How to conveniently place 8 on 80 meterspeople, why do we need cool shades in the bedroom and how much can be squeezed into a 6-meter room - read in our new material This apartment has become the interior of the week largely due to the versatility of the ideas implemented in it. We all face the problem of placing sleeping places - in this interior they are solved with special grace. Natalia Guseva, architect Member of the International Union of Designers. In the late 90s, she created her own architectural and design bureau "KvARTa-eco". He actively cooperates with Italian designers and constructors. As required, she creates pieces of furniture and interior accessories herself. This apartment is located in the elite quarter of new condominiums on the outskirts of Barcelona. The owner of the apartment is a Russian who comes here to relax with her family. She had known the architect Natalia Guseva for a long time and had already done several interiors with her, so she decided not to take risks in Spain, but to invite her. 
Given that the family is of different ages, the architectimmediately divided the apartment into a residential and public area so that the area with the bedrooms was separated from the rest of the area by a door. Even if the living room is noisy - in the bedrooms this is not audible: "your" corridor and the door are pretty well isolate the sounds. 
In the family of the customer three children of school age,in addition to them often comes the eldest daughter with a child. That is, the apartment required a huge number of beds. As a result, now at 80 meters with comfort can sleep over at least eight people. 
A tiny office room, even for ourmalometrazhek - nonsense, because it is no more than 5-6 meters, what can be placed there? Natalia Guseva was able to squeeze into this space a narrow bed with a capacious storage system, a narrow secretor and a small chair. The walls were painted in a sky-blue color. By experience, we can say that this shade extends the space many times better than white. Now in the room, which is too small for storeroom, you can not only work, but also relax. 
"Adult" bedroom is painted in a deep shadethe evening sky, which happens in the autumn, when the lights are already lit, and in it there is warmth of violets. The wall is decorated with a typical Spanish accessory - fans, painted in different shades of blue, from turquoise to violet. The bedroom also has a nightstand, a table and a chest of drawers - all in the already mentioned shades of blue. The author of the project very much loves this color - it promotes a good sleep. 
Since customers come here only in a warmtime of the year, it was important for the bedroom to be rendered "cool" in order to have a rest from the heat even during the day. The baby is extremely functional - there is only a two-level bed, a chest of drawers and a table. 
The author tried to diversify the interior of the gamecolors - here you can find a variety of shades, from cream to ocher. The thing is that the landlady is a very cheerful person, and the world, and with it, perceives life through color. 
The alteration lasted about a month, another couple of weekswent for the purchase of furniture and accessories. Most of them were purchased in IKEA, the rest - rare antique finds and a few gizmos with national color. 
The result of the work done was an apartment,completely ready to receive a large family, in which everyone will find their own corner - all areas except the living room are ideally isolated. Even a tiny kitchenette, which seems to be part of the common area of the living-dining-kitchen-hallway, but separated from the living room by a partition, and a door leads here from the hallway: you closed it and that's it. photos provided by Natalia Guseva
