "has its own way".

After cladding a mirror of the pilastry, the lack of the room turned into dignity: the element does not fill the space, but optically removes the extra volume, creating a game with a perspective. Side part of the pilastry provided with backlit from LED
Motion trajectories are carefully calculated - there are no objects of furniture on the way from the hallway to any room. It is characteristic that the studio zone removed from the windows and the hallway is decorated in white, well reflective light and "expanding" borders
In the wall adjacent to the opening in the kitchen, they made a shallow (17 cm) niche, where the closed sections for storage and open shelves were placed for exposure of souvenirs brought from travel. Different width and membership of the shelf gave expressiveness of the design
In a small bedroom, the feeling of air volume appears due to white and light gray gamma. At the same time, the room does not seem to be "cold": the wall behind the game is finished with a tree, soft ambient lighting creates a built-in lower backlight, supplemented with suspended beams above the bedside table
The mirror over the toilet consists of two parts; The shorter serves as a door that opens by pressing, the water boiler is hidden behind it, access to communications and counters
The editors warns that in accordance with the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, the coordination of the conducted reorganization and redevelopment is required.
