The owners, a couple with an 8-year-old son, bought thisapartment on Bolshaya Gruzinskaya, falling in love with the chic windows and the view from them. A complete redevelopment was needed to meet the needs of the family. The owners wanted to see a kitchen that could be isolated from the living room, a living room/dining room, a children's room, a bedroom with a dressing room and a bathroom with a hammam, a guest bathroom and a fireplace. The apartment is located on the top floor of the building, so another wish - to make a real fireplace - was feasible.
The entire interior is done in calm tones.gray-white-milky tones. White marble, gray granite, mother-of-pearl mosaic and brass helped to create a stylish interior as close to nature as possible. Only in the children's room does a bright color and a panel on the wall appear, leading into a fantasy world, allowing the child to dream and grow.
The customers wanted a minimalist, butThis is an elegant interior, made in natural materials and colors. That is why there is so much wood in this project - oak, American walnut - both on the floor and on the walls.
The peculiarity of the old house is the “winter refrigerator”,It was turned into a feature, a wooden cube was designed for it near the window. This place became a favorite for the whole family. Now they often have breakfast here, comfortably sitting on the steps and enjoying the view from the window.
It is very difficult to create a minimalistspace, using only standard furniture. In order to fulfill all the wishes of the customers and at the same time maintain a minimalist architectural space, it is necessary to design the furniture independently according to the needs of the project. It was not possible to do without it in this case. According to the author's sketches, a minimalist armchair was designed in the fireplace area, as well as the fireplace itself. The cabinets in the hallway, children's room and guest bathroom were made to order.
The customers expressed a desire to make a kitchenmaximally closed and continuing the image of the living room. Therefore, the kitchen was chosen from the Stealth Kitchen model range. The set is completely closed with oak doors and hides the sink and work surface behind it. The bar counter in gray granite from Eggersmann creates a bright contrast against the background of the mother-of-pearl mosaic.
The living room is also a dining room.The central object of the dining group was a massive oak table from Cattelan Italia on a geometric metal base. In order not to obscure it from view, transparent Louis Ghost chairs from Kartell were chosen.
At the head of the table are chairs from Magis, Pina LowChair by Jaime Hayon. Their fine metal mesh echoes the metal in the table legs and creates a harmonious ensemble of materials. Opposite the deliberately low and massive sofa by Bonaldo is a comfortable coffee table by Draenert. In addition to this composition, a low armchair of unusual shape by Carl Hansen stands nearby.
The bedroom turned out to be small, soThe bed was custom-designed and made to hang on four cables. A light chair on legs in a deep blackberry color by Poltrona Frau, mirrors and a panel on the wall with a disappearing pattern as if in a haze visually increase the space.
In the nursery, the bright colours on the panels fly offsunbeams throughout the room - on the upholstery of the sofa from BoConcept, in the color of the pillows and the Ball Chair, appear in stripes on the Roman blinds and come together again in the colored glass of the chandelier from Bocci.
The guest bathroom was designed to be more brutal andslightly gloomy. The walls and floor are covered with waterproof Rezina by Gobbetto. A custom-designed cabinet with sliding doors, veneered in walnut, adds warmth to the room and boasts rich functionality. In keeping with this, the freestanding basin by Neutra is finished in the same style.
The master bathroom opposite is made very light,light and airy. 3D wave panels from Redlined, round sinks from Kohler with Arabic-style painting, a hammam lined with beige mosaics and white Carrara marble create a feeling of calm, elegance and lightness.
The walls of the living room and hallway are decorated withWall panels from Coswick - oak and American walnut. In the bedroom and in the children's room on the walls - panels according to an individual sketch. The fireplace is lined with metal from Based Upon, the coating - Arc Surface 01. On the other walls, paint from Sanderson was used.
Everywhere except the bathrooms, the same floor covering was used: solid brushed oak boards from Coswick.
This project was technically challenging, butfolded very easily and gracefully. The abundance of natural textures, the warmth of wood and the fine work of designers helped to create a natural and organic interior, surprisingly comfortable for living.
The kitchen, bedroom and master bathroom are equipped withdoors from Rimadesio - chosen for their minimalist and subtle design. In the hallway, the Filomuro Zero collection from Adielle is used, each door covered with special panels in accordance with the wall finish - suede, wood or paint from the RAL catalog.
