Buffet in inheritance

Repairs in a two-room apartment with a total area of ​​54 m2. Interior update in order to increase residential space without large-scale restructuring.

Visually, the hallway has doubled, and in fact fit here and the wardrobe (behind the mirror doors), and hanger, and a table, and on long shelves under the ceiling, library

Plan before reconstruction

Plan after reconstruction

In front of the bedroom zone, which is located behind this gas curtain, the glossy stretch ceiling of the living room ends and an element of the same country is installed from the same country

The location of all parts is accurately calculated, as is the place for the switch by the bed. And the Bed itself is the most, iron, "English", with classic nickel-plated balls. Sleep "at the wall" is more comfortable if the pads hang on it

White plasterboard niches were constructed under the kitchen ceiling. Their rear walls were covered with the same wallpaper as the walls - to visually not reduce the height of the ceiling. And the ceiling itself "flashed" by polyurethane moldings from ORAC Decor

Free space under the cooking panel is very convenient for the hostess. There are placed baskets with provisions. Hanging hung right on the ventilation box of the air duct turned out to be shortly. But most importantly, one and a half cubic meter of workplace, which are beautifully separated by ceramic tiles along the floor and walls. Instead of doors - wide sliding vertical blinds

The abundance of places for storage and comfort of compact premises - the motto of this apartment. It applies to the bathroom. The folding door does not take away the space, and the curtain in front of her is rarely charming item

Sleeping, sofa, working area of ​​the teenager's room are located along the walls, and a light mobile wall with pockets for trifles and targets for darts can be installed and rotated as you like, as well as a portable "gym"

In the room of the son there is a "musical and sofa" zone - part of your own harmonious world. With the help of wallpaper with a variekrastructure pattern, exotic and dynamic wall collages are created here. The shelf "For storage of chests" stretches through the entire room

The owner of this room can cook lessons without getting out of bed - to its services a table on wheels

The shellage feeder for textbooks in the teenager's room decided to separate the self-adhesive film with images of bamboo stems - very happy and exquisite decorator idea!

The bath can be turned into a shower cabin, whether to make a round curtain on the steel "stems unfolding by fan, fortified on three long dowels

As you know, one who is familiar with the mystery of the fifth dimension can easily push the boundaries of the room to any limits. However, people are creative, deciding to improve their own housing conditions, are quite capable of do without sessions of black and white magic, resorting to redevelopment

Redevelopment (tasks and solutions)

Genuine time on the clock can be found, only looking at their reflection in the mirror. "The English province" begins with the hallway, the furniture, the "rare" phone, the matte glass of the door, all in the spirit of Agatha Christie wonders are not just possible, they are real. A family of three (parents and a teenage son) lives a width two-bedroom apartment - while nothing surprising. Now imagine that in this apartment with a total area of ​​54m2 there is a living room, bedroom of parents, son's room, sofa, kitchen, dining room, office, library, dressing room, gym, bathroom, toilet, laundry, hallway and even such an exotic area as "place For storage of chests. " Incredibly? In fact, the authors of the project cost without any magic: the idea was implemented using conventional zoning techniques.

The task that Lidia Elkina has set (architect and the owner of the apartment in one person), looked quite traditionally: an interior update in order to increase residential space without a large-scale restructuring. But joint family creativity led to the fact that there was a list that includes all of the above zones (they also dreamed of a room for home theater, the fireplace hall and Boudoire, but by reflection, they decided to do without frills). The choice of style also did not cause special problems. The kitchen buffet obtained inheritance determined the main stylistic line-country in the English spirit.

The design lasted on 21 days, repair- 3 months, and another 2 weeks left to choose and buying furniture. Agree, the deadlines are wonderful, the benefit of the coordination of the project with the owners in this case was not required.

Living room

Over the sofa area, a lounge-gloss stretch ceiling, reflecting the lights of wall lamps. The wall in this zone, "floral" wallpaper, is slightly thickened (5 cm) in a room of 17,6m2, it was possible to place the living room, the bedroom of the parents, the sofa and the office. The division into zones was carried out in witty and at the same time in traditional ways. For example, with the help of a multi-level ceiling. So, over the sofa (11.9m2), the ceiling was made by tensioning mirror. The solution is extremely successful: the mirror not only visually increases the size of the room, but also makes it really parade. The bedroom zone was allocated on the basis of considerations of expediency and functionality: the "bedroom" area, that is, the beds were folded with the bedside space - it turned out 3.8m2. A little bit, but the real buzz is measured in non-square meters. As for the Cabinet (2.55m2), then it was burned by the screen.

By producing simple calculations, it can be found out that in the amount of 11.9 (sofa) +3.8 (bedroom) +2.55 (cabinet) is not given 17,6m2, but ... 18.25m2. Where does it ask, take "extra" 0.65m2? Miracles again, at nothing, just, the cabinet and the bedroom are partially combined, and this common "transitional" zone is just 0.65m2- Such is "entertaining arithmetic."

Room Teenager

After moving away from this huge mirror in the hallway, we get into the room the Son - a special world, modern and dynamic. And behind the threshold there remains a touching and romantic atmosphere of a country with a wooden ottoman and a carved newsletter. The clock only in the mirror show the correct time the ability to pass through the walls, closed doors, mirrors and other observed observed obstacles from modern adolescents direct associations with a well-known literary character. Harry Potter and its relationship with space, of course, not an example for imitation, but ...

After repair and redevelopment, the son's room, which occupied 14.4 m2, decreased almost at 1m2. Loss is tangible, but inevitable, especially since the authors of the project came up with peculiar compensation. The corridor was equipped with a large wardrobe (2.65m in height and 0.7 m in depth), one of the mirror doors of which "part-time" became the front door of the teenager's room (the total length of the sliding system is 3.4 m). Due to this, in general, a simple reception, an ordinary effect turned into a fun adventure. However, the "territorial problem" still needed to decide with the smallest losses. Decided to remove all cabinets from the room, since they took the maximum area. Small things folded into ordinary plastic boxes, which put on the mezzanine (shelf from the wall to the wall immediately over the entrance to the room). The question is that better - 14.4m2, cluttered with furniture, or 13.5m2 almost without furniture, refers to the category of rhetorical. In the case, the winnings was indisputable because, abandoning the bulky furniture (wardrobes, racks of IT.P.), found a compact simulator.

Bathroom

A small toilet is equipped with a toilet, reinforced on an installation system, which is hidden along with a tank in a plasterboard box. The platform on it is used as a comfortable shelf. Water feed pipes are also hidden - in the second confridible box to pass "through the closet" by everyone without exception (undoubtedly, it is much more interesting for the banal door opening). So a wonderful idea was wanted to use for the bathroom. There was no apacol for suitable wardrobes, we decided to turn into a closet (at least visually) wall with doors in the bathroom and toilet. Implemented this as follows. After dismantling Santechkabina, the wall of the brick was erected not to the ceiling, but only to a height of 2.3m. On the remaining space, a long box of drywall was mounted on the side of the corridor, "a spacious shelf-mezzanine was formed, on which any things that are not particularly used are used. The resulting "wardrobe" structure (ordinary doors in it were replaced by folding type "book") and thereby became the "place for storing the chests", that is, boxes with things. This fact once again proves that an incredible fantasy may not be simply viable, but also completely justified from a functional point of view. One way or another, the goal was achieved in the best possible way.

Plumbing

The initial position of the risers did not change, and the Santechpribers left on the spot, so there was no need to lay new routes for sewage. It was necessary only to stretch the metal-plastic pipes to the heated towel rail, put a collector for the wiring of metal-plastic pipes by 7 consumers and mounted 2 water purification filters. Repair entrance installed a bath from Jacob Delafon (France) and a toilet from GROHE (Germany). Three heating radiator, which had occurred in the apartment, did not change themselves, they were only processed by sandpaper and were redesigned to two layers with a special heat-resistant paint for metal (Tikkurila).

Kitchen

Another zoning intake can be demonstrated on the example of the kitchen. The boundary between the working area (they form a plate, washing and refrigerator) and the dining room were designated using a peculiar carpet drawing laid out by ceramic tiles. The "technical equipment" of the kitchen was chosen pretty quickly: Liebherr refrigerator (Germany), Ardo (Italy), Fox hood (Italy) and washing machine Indesit (Italy).

Parishion

We have already touched a little planning to the hallway, telling about the device of a wonderful cabinet, passing through which you find yourself in a teenager's room. We add that the mirror doors visually expand the hallway and, which is very important, make it lighter. Another detail is the shelf for books located above the doors around the perimeter of the walls. This is the promised library (on 500 volumes) - you agree, an extremely significant example of an economical attitude towards space.

Floor

The coating of the boarding parquet plates was decided to preserve and only slightly renovate- complaining the irregularities and to put down. This step is absolutely thoughtful and correct, since the dismantling of the floor and the laying of the new material would cost much more expensive. On the son of the son, the hallway and in the kitchen laminate was put on the company PERGO (Sweden). In addition, complete with laminate and "in color" the plinth and transition profiles are offered to it, which is extremely convenient. Thus, they cost without dismantling the floor, and the additional coating provided good heat and sound insulation. The samples of this solution include only the fact that the height of the room has decreased somewhat. But the laminated floor covering, imitating parquet with decorative inserts, is beautiful and wear-resistant, which is very important for small apartments and small rooms.

Walls

All of the above transformations were held in the panel house of the P44 series, built in 1978. Bearing walls made of lightweight concrete 300mm thick and partitions made of solid gypsum concrete slabs (in the width of the room) with a thickness of 80mm. First of all, it was understood that to level the initially curved partition between the hallway and the son of the Son - in all respects an ungrateful occupation. It is easier and much cheaper to replace it with some new design. What successfully was done, because this design, by the lucky thought of the architect, became a large wardrobe.

Note that the walls were originally prepared for vinyl wallpaper, so all the surfaces were involved in align. But not entirely, but only by 40% - at the joints of walls with floor and ceiling, so that the plinth and the ceiling eaves are smoothly and tightly stood on the place. The reinforcing grid was decided not to be used, only at the final stage of the work was put on the entire plane of the walls a thin layer of putty. Thus, it was possible to significantly save on the main leveling mixture. The type of renovated walls with vinyl wall pasted on them turned out to be, as expected, aesthetically immaculate.

Ceiling

Before repairing the ceiling of reinforced concrete slabs without primer, wallpaper was saved. Having considered them, the ceilings began to align thoroughly: in the room of adolescent, under the wallpaper, and in the kitchen, in the bathroom, toilet and the hallway, for coloring. White, as we already know, on one part of the ceiling used the Tension French system from the PVC film (Barrisol), and on the otherwise, a laid construction of plasterboard, which not only gave the room an elegant and original look, but also got rid of the owners from expensive surface alignment . Plasterboard was covered (with sticking along the joints of the strips of thin glass windows), and the joints of the walls and the ceilings were closed with polyurethane eaves, then all this, ground, painted in 2 layers of the Evro 2 waterfront (Tikkurila). Consumption - 1 l per 8-10m2 (when painting in 2 layers). Also processed aligned ceilings in all other rooms.

New wiring

Replacing the electrical wiring is the question, according to the author of the project, principled. Old wiring, aluminum, eventually lost an insulating layer, and in general it is outdated in all articles. It was cut and partially removed, but partially left in the walls. All new wiring in the house made from a copper three-core wire (PVA). Since in the carrying walls, it is prohibited for wiring for wiring, they tried (mainly) to cut them into solo-concrete partitions. Also, the cable was paved under plinths and hid in the cavity of the tail and stretch ceilings, mounting the upper lighting.

In those carrier walls, where the outlets are installed in fifty centimeters from the floor, they still had to make short vertical shoes. From in order to put sockets on the plinths, - refused immediately.

Windows and doors

In the window openings, specialists from the domestic company Victory installed 3 windows based on Rehau profile (Germany) with double-chamber windows complete with window sills and lowers. The masters who made the work leveled the window slopes by closing them with French plastic panels. For the whole range of services, $ 2100 was paid (outside the window and the balcony door in the living room- $ 750, outside the window in the children's- $ 650, outside the window in the kitchen- $ 700). Interior doors also decided to replace and chose Italian, from Nusco (model Verona, light walnut, price 1 pc.- $ 250).

On the example of this project, you can see several typical methods of zoning space: a multi-level ceiling, partitions, screen, decorative elements. And yet the desired became valid not only with the help of professional skills, but also thanks to fantasy. Which, by and large, still refers to the discharge of miracles.
