Apartment (145 m2) in the architectural monument building. Wednesday determined the rules of the game: classic, and the classic is eclectic, multi-layered, multifaceted.
Odessa ... Babel and Zoshchenko city, Bersea and Rockov. Mixing languages and adverbs, which made the inimitable Odessa speak. Sea smell and port noise. Active-unique architecture, which made the features of different styles, ranging from the Italian Renaissance and ending with Russian classicism. On such fertile soil, the interior could not appear, impregnated with the spirit of the undersressed capital of the South.
Wednesday determines the rules of the game. In the current interior will be an alien alien who violates the harmony of the Old Quarter to the ultra-modern interior. Therefore, they stopped at the classics, and the classic of an eclectic, multi-layered, multifaceted, as well as the Motley city, which grew up from the interaction of some contradictory crops. French sophistication, Italian Sibertism, English Romanticism perfectly get along in an apartment enriching and complementing each other. Transitions are practically imperceptible - different styles organically woven into the common canvas of the design.
"Customers wanted the interior to match the image of a house with a history in which many generations of people lived and where family relics were kept. Some kind of" professorship "or" writing "apartment, where every thing has its own past. Worth of the time it was necessary to show some flexibility. , Saving the opportunity for the development of the interior in the future. In order for new items brought from travel, as well as antiques and photographs could find a worthy place here, "says the architect Tatyana Sleinskaya.
The initial design data was complicated, but interesting. Recent communal with long corridors and dark snacks. Transverse system of bearing walls, excluding the possibility of global transformations. Autonomous boiler heating. Low ceilings. Wooden overlaps. Walls isolated from the bustker blocks. The impressive sizes of the foil and laundry - "black" premises of the bourgeois house of the year before last was simply necessary to transform under modern needs. In a word, the dwelling was a combination of a romantic atmosphere and technical and planning difficulties that had to overcome the architect and builders.
The initial layout as a whole was preserved. First, she basically sat the owners. Secondly, the location of the supporting structures did not mean a special expanser for fantasy.
Capital walls practically did not touch: their respectable age and the degree of wear was called the possibility of any experiments. After the layer of old plaster was removed, numerous cracks were discovered. The inspection of the house showed that the fault was removed from the part of the carrier wall below, produced in Soviet times, without any engineering calculations and permits. Therefore, on the site to the left of the entrance to the apartment, the wall had to be strengthened with metal reinforcement. The technology was used quite complicated. First, the opening was supported by a temporary design. Then, the walls were performed in the wall, in which carrying metal beams were bent. They combined with a welded iron rod. After the revenue was ready, temporary supports were removed and carried out work on wall decoration: put a putty and plaster.
Strengthening the walls made it possible to transfer several doorways. In the kitchen and in the nursery, it was caused by the need to "hide" the area for the office - the location of the entrances to the room prevented it. The existing discharge left a too big "dead zone" by the window. The opening was laid out, the new staged at the opposite end of the wall. Thus, the zoning of the bedroom has become noticeably more rational: the cabinets along the far border, the bed in the center and the dressing table with a mirror in the most illuminated part. Away a niche of the ex-input successfully settled TV.
In place of the furnace equipped the cabinets of the room are sufficient for work and secluded reflections. The only significant lack of room is a complete absence of natural lighting. However, the owner is ready to put up with it, because he spends in the office only a small part of his time. In addition, the room is arranged a light ceiling, imitating a transparent roof that misses daylight.
The living room was combined with a previously existing branch of the corridor, having demolished a non-vacation partition. At the place of the laundry, there was a luxurious bathroom, on the site of the bathroom - one more, smaller. In the kitchen, there was a place for a gas heating boiler and a small pantry, leaning household details for plasterboard walls and reagreeing the entrance to the utility room with bamboo blinds.
On this, strictly speaking, redevelopment and ended. Ahead was the next, more exciting and exciting stage of work - the creation of a romantic-aged apartment image by means of architecture and design.
The hallway opens the topic of eclecticism. The stained steel lantern on the ceiling is associated with the art of modern, and baubles and decorative elements with a colonial style. The palette of warm shades emphasizes the open, hospitable nature of the housing. It was not without technical innovations: sensors were installed in the hallway to move, as a result of which the light lamp is turned on by itself, barely someone will cross the threshold of the apartment.
The design of the living room most reminiscent of France. Noble "antique" furniture. Socket and classic lamp on the ceiling. Falling window drapets. Active use of natural materials, leather, and metal. Restrained color gamma, from milk, cream and light beige to a saturated brown. All this creates an atmosphere of solidity and respectability.
Upholstered furniture with colorful and striped covers makes a typical Odessa flavor to the interior. Immediately remember the "twelve chairs of work of the Gamba Master". Cheerful and slightly frivolous style - tribute to the cosmopolitis of the culture of the city-port. Italy, England, France - everything is mixed in this furniture and multiplied to southern warmth and hospitality.
Of course, a fireplace could not appear in the house with history. Its location was determined in advance: once there were furnaces destroyed after the revolution. Avota Search the image resulted in a long creative process. No ready-made option is from those that can be found in the market - the architect did not suit, they did not fit into the interior at all. Fireplace, which can be seen today in the apartment, combined from three English models and is made by special order. But the game cost the candle: "homely hearth" very organically looks in the living room, its dimensions, proportions and style are made ideal.
The importance of the cosamine of family traditions is emphasized by a drapeted light column, not reaching the ceiling. It denotes the site in front of it and sets the theme of smooth lines and curvilinear surfaces, which the oval carpet continues. In fact, the architectural miracle is the author's edge of production of one of the Italian design studios, created in a single copy, with marble bases, ceramic elements covered with gravel gold and flax lamp.
Kingdom Kingdom of French Country. It will not be an exaggeration to say that this room was used for cooking for centuries, long before the current reconstruction of the apartment. Therefore, before the architect initially, the task was set to give him the most "historical" appearance. Nostalgic notes arose immediately as soon as the ceiling beams appeared. The interior became similar to the kitchen of the French rural home, or on the port zucchini. This impression is complemented and perforated metal lamps ("Duršlagi", how they are lovingly called the owners), low hanging over the dining table. However, the foundation and heavyness of the interior details is only an illusion. Wooden beams are made of lightweight plastic. Inside the design of the lamps are built into: hidden illumination of beams visually increases the height of the ceiling. As for the "brass" lamps with "licenses" suspensions, then in fact they are very easy, practically weightless.
When choosing materials and technologies to finish the walls, I also had to take into account the age of the building. A variant with decorative plasters was rejected due to possible formation of cracks - this process was suspended by the reconstruction of the walls, but in the future it could hardly be fully controlled. At the same time, the stylistics of the apartment assumed some noble, exclusive solutions. The authors of the project managed to find wallpapers (Arte, Belgium), which carefully mask their essence - look like painting with a brush, then like silk, as cracked skin (depending on the collection).
The bedroom is located in the depths of the apartment and is isolated from other rooms - it can be accessed only from the living room. This gives the right to certain autonomy in choosing a design. The image of the room- and the boudoir, and the colonial-style colonial style with the "grandmother" furniture. When interior design, deliberately refused to be fashionable built-in cabinets with sliding flaps in favor of artificially made up drawers. The red tree in itself looks luxurious, and in combination with decorative elements from brass, rattan, snake and ostrich skin turns the illustration to the miracle, the preserved illustration for the previous, pre-revolutionary life.
Cabinet decor is maximally focused on the tastes of the host, former sailor. Marine themes are tactfully present in the design of furniture, built on a combination of wood and brass trim, as well as in the design of the ceiling with wooden lining.
One of the serious technical problems with which the architect had to face with the reconstruction of the apartment was the state of intergenerational floors. After opening the floors, it was found that they are wooden and have a greater degree of wear. From this point on, the work of the architect on the project was carried out in close cooperation with the designer. Calculations have shown that overlaps require gain. Theoretically existing wooden structures could be replaced with metal. However, the condition of the houses of the whole excluded this option - severe metal overlap would increase the load on the walls, which could lead to the formation of cracks and the subsequent destruction of the building. This reason forced to refuse from the screed during the flooring device: something more lighter was required. As a result, an original solution was found. First, the boards were fed to the beams of overlapping on both sides and the entire multi-layered "pie" was tightened by bolts. Then on top of the boards arranged "Black Paul" from two located cross-layers of plywood. It put a lightweight parquet from the plug - in all rooms, including the kitchen. The screed is made only in the bathrooms, where the floors are separated by ceramic tiles. But since the area of these sites is small, the static of the overlaps is not violated.
Children exceeds the bedroom of parents. Its layout and furniture selection confirm the famous Odessa hospitality. Although only one child in the family, its room is designed for two, the guest place is initially provided. The Alberto Salotti sofa is capable of transformation: converted both into a double bed and, if necessary, in two autonomous single beds.
Reconstruction required full replacement of engineering networks and equipment. Autonomous heating has retained, installing a new, modern cooker boiler in the kitchen. The double-circuit pendant boiler Dakon Czech production is designed for heating and preparation of hot water for an apartment with an area of up to 250m2. Sewer pipes stretched from one bathroom to another and kitchen. Initially, the option of laying engineering networks in separate attached boxes is more simple in implementation. But the architect did not want to break the purity of the style, and the communications were extended in the floor. Cold and hot water pipes laid in niches in the walls. Since the water supply in the city comes with interruptions, at the design stage, the possibility of water was covered with a tank with a connection to the water supply system on the antlesol over the bathroom. The design of the antlesole was calculated based on the weight of the full tank. To compensate for a decrease in the height, the premises staged a glossy stretch ceiling. Kslov, the stretch design is used in another bathroom. Thus, the problem of unplanned repairs in the future was solved in advance: if the neighbors will fill the bathroom on top, the ceiling will not suffer.
Simple and clear layout, the basis of which was set many years ago, does not leave opportunities for surprises. There are no unexpected turns, sharp angles, vertical movements, sharp changes in rhythm. But the apartment can not be called boring or monotonous. On the contrary, she constantly provides impressions. We are the merit of eclectics, its elements are applied in a rarity project successfully. There is a feeling that the "house with history" really hacked in many generations, each of which contributed to the interior design. Akline clock only fix the dimensional stroke of the time, which flows here with centuries.
A gift of fate
Fate rarely rewards us to unexpected gifts. Do not miss your chance to take advantage of the opportunity, this is the main problem. Often only after some time you understand what passed by you, what a blue bird almost turned out to be in your hands.
The repair process is not fundamentally different from the whole life as a whole. And the laws are the same, and it is necessary to catch good luck as diligently. Finding a suitable tile, and even on sale ... Only the uninitiated in the transformation of construction and finishing work this event may seem trivia.
Old Odessa Apartments at first presented her new owners and architect not the most pleasant surprises: cracks in the walls, weak floors and ancient communications. It would seem that the miracle did not have to wait. But, as in a fairy tale, an unexpected archaeological find largely determined the image of the apartment. Architect Tatyana Sleinskaya accidentally saw the preserved fragments of the old paintings of the former front door, when the battery was changed in the entrance: they remained an impaired plot and miraculously the surviving painting, real Venetian plaster with a plot pattern. They inspired the author of the project to continue the topic in the design of bathrooms.
To create authentic imitations, it was necessary to work hard as construction workers, they had a difficult task to prepare "canvas" and painting artists Natalia Popova and Andrei Krivorot - they painted the walls with plant ornaments on historical samples and rubbing, with the imitation of the half-brown frescoes affected . The decoration of some walls of both bathrooms is made using the technology of Venetian plaster. After putty and primers on the walls, translucent-transparent lesing layers of water-soluble paint Uchik were repeatedly applied, which gave the effect of "ancient, almost eraser" paintings.
The editors warns that in accordance with the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, the coordination of the conducted reorganization and redevelopment is required.
