Usual new building in Kazan and apartment, which was urgently needed repair in time trouble and with a budget of 300 thousand rubles. Designer Ekaterina Savkina undertook to hold it in record time - in just 13 days. The owner gave the go-ahead for such a bold experiment, which started in September last year. 
Ekaterina Savkina Born in Kazan, now livesand works in Moscow. She studied at the School of Design "Details", now she is the art director of the popular and most practical program "Fazenda" on Channel One. He has been professionally engaged in design for 10 years, among other things, he is managing the Design Direction project - within the framework of it, an experiment was set up, which will be discussed below. The task was as follows: to make repairs as quickly as possible so that the apartment could be rented out, and at the same time fit into the amount of 300 thousand rubles. Some supplies of furniture were already available, but they also had to somehow fit into the interior. In August, the keys were received, measurements were made, and about a month was allocated for preparation. 
Preparation For a start, in Moscow were purchasedthe main accent materials: tiles, paint, boards and wallpaper, to which everything else was then selected - both textiles, and an assortment of furniture, and a kitchen. Plans for the arrangement of furniture were made, shopping lists were drawn up, terms were clearly calculated by day, a working team with a foreman was found. The materials had to be sent to the place of work in advance so that by the time of the start of the repair they were all available. Clarification of the editors: - The apartment was rented out for finishing, so the floor was already poured and the walls were plastered. If this had not been done, the repair would have been much more expensive. Related Articles
