Galaxy over the sofa

Combining single and two-bedroom apartment on the first floor of a new building. The resulting area (122 m2) was decided to arrange in the style of a country house.

The arcuate partition was laid out of foam blocks and sheed dryliton

Creating a semicircular sofa, first constructed a wooden frame, made up with thick plywood, and then ordered to furniture masters soft trim

Heat and glazed the loggia in the dining area, dismantled the old battery, and on the loggia installed a new electric radiator. The opening was slightly reduced by trimming drywall, but the arch, and a highlighted niche created

The kitchen room does not have the windows, so the input opening is made to it as wide as possible and glazed, so much light and from the dining room, and from the sofa area through the doors and glass blocks

The border between the hallway and the living room is expressed not only by changing the flooring, but also two freshwater aquariums, launched into curved partitions in the most narrow place of the corridor. The doors of the utility premises (wardrobe compartments and post-first) also go into the corridor. Wall paint and ceiling turned out in accurately according to the tone of the floor tile

Banquette for the hallway picked up according to floor tiles. Astive fish behind the glass corresponds to a picturesque marine landscape.

The kitchen is designed in such a way that its space can be both mobile fell apart from the canteen, and united with it. Abundant directional lighting of the working area of ​​the kitchen with four fluorescent day-spectrum luminaires (in addition to highlighting the exhaust umbrella) turned out to be absolutely necessary due to the lack of a window. Wooden furniture creates comfort, and the tile dissipates light

Decoration of kitchen walls, equipment parts and accessories are collected in an ensemble of brilliant, polished metal, light green-blue tile, plastic and artificial stone (Corian)

In the bedroom, two beautifully curved canopies were constructed. They descend from the ceiling along the walls and slightly resemble Eastern Baldakhins. This somewhat reduced the bedroom space, but in the niches of one of these plasterboard works, the internal block of the split system, and the LCD TV

The bedroom slightly reduced the ceiling level, but in the cavity, covered with plasterboard, organized horizontal niches - for reliable cornice under heavy silk curtains and for lilac fluorescent illumination

Insulated loggia in the bedroom will turn into a winter garden. It is also heated by electrical radiators.

To illuminate books on the shelves, the libraries bought a few scabs of such a design so that the lamps fit in a common and shone not in the eyes, but only on books

Little library can serve as a homemade cobblestone - the brackets for a retractable screen are mounted above the window, and under it- audio colors

Opposite the screen, under the ceiling above the sofa, the film projector, the wires from which will be hidden for drywall visor plasterboard

The side niches were separated by the same artificial stone from Kamrock, which decorates the living room wall. Water niche - shelves with books, in another- video tapes and toys

Children's divided into four bedroom zones, a cinema library, game and sports - thanks to the device of four symmetrical niches and the Swedish wall

Steel loops for cables with rings screwed to the plane of the overlap of anchor bolts, and wide openings cut into the drywall and closed with plastic lining. Soft chair- "pear", soft carpet, plastic furniture safe for a small child

The master's bathroom decorates a small mirror on the ceiling, a small LCD TV and a concrete washer

For the washing of legs and paws of domestic animals, a small tank was constructed (concrete, decorated with ceramic tiles) and led water to it

Plan before reorganization

Plan after reorganization

Combining single and two-bedroom apartments on the first floor of a new building, the owners of the received 122m2 began to reflect on how to embody their long-standing dream about a country house in the city interior. The owner, an environmental engineer helped the architect and builders with his professional knowledge. Adizainer, in addition to the magnificent bunks of an endless park outside the windows, presented the interior and stars, and stones, and vegetation, and reservoirs with fish.

On the floor, a parquet board from HARO Hamberger- three-layer finishing material (HDF-stove on a cork substrate, covered on top of another 3mm thick cork plug). The cork floor is glued covered with a protective composition of Biotec. The podium of the sofa area was crushed by soft carpet. The huge curtain is able to fully hide all this sofa uncerealization of redevelopment seeing as follows: the guest and private zones should be clearly separated from each other, the living-dining room must be made as spacious and cozy, it is also necessary to highlight individual rooms for the library and laundry. Huscing ideas from the owners was enough, but competently plan the room, not possessing special knowledge and skills, it turned out almost impossible. Therefore, the development of the project was commissioned a professional designer. The creation of a project from Vasily Antipova left a hundred and a half. Vitoga was chosen one of the proposed options, the most fully taking into account the wishes of the customer. For six months, builders from Komfotehech embodied the project to life. When working on interiors, the emphasis was placed on the use of the most modern and environmentally friendly construction and finishing materials, such as bulk floors, cork covers, seamless ceramic tiles, decorative decoration stone made of concrete, silk, woolen, linen fabrics.

Construction work began with dismantling partitions, cutting the new opening between apartments and creating rough floors. The slabs of the overlap lay unevenly, the differences reached 10 cm. Based on this, align the floors decided on dry technology Knauf (Russia).

Although bulk floors are 1.5-2 times more expensive at the cost of a concrete screed, they have undoubted advantages, since it is convenient for installation, durable, and most importantly, give a time gain. After all, with such technology (in contrast to a concrete tie), you do not need to wait twenty-eight days, during which the rough concrete floor will completely clarify.

First, the gaps between the ceiling plates were carefully embedded with cement-sandy mortar. Then, the base was reliably agitated, in two layers by coachuccular mastic FEIDAL (Russia). After drying it on the base, a decade-pothetimeter layer of fine-flow clay was poured over and, by raving it, two layers of gypsum-fiber plates (GWP) were put on top, firmly crossing them with glue and self-draws. After that, we took up the laying of the first floor. Home cinema demanded increased sound insulation, so before the finishing flooring on the GWP, the soundproofing material OL-K-30 / PO from Isover (Finland) was laid.

We have a traffic jam and live help

The owner of the apartment, an environmental engineer in the specialty, sought to repair eco-friendly construction and finishing materials. Therefore, when finishing the floor, the preference was given to the multilayer coating of Ronda from Haro (Germany). It consists of a cork substrate, waterproof HDF-plate and upper tube layer 3mm thick. The latter is protected by a special oil-wax coating Biotec containing only natural components. Tiles have a comfortable lock mount, the joints between them are not visible. Dullness, this is a three-layer parquet board with a working layer from a traffic jam. The only inconvenience in working with the material was that the deliveries had to wait for a half-month: in the warehouses of Moscow firms the right volume did not turn out. But time did not disappear in vain, it was used to decorate the walls, because on the floor assembled from the GWP it was immediately possible to walk.

If the floors were tested by the pigeons of blue and cream colors (tiles 4040cm) produced by Malaysia, in the kitchen-beige polished porcelain stonewlet (Cercom, Italy). The wedn room was used outdoor seamless (strictly calibrated) Ceramic tile of the Spanish company Zirconio, and the required comfort gauge gave the system (Spain).

Stone, Glass and Water

New partitions erected from foam blocks. This light porous material has become the main and for the design of two semi-colonges in the corridor, and for the fencing of the podium. In order to obtain the necessary semicircular shape, the foam concrete structures were first manually cut off with a hacksaw, then treated with a grinding machine and shuffled. For leveling of plaster, large patterns were used, carved for the desired dimensions from the plywood sheet. The spokest of the putty "Old LR" and Seetrock completed the stage of preparation of walls under the salary of wallpaper.

The columns that overlap are unlikely to decorate the hallway, so they were decided to close with curved partitions, and two large round-in-form aquarium were used as a "living" decor. They were installed in niches in which the electrical cable was pre-lined for highlighting fish and plants.

The materials for finishing walls were three forming textures: plasterboard, artificial stone and fliesline wallpaper, and graceful decorative notes introduced glass blocks. Most of the walls in the apartment of the Rasch Fliseline Oboya (Germany). They painted with Harmonia paint (Tinting G309) from Tikkurila (Finland). The calm light beige gamma clearly demanded contrasting color spots, and the almost smooth surface of the wall-expressive textured enclosures. Therefore, the necessary accents were placed with the help of a decorative stone "Rocky Mountain" from Kamrock (Russia). However, the desired color gamut managed to get not immediately, the selection of the tinting took a lot of time. Experienced samples were made by small parties: the pieces of different shape were cast from a concrete mix with various color additives. Then they were brought to the object and small sections of the walls were stuck, estimating the resulting effect. The desired reached only with the third attempt. A whole week has passed on the laying of a cloud solution, but with the help of a self-made device, invented by the Tile Brigade, it was possible to cope with this work.

For the facing of the kitchen "apron" bought a pale in the bed (1010cm), which looked very elected thanks to the drawings applied to it metallized paint. A bundled bathroom wall laid out a ceramic tiled of yellow and blue, in the bathroom and also ceramic, but seamless from Zirconio, for which it does not need scrap.

Symphony of plasterboard

Gypsum during wall decoration was used mainly to create complex architectural structures. So in a small in the area of ​​the parent bedroom, the owners wanted to visually expand the space, "dissolving" sharp corners. Single plasterboard sheets were built two semicircular canopies, the result was a rather complicated design with niches under TV and air conditioning. The Ivnutrine block of the multisplit air conditioning system, and the liquid crystal monitor of the TV is reinforced on the brackets, screwed to the foam concrete interior partition.

Special attention was paid to the ceilings when creating a design project. Entry room, they emphasize the features of the selected solution and give the completion of the entire composition. Multi-level structures are made of moisture-resistant drywall Knauf thickness 10 and 12.5 mm. The most interesting ceiling in the hallway, made in the form of a round slap, in which there are lamps of yellow and blue. A predetermined hallway theme of the circle continues the design of the ceiling in the living room, it is three-level, very complex shape. Plastic ceilings are inextricably linked with a light solution.

"I usually plan two or three branches of lighting. Each of them gives a sufficient amount of light, differently by the degree of brightness or color scheme," says Vasily Antipov. - For each branch, the corresponding ceiling geometry is developed. Since the chandeliers refused, we used two main. Lighting type: Spotlights that allocate a specific zone, and the Massive Suspension Bus ". Round upper lamp from the same collection decorates children's. AB Ceiling Parental Bedroom Made Two niches under narrow pink and blue neon lamps, in the form of strips located on both sides of the bed.

Electrical work

Electrotechnical work began with the calculation of power consumer loads. As we noted, the new housing was born from the association of two apartments. For each, two independent cables with three phases were allocated. This made it possible to evenly distribute the load. Number of automata- 32, trigger current - from 16 to 25a. The protective shutdown devices (ABV, Germany) also installed to prevent electrical shock in the "wet" zones. When all the wires were removed into corrugated hoses and shoes, began to mount the suspended ceilings and prepare them together with the walls under the finish. The last stage is the installation of electric machines, namely switches, sockets and regulators (everything from MERTEN, Germany).

"Despite the project thought out in all details and approved by the customer, the host during repairs were constantly born some new ideas that he expressed in the form of additional wishes to the amount of work already performed. Mostly it concerned the wiring, he recalled Alexey Kazakov, director The construction company "KOMFOTEH". - So there were additional point lamps. Then two not provided in the project highlighted niches were created and the home theater system was improved. But the main problem arose with the layout of television cables. The inhouse was assumed four TVs that needed to connect to two satellite Antennas. Initially, it was planned to do this with the help of four transiversers, but when the finishing works have already come to an end, television promotions have strongly recommended to use only two transceivers. The wiring scheme changed, but technologically made any changes were already late. Only thanks to Mast Erece and experience of our electrician managed to leave the position, and then when all the plasterboard structures under which the wires passed were mounted, the past and painted. "

Many technique has been installed: four internal units of the air-conditioning air conditioning Hitachi (Japan), home theater, mini-pool SPA and the Star Sky system. Delivery to the apartment of the last two, as well as a huge bathroom mirror was difficult, because these items did not pass through the entrance door. I had to dismantle one of the windows and expand the window to the window. (If the apartment was on the upper floors, without climbing equipment, the delivery of such equipment would not be possible.)

Instead of gazebo

When the first of the design projects was ready, the customer, having studied him, realized that in order to embody the ideas of a country house in a city apartment clearly lacking one element of rest. On the territory of the household site it is usually a gazebo or barbecue area. But how does such a gazebo "settle" in the apartment? Designer Vasily Antipov offered to visually and functionally divide the living room at the dining room and the sofic zone, lifting the last on the podium.

Achetoba Such a corner was truly cozy, it was offered from all sides to disperse a decorative wall. The idea was perceived positively, only one wishes of the owner were sounded, to give this zone a simple east flavor.

The height of the soft zone was "tied" to the threshold located at the balcony door. Initially, a decorative wall was built from foam blocks on a quarter of the circle. She was given the right cylindrical shape and crushed GNCs bent. For the finish painting, the same color was used as on the walls. Curved plinths, laminated under the wenge (to the tone of interior doors), completed the trim of the fence. Filling the podium the following. At first, a powerful, but light frame from well-dried pine bars with a cross section of 6060mm was created for this lengthy two-stage design. They were impregnated with antiseptic "Sezheng" of domestic production. (After such treatment with wooden parts hidden in poorly ventilated space of the podium, it does not threaten the appearance of mold, nor fungus, nor a change in air humidity.) Then in an empty frame cavity laid in the corrugated power supply hoses and antenna, coming from the shield to the Audiovideo system and further - Top, to the "Star Sky" system and ceiling lamps. After that, all the free space between the frames of the frame was covered with clay.

The next stage was the trimming of the podium and the steps of the thick 12 mm plywood, the base of the semicircular sofa was also prevented by the same later. He worked the finish of a layer of a shaggy carpet, which was glued to bilateral scotch, whose ribbons were crucified to the floor of the podium.

From a variety of owners offered in the store options, on the advice of the designer, a carpet with a long pile "Ice Paleces16" (USA) was chosen. Such a fastening technology allows, if necessary (alas, there is nothing eternal!) It is easy to replace the coverage. To do this, just unscrew the screws on the plinths , Remove them and served the coverage and, putting a new one, press it around the perimeter all the same plinths.

After laying the carpet, engaged in creating a sofa of the same semicircular form. Its foundation was performed from wooden bars and truncated plywood. The design strengthened tightly, although then it caused difficulties in the field of the sofa with a cloth. Only for the third time it was possible to make as they thought. It was very difficult to wrap the soft edges of the fabric and stuffing for tightly attached ribs of a wooden base of the sofa. Several times there was a desire to dismantle this design made on conscience. In this case, it would have to create anew, separately from the podium, to sneak and only then put in place and strengthen there. It would require new spending time and money that at the final stage of repair did not work in the owners' plans. Moreover, the technology and sequence of work was chosen by the masters themselves. Therefore, finding several new technological solutions, although it suffered, achieved the desired result. "If next time you have to design anything like that, the framework will need to be removed," said Alexey Cossacks. The rest corner turned out to be exquisitely stylish and very cozy, and the illusion of staying in nature was created using the starry sky. This system consists of a special light generator and light guides hidden under a large canvas. The effects of "Galaxy" were mounted on it, two "incident stars" and two "constellations".

Ana Eastern flavor of this zone hints and a long semicircular "Turkish" sofa, and a thick chiffon, flowing from a window cornice, like a foggy mirage, and a lazy curved line of arched niche. But the main thing is the deep dark blue artificial sky above the head, where, as if in a "thousand and one night", pearl constellations are burning and falling, like precious stones in the chest, fly and go over sparkling meteorites ...
