Two-bedroom apartment with a total area of 85 m2: a representative zone in lilac colors, a terracotta cabinet and semicircular partitions from glass blocks.
Which of us did not nod the words knowingly in unison from the "Irony of Fate" on the indistinguishability of streets, houses and even door locks?! Kschastina, time has been corrected and consciousness, and things. A modern approach to repair involves truly revolutionary changes. Disassembled partitions, punched bearing walls, the addiction and eccentrics of a particular person make it possible to build the space "of the sheet".
The apartment that will be discussed is not like others. It is located in a frame beef, with reinforced concrete floors, brick bearing walls and plaster partitions. The hosts accurately imagined what they need. Not litterny catalogs, they repelled from their own sensations and aesthetic requests. The opposite concept fell a color solution, and not a complex redevelopment. The space in 85m2 was combed, while retaining the initial structure of the apartment house of the late 70s. The image of the apartment was so clear that it was finished incredibly quickly: the repair and one - the assembly of furniture and minor finishes lasted. Accordingly, the cost of design work was 10%, and furniture-70% of the total renovation costs.
The principle of curved lines applied in the apartment required lectured forms of cabinets and sofas. Contacts helped with the Finnish factory, which performed the furniture exactly according to the sketches of the architect Jeanne Kirichek. The comprehensive supply of objects (including plumbing) has accelerated the process and reduced costs by 30%.
The owner of the apartment from the very beginning saw in shades of a lilac-reminder of spring and adolescence. The cabinet was created for the owner, the main color of which (brown) reflects the need for comfort, thoroughness and concentration. Incredibly, how exactly the colors of the owners are guessed. It is known that light and color change the space (for example, warm and dark visually reduces the volume).
The hostess chose the flickering of cold tones for the apartment, which remind of the sea air of the Baltic States, where she grown. It seems that this ice water and the salty wind blew birch and beech, and then the masters made furniture, work surfaces in the kitchen and cabinets on the balconies. "It turned out a fairy tale apartment. Sometimes it seems as if you are in a piece of ice or the kingdom of the Snow Queen," the author of the project smiles.
Not everyone will agree to life in lilac. This decision violates the usual idea of the cozy space, which assumes warm shades. The rostic lilac gradually blurs, turning into a smoky gray, and in the office connects with terracotta, peach and brown tones. Two loggias (tiles, walls) correspond to the same room with which they communicate. True, the color decision complicated the search for the material (for example, the lilac tiles had to be specifically ordered in Italy, as it was not suitable in Moscow). In the color of the son, only the details on a calm background of light furniture and walls are highlighted.
In the layout, preference was given to large volumes and expressive forms. Translucent design in the hallway, as an arrow pointer, invites you to the living room. Cylindrical partitions made of glass blocks rise to the ceiling with a stepped pattern, arrange spatial accents and determine the image of the apartment. To the wall turned out to be round, the glass blocks were laid with smooth rows, consistently increasing the angle of rotation of each next "column". The same partition is going to the living room, increasing the kitchen and creating the impression of a single space. The appearance of another curved plane at the end of the corridor is a mirror reflection of a glass wall in the hallway completes the theme.
According to the original sketch of the architect in the "Structural carpets", an unusual carpet of oval shape (34m) was created. This is an American version of the woven canvas for which long-circuit wool is used. Its convex structure gives rise to an unexpected, almost living sensation of real colors, the largest of which is 1.5 m in diameter. The carpet is very dense and, probably, unusually durable.
The entrance zone is naturally planned and very convenient, on which you first do not pay attention: after all, it can be. Its form is close to the ideal-almost cube (to consolidate psychologists, a room that has the proportions of the Cuba, most comfortable for a person).
The hallway is well lit due to the fact that the light penetrates through the glass partition and the kitchen sliding window. The hostess will appreciate this find, because the purchases brought can be immediately put on the table by the window from the kitchen.
For the main place in the apartment traditionally, "fight" the kitchen and the living room (Aza Center life of the family-dining table and a sofa in front of the TV). Although it is often distinguished for the dining room its own premises, the kitchen does not give its position and still remains a favorite meeting place. I want to pay tribute to the architect's courage: so, the usual for the bath and bedrooms, the use of rubber and mirror ceilings has found unexpected and original use in the kitchen-dining room.
Initially a narrow living room with a length of 6m with a low ceiling (2.75m) resembled the car. To knock down this association and visually increase the height, in the plasterboard ceiling made a circular recess (2M diameter), the so-called "ceiling", in the center of which is located the lustration of chromed tubes. During the work there were difficulties due to poor-quality ceiling plates of overlapping. The height difference reached 5cm! Since the slope was too large, for alignment instead of plaster I had to use plasterboard sheets.
Undoubtedly, the hallway and the living room is the face of the apartment. But in the general mood, a corridor has an important meaning. The journey through it resembles a gliding on an ice hill: pushed out of a narrow mirror at the entrance door, and beget, without having a single acute angle, turned left and turned out to be in a modern youth interior. Computer, blinds, simple furniture-lowered atmosphere is remarkable at least in that it has no triste with a teenager.
Passing on, hardly someone will pay attention to the doors of the cabinets. In general, there are practically no cabinets in the apartment. Some thanks to the mirror sash seems to be dissolved in the corridor (the reception known and here used is very appropriate), others are put on the balconies in common between windows and doors. It is difficult to guess that somewhere there is an entrance to the "parallel" world.
The covers were sewed on the soft furniture of the living room: the colors of the shaken milk for the summer, lilac - for the winter. Curtains in the kitchen and living room are the same, light (German tulle), and in the fabric cabin tissue and heavy (American tapestry). The fabrics were ordered in the studio "Inter-Design" Lina Ortega, and "sheathed" the apartment model from the Interior Capris Design Bureau of Marina Kosygin.
Cabinet, world in the world. The clarity and functionality of this room are striking. Nothing, book racks, sliding secret, stands with deaf sash, table, chair. The symbolic arch and the change of textures separate the room in 22m2 into two functional zones: the office, the working angle and the bedroom (sofa sofa). Cabinets occupying the bulk of the library are stored more than 3000toms. It is not dominated by non-negative, but internal collens, not relaxation, but self-discipline. The interior of almost an English cabinet with a mandatory "globe" gives the desired feeling of inviolability. Warm color gamut, rhythmic drawing of wooden panels, solid furniture - all this seems borrowed from another era. Spiritual atmosphere- Watercolor, ethambi- provokes to contemplation and reflection. We admire the colors of exotic countries and carefully preserved relics. The large space of the Cabinet is beautiful thanks to the simplicity and abundance of wooden elements, such as nut furniture and a pale ceiling, assembled from ready-made veneered sheets. Vehonic universal room Light is concise and strict: in the recreation area - a lonely disk of the lamp and two sheds, in the working part of the built-in lamps.
So, in our apartment the main thing was the coloristic decision. Despite the fact that the "Royal Purple" is very complicated in the work (it is small than the choice of successful combinations, shades may change when changing lighting), it turned out an interior that distinguishes the grace and simplicity. The hosts and architect found a common language and achieved the desired effect unconventional for residential space. The color created a lightweight atmosphere and stressed the integrity of the style. It can be argued that the success of this project is concluded in the poeticization of life - this is the starting point for the flight of thought. So do not be afraid to experiment, reveal yourself, give the will of his fantasy, and then the interior will surely take place!

The apartment has windows manufactured on the Italian equipment by the Moscow company "Peregrist". At the time of repair, these were the cheapest and high-quality windows. To withstand the style, wooden frames made in the office, in the rest of the rooms - plastic.
The editors warns that in accordance with the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, the coordination of the conducted reorganization and redevelopment is required.
