Corner apartment without re-planning: repairs for 4 months

Can cutting edge functionalthe interior is organically to live in a neutral scale? How to make an apartment as comfortable as possible if redevelopment is prohibited? The architects of the za bor bureau tell about this and many other things, and we are looking at their new project of elite apartments. On account of za bor there are more than fifty completed projects. Their name does not seem frivolous to anyone, their style is recognizable: an abundance of architectural techniques, complex dynamic forms and exclusive furniture according to individual sketches. This time, a family approached the architects of the bureau with a corner apartment in a new building. Arseny Borisenko and Pyotr Zaitsev talk about how this complex and atypical project was born. Arseniy Borisenko and Pyotr Zaitsev, architects of the za bor bureau The za bor architectural bureau was founded in 2003 by Arseniy Borisenko and Petr Zaitsev. Both were born and raised in Moscow, studied at the Moscow Architectural Institute. Even at the institute, they began to engage in private projects, later they worked in several architectural workshops. Over the years, the bureau has implemented dozens of objects, including apartments, an office building, a cottage village and many offices. Among the clients are large businessmen and industrialists, companies Forward Media Group, "" and others. Zabor.net A three-room apartment on Leninsky Prospekt was created for a married couple with a child. The wishes were very different, among them - a lot of natural materials, in particular wood, and, of course, a sense of spaciousness. The main task of the project was to create such a space for living, which will not only please the owners aesthetically, but will also become a source of comfortable life and daily inspiration. The main difficulty of the project was thatInitially, the planning possibilities were limited - up to the point that it was impossible to change the layout of the premises and their purpose. In such conditions, the work of architects has essentially reduced to decorating, which is very uncommon for the bureau za bor. However, even in such conditions, customers' wishes wereAre taken into account: despite the hard zoning by bearing structures, the transition between the main zones was softened by wooden details in the living room. They also became a spectacular background for technology. In general, all spaces in the apartment were solved in a simple traditional key with the addition of some architectural details that made the interior complete, non-trivial and interesting. The central element of the living room was a complexA wall decorated with glass and wood, near which there is a media group with LED backlighting - the only color element in this monochrome interior. The wall is in close dialogue with the black and white kitchen, built on the contrasts of color and materials - black granite and light wooden facades. Between the two dark walls, visually expanding the space, a snow-white floor is made of travertine, reflecting the light of large windows. Because of this effect, it seems that the floor and the white corner sofa are illuminated from the inside. Arseny Borisenko and Pyotr Zaitsev, architects of the bureauza bor: - The logic of life in this project is extremely simple and traditional: directly behind a small entrance hall, separated from the living room (the main and only public area) by a glass partition, there begins a corridor connecting the private areas - a bedroom, a nursery and a large bathroom. As a color scheme, a neutral gamut was chosen, since it was assumed to use natural materials. LED backlights on the TV console and in the bathroom have become a striking element. Neutral colors and noble naturalMaterials were decided to dilute with light decorative accents - they were the famous Italian pottery Petracer's from the collection of Tango Rock. In the apartment it can be found not only in the bathroom, but also in the hallway and even in the bedroom. In addition, the picture is repeated on the glass in the bathroom and on the glass partitions between the living room and the hallway. So this decorative ornament tied the whole interior together, softened it and made it more inhabited. To enhance the decorative effect, customersPurchased brutal steel lamps. The chandelier was hung in the living room, and the bra - in the bedroom. Together they created a powerful contrast with a simple laconic atmosphere and a neutral color scheme, making the interior alive and filling it with light in every sense. The repair lasted about 4 months. When creating the interior were used: Living room + dining room + kitchen
