One bedroom apartment with a total area of 43 m2 in a brick Khrushchev House is a vivid example of a competently organized small space.

Comfort in miniature
The young hostess found its architect on publication in our journal. She immediately attracted a successful reorganization of one-bedroom apartment. In general, it was necessary to solve a similar task, create a comfortable, rationally organized housing on a small area.
So, the previous planning of the apartment was changed, thanks to which two multifunctional zones appeared: the public (which was the entrance hall, bathroom, kitchen, living room, as well as the cabin corner) and private (it turns on the bedroom and dressing room). To save space, the bedroom separated from the front half of the sliding door. The configuration of the room turned out to be complex. But it was dictated by a non-extravagant priest of the architect, and the desire to rationally use literally every square centimeter of the square.
How dreams come true
Says hope, hostess of the apartment.
Architect Olga Kharchenko I spotted by reading the article in the magazine "Ideas of your home". I really liked how interesting and rationally she planned a one-room apartment. Hatting Olga mainly draws up spacious luxury interiors, she agreed to take up my little housing. Jasted to fulfill the interior in the warm range (after all, in Moscow not so much sunny days). Items necessarily had a natural tree.
The apartment turned out comfortable, cozy, warm and modern, as I wanted. Surprisingly, Olga, all my wishes understood literally from a half asylum, felt that I needed, and all this was embodied in the project.
Living with my parents, I slept on a folding sofa. Ateper I wanted to have a big bed in an isolated bedroom. It's amazing that it turned out with such small size sizes, and the room seems spacious! There was another "female dream" - bathroom, although I usually take a shower. Olga managed to find a solution and this task. Corner for classes in my case is not a whim, but the need. I do not have a lawyer, I have a lot of books, notebooks, abstracts. The fact that the cabinet is not at the window does not bother me, - because I only do in the evenings when I come from the institute, and the electric light in this clock is still needed.
I also had specific wishes for the setting and furnishing of the premises. I have a fan of shoes, but it must be stored somewhere. Now I have two spacious, comfortable wardrobe, where there was a place and all other things. So now in the apartment is always order. Avto Dining table in the kitchen I do not need absolutely. I always liked the idea of a bar counter, and the current option is exactly what you need. Although funny curiosities happened because of this item. One day I had to call an ambulance, and the doctor did not have anything else, how to sit on a bar chair (I don't have the usual one), and he all demanded to give him a normal chair. Perhaps over time when I have a family, you will need a traditional dining table. But I am him and the head.
The window washing at the window was still my mom's dream: while washing dishes to enjoy the contemplation of nature. Many thanks to Olga for the fact that she offered to install the microwave, united with an oven, and the place saves, and everything is at hand: it often happens to heal something or defrost. And I was afraid that this option would be much more expensive than usual, and it turned out that it was completely slightly slightly.
In general, in the kitchen there are many interesting details. For example, "game" lamps. Their plaffones are scored from glass plates, which can be rotated, creating a cube, then a spiral, then some more forms.
When my portrait appeared in the living room, I understood how important it was for me. The photo will never replace a good painting - the artist caught and showed what no camera will be transmitted. Now we want to order him a group portrait of our entire family, which will hang in the apartment of the parents. The only thing I want to change today is the color of the curtains in the living room: let them be brighter.
Selectable wardrobe intelligible wicked roomy. Gostny with great ingenuity has a corner for classes. The rooms are decorated in modern stylistics, relaxed warm, mainly a golden brown gamut and a variety of textures (wood, porcelain stoneware, ceramic tiles, glass and glass blocks, metal and textiles).
Due to the fact that the bathroom appeared the fifth corner, outstanding in the living room, to the tiny room (3.8m2) let the minimum largest, but very comfortable angular combination bath. It combines a rounded font and shower cabin. Under custom-made tabletop washbasin (the standard did not pass in size) successfully got a washing machine. The cochnic box is adjacent to the miniature toilet. Byam Tekkorobek, behind elegant glass doors, managed to place a boiler and shelves for storing detergents and other household items. With all the "density" of the furnishings, the bathroom looks quite spacious.
The living room was combined with the kitchen only so it was possible to get at least one full-fledged room. At the border of two zones, they set a narrow bar rack, and the back to the neuto. The rack also plays the role of the dining table, the usual not fit here. It is enough space for two, but if desired, four will be completely arranged. It turned out very convenient: you can, without breaking away from the meal, watch TV.
The kitchen area is 6.4 m2, it is almost square in terms of room. It would seem that it is impossible to avoid tightness and discomfort. The same architect managed to change unsuccessful starting conditions and push the boundaries. By placing the necessary equipment along the far wall, the author of the project included the space of the window sill in the working area. Now the room looks spacious, it is pleasant and convenient to move. After all, the union of the window sill with a tabletop created an additional work surface, and literally sprinkled with natural light. There is a washing here. The heating radiator, previously located under the windows, was dismantled, the eyeliner was muffled. Ave living room installed an increased power radiator - now it is heating the entire public area.
Bar rack 50cm wide performs the function of the dining table. Thanks to the rounded end, four people can accommodate here. In the case of a friendly party under the bar, the Wall, the Wine Cellar is arranged - a rack with bottles for bottles. Nearby, at hand, - a wardrobe with tea facilities and kitchenware, and on a chrome-plated support stand-holder for glasses.
As usual, Architect Olga Kharchenko with extreme pedanotism approached all aspects of the planning. For example, the minimum distance from the TV screen to the eye should be equal to three diagonals. To comply with the recommended hygienic standards, the architect designed niche in the partition between the bedroom and the living room. Week recess and placed the screen. The niche was tiled under the brick and added "hugging" the angle of the shelves. So the requirements of ergonomics affected the design of the living room, which by its unusual immediately attracts attention.
A whole dressing room is equipped next to the bedroom, because according to the calculations of the architect the wardrobe compartment for storing things is not enough. In addition to clothes, large household accessories can be located in addition to clothing. But this volume, the prudent author of the project seemed a little, and two low-teater appeared in the bedroom on both sides of the bed headboard, and another one by the window. Dresser near the window is connected to the neighboring table top, it installed a TV and a music center. And the width of the countertop (only 45cm) does not interfere with approach the window, delay or push the curtains.
With all the ingenuity and thoroughness of the calculations, the planning is not the only task successfully solved by Olga Kharchenko. Indeed, as a result of the redistribution of volumes and transfer of partitions, unprovenable structural parts opened. Bearing structures needed plastic adjustment. The apartment is three massive rigels: two in the bedroom, and another stretch through the living-kitchen and the hallway-dressing room. Each is lowered from the ceiling by as much as 60cm. For their visual smoothing, various techniques used: in the living room, it is a stepped scenery with built-in backlight, in the bedroom-masking of the level of levels.
Headache
Rigel over headboard in the bedroom needed to somehow disguise, otherwise he would bring the hostess to headaches. In any case, this is the opinion of many psychologists. They advise to avoid such a placement of furniture when protrusions of the beams are above the head of a sleeping person. Therefore, Architect Olga Kharchenko decided to hide the reigleel behind the stitched plasterboard element, which comes from the ceiling to a height of 150cm from the floor. A niche is cut into such a hole, the hidden illumination is located below, just above the headboard. This light replaces traditional sconces or lamps on the bedside tables. Belms are placed favorite soft toys. There is in the room and another niche, above the chest at the window. There are a large mirror with Aureliano Toso (Italy) lamps. It turned out a comfortable dressing table. The mirror visually expands the space, which is especially relevant in this part of the room, a narrowed outbreak of the wall between the bedroom and the living room.
The choice for the design of the apartment with a warm palette is dictated not only by the wishes of the hostess, but also the location of the house- here only in the Summer Summer. Colors are connected according to the principle of contrast: for example, furniture, lined with veneer nut, looks profitably on the background of light golden walls. It is noteworthy that Olga Kharchenko never uses pure white even for the ceiling, prefers the shade of ivory or vanilla to bring a feeling of solar heat in the northern megacity to the interior of the house and give the space a cozy and adopted appearance.
The living room is decorated with hostess. It is located in the recreation area and is excellent already from the entrance door. According to the architect, until the last moment, they hopefully discussed, which looks at this wall. It is more successful: poster, graphics ... A detection has come to understand that it is more interesting to portrait a girl living in this apartment, can not be anything. The portrait wrote the artist Vladimir Arkov. He himself identified the classic style and created a "costume", the romantic image of Juliet. So in the interior, already filled with original solutions, another intrigue originated. The picturesque canvas emphasized the topic of man-made, traditional home environment, organized for the life of a particular person.
Light, easy, beautiful
Glass blocks in this bathroom are not tribute to fashion, but aesthetic and practical need. If the angle of this room speaker in the direction of the living room was sewn tightly, the impression of cramped and even some aggressiveness of space would be created. To avoid this, the author of the project came up with a decorative inset of the glass blocks Vetroarredo (Italy) of a bronze color, which is harmonized with the overall range of the interior. The stepped pattern of masonry visually facilitates the design, while helping to avoid the impression of an excessive openness of the bathroom. The surface of the glass block slightly misses the light, but due to the complex texture makes the wall impermeable for the views from the outside. Thus, during the day in the bathroom, you can not include electrical lamps- enough natural lighting. At the same time, these walls are converted into an expressive decorative element of mild illumination.
Overpowering
Olga Kharchenko This brick Khrushchev is located not far from the center of Moscow. The initial layout of the two-room apartment did not endure any criticism, especially in today's standards. If there was no place to put a deep wardrobe for outerwear, two living rooms had unsuccessful proportions - 1: 2 and 1: 2.5 (and this is with a very small area).
Redevelopment work was carried out in accordance with the adopted standards, all actions were coordinated. At the expense of the corridor between the kitchen and the hallway to the bathroom managed to attach 1m2. Now she is in a pentagonal plan. The size of the hallway was calculated not only on the basis of today's needs of the hostess, but also taking into account the prospects for creating a family, when the time will come, a children's stroller will fit without difficulty. We built a small wardrobe from foam blocks. It is in absorption, it is a square with a side of 1.2m, from which the angle is cut off, and very roomy: there was enough space for outerwear, numerous pairs of shoes and household accessories: brushes, vacuum cleaner. The triangular niches that have built-in storage systems and mounted lockers, and in order to visually do not lose this zone, the open glass shelves are located between them. Large dressing rooms were arranged in the bedroom, behind the sliding doors. Its depth is 1,2m, width - 2.9m. Thus, in a small apartment, it is quite possible to provide enough places for storage.
The editors warns that in accordance with the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, the coordination of the conducted reorganization and redevelopment is required.
