With a kind of kindergarten

The main advantage of the Moscow three-bedroom apartment with an area of ​​77.8 m2 in the new building is a fundamentally architectural approach to the design

The main wall is a mirroring: in the absence of doors in it in all its glory, a living room, a kitchen and a pylon with a furniture column are reflected in it. On the mirror the hooks for clothes and hemispherical lamps are fixed. It seems that they are made of the same material as a mirror. To the right of the entrance - custom small bedside table with frame inserts, consonant in the furniture composition in the living room

Due to the bedrooms superimposed on the walls, the surface of the plasterboard surface is increasing, forming a niche with a shelf, then put forward forward; An architectural game with volumes and rhythm has become the decoration of this strict interior. Wall with plasterboard walls are hidden risers and liners for radiators

The architect has built a kitchen composition on horizontals, reinforced with a solid metal board and a single dark cornese, happing all furniture

In this strict kitchen, colored ceramics and natural colors of living greenery look especially advantageous. Thin curtains from Organza with a Lilodato Blue Toward gave a purely practical room Elegance

Thanks to the open planning from the dining area of ​​the kitchen, an exciting perspective opens, reflected in the hallway mirror

The mirrored panel door of the dressing room in the office reflects the window, turning into a kind of "deceiving". The triangular writing table is made to order according to the drawings of the author of the project

Made from the same bilateral jacquard tissue of halves of dense curtains in the living room are hanging differently. Their drawing is identical, but color they are directly opposite to each other: the right port and left as a positive and negative

Volumetric and planar solutions that are tangible to the square are characteristic of this apartment. It is a bright example of a shelf, framing an angle of the hallway.

Volumetric and planar solutions that are tangible to the square are characteristic of this apartment. It is a bright example of the decor of the bathroom: a square mirror with illumination around the perimeter continued the theme of numerous luminous squares (shed in the living room, lamps in the hallway, chandeliers in the kitchen). The unity of the color scheme in all zones gives the interior of wholeness and expressiveness

Plan before reorganization

Plan after reorganization

In this cozy and peaceful space, the architect managed to accurately embody strictly equilibrium in pairs of opposites: between chamber comfort and large-scale generalization, color asceticism and warm intonations, convenience and expressive spatial solutions.

Corner angle

Elegant niches, cutting walls of the living room, are equipped with expressive point backlighting from the greatest success of the architectation - emphasizing the protruding angles of so-called furniture columns. Made it twice and two ways. The most problematic in the total composition of the apartment carrying a pylon between the hallway and the living room, on both sides, from the bottom to the top covered by a volume of a long-term structure resembling a large shelf. Its dimensions are 2604545cm, the cabinet below is 805050cm. Belonging both the living room and the hallway, visible from most rooms and also affecting the mirror at the entrance, it literally unites the space of the apartment around him. When you move around the house, a light through silhouette "shells" winning appears in various angles, as if inviting around. The wedn room is the same principle, but based on the "subtraction of mass": the shelves do not frame the pylon, continuing it outside, and are bundled in its thickness and covered with glazed sash. But also there, and here it is revealed to what the interior designers usually ignore is plastic walls, its volume.

However, elements of alignment in the apartment are still present. Thus, in the kitchen separated and the living room, the carrier partition cut through a large opening, which framed a wide P-shaped frame from shellaires stitched with plasterboard. There is no door between the living room, the kitchen and the hallway. Only a free standing pylon, partially stuck with shelves, is "holding" angle effectively, without giving it to three spaces to completely merge.

Such moderate openness enriched all three rooms, visually increasing them. A small kitchen no longer seems close, separated from the rest of the housing by a box. The living room, becoming a passage, as if he entered its area at the expense of the neighboring rooms; This contributed to the device in the hallway of the mirror wall. Interesting views of the front part of the apartment are now opening the protests of doors from the hallway.

Cubes for adults

The decoration of the pylon angle in the living room restore a wall-colored composition of dark painted oak, made to order and consisting of a low long standby, wardrobe and shelves. One side of the shelf is embraced into the facade of the cabinet, and the other invades the limits of a large photophanno, performed by the photo artist Andrei Koreshkov. Photographic printed on canvas and stretched on a subframe of 180160cm. Actually, the entire furniture composition looks like a huge cubic frame for panel. This "scenery" denotes the boundaries of the artwork and at the same time they violate them itself. Its active invasion is even more emphasized by the fragility of the world captured in photography: dried epic, leaves, branches, in essence, sera, but full of peculiar beauty, which has become apparent with repeated increases. For the apparent arbitrariness of the composition there is a huge work: the stems of the dryness have repeatedly reincounded, they were highlighted differently and filmed in various angles. In general, more than 40 doubles were made, and the most expressive of them was honored to decorate the living room.

The adjustment of the initial plan affected the hallway and bathroom. From the former "shreddiness" of the plan of these premises decided to move away: the corridor was abolished in favor of a more spacious (4.3m2) bathroom, and now you can go through the living room. The transfer of the doorway, in turn, demanded the redevelopment of this very remote room from the inlet of the room, non-standard form: the plan of the house has broken outlines, and the appearance at the junction of sections of such acute-angled premises, reminiscent of the wagging on clothes, turned out to be inevitable. Designers offered to remove the sharp corner under the storage room. The entrance of the reorganization of the acute-coronal storage room was retained, but decreased and leveled, and the entrance to it from the side of the small room was disguised as a door with a mirror. As a result, the living room also acquired the shape of an equilibrium trapezium. The premises of the room gave and the placement of furniture, filling the corners and allowed to form the axis of symmetry, a wide direct passage to the loggia. It serves as a minor: there is a washing machine, ironing board, a locker, hangs on drying underwear. Such a loggia (the door on it is leading from the kitchen) the windowsill of a whitewash oak turned into a bar (26028cm); Nearby put rotating bar chairs. The window offers a view of the courtyard with a kindergarten, which will be a daughter. The walls are decorated with photos and brought from travel plates. Behind the counter can be sitting with a glass of wine, work with a laptop (thus the loggia is turning into the "club of interests", then in the mini-office). Next, exit to an open smoking balcony.

Cozy, practical and light

The owner of Svetlana Apartments is responsible for the editorial office.

- Admit: If it were not for the birth of the Duni in 2007, we wouldn't write about now?

- This is true: the coming down of the family gave us "acceleration". The apartment was renovated very quickly for six months. We did not meet quite a little bit, so the Dunya found the final stage.

- What were your own aesthetic ideas? Do they coincided with the ideas of the spouse or did you somehow divided the "spheres of influence" somehow?

- I wanted not classics, but simple and expressive modern solutions. The stylistics of southern resort architecture attracted: cozy, not cluttered spaces of space, practical and bright. Ignat belongs to redevelopment ideas: he insisted on the increase in the bathroom area at the expense of a short corridor, on transfer to the living room of the entrance door to the long room and on the partial alignment of the living room and the kitchen. Finally, especially the road to him, a small loggia with a bar counter - it also came up with.

- How easy it was possible to find the right things? Was these long and difficult seals or quick guessing suitable?

- Rather, the second. Things were picked up quite easily. There were successful color solutions when the forced deviations from the conceived turned out to be even better than the initial design. In addition, we were so trusted to the taste of Julia that the larger torque had not experienced.

The main advantage of this apartment is fundamentally architectural, and not a decorator approach to design. The apartment is not a totality of decorated surfaces, but a well-thought-out volume-spatial composition, calculated on perception in different angles. Most apartments have a square. It is not surprising that the square became the leitmotif of the decor of the apartment. The correct and stable geometry based on direct corners was complemented by the forms inherent in organic nature: such, for example, patterns on the curtains and the outlines of the chandelier. Natural theme supported and natural materials in decoration, furniture and textiles. The space "tone" color contrasts, almost graphic, built on various combinations of dark and light surfaces. In general, the interiors are solved simply and wisely. Without the formulation of super-tasks and excessive costs, using the simplest techniques and a rather limited set of forms and colors created an ergonomic space in which it will be convenient to live a young family.

"Triangular" room

From the acute-angular form of the room tried to extract maximum benefits. The most acute and therefore the most inconvenient angle was turned into a storage room and covered with a mirror door, closerly closed by a sharply narrowing perspective of the room (if you look from the loggia). The sofa was framed by a shelf moving into a written table with a triangular table top, and in the corner opposite placed a wardrobe in size 43626070cm. Bnowly adjoins a shallow triangular niche with open shelves. Thus, the facades of the furniture formed two parallels, between which there is enough space not only for free movement on the room, but also in order to decompose the sofa. Excessive proof of a successful solution serves as a plan- beautiful slim triangle with a slightly asymmetric filling, insulting memories of the bold solutions of Russian constructivism of the 20th. last century.

Tell the author of the project

Apartments in which there is an incorrect form, often puzzled owners. They do not know how to approach indirect corners, and is called to help the architect. So it was in this case. Another serious problem was redevelopment associated with partial movement of partitions. It was especially difficult to disrupt the integrity of the bearing wall between the kitchen and the living room. In coordination with the organization that engineered a house, a large opening was cut in the wall, on the perimeter of which powerful metal profiles had to skip. They were plastered, sewed plasterboard, and they formed a wide P-shaped input. The corresponding permission was obtained for the insulation of loggias. Glazed initially, they were equipped with thermal insulation, electric radiators, warm floors and turned into additional mini-rooms.

The success of the owners really helped success. So, they calmly agreed to an experiment with furniture to order: in it wooden pieces are combined with metal inserts and photoparanno. When buying the necessary things, the spouses listened to my advice, and this creative freedom and confidence affected the character of the apartment - light and relaxed.
