How to design an “elite interior” for rentrent? What can you save on and what can't you? How to properly plan a kitchen? How to make affordable furniture look like a million? The best aesthetic and engineering solutions for the most comfortable life - on the real example of Borisov Project Rational minimalism. This is the description that best suits this apartment. 240 meters of total area in an elite house. Moreover, "elite" in this space does not mean super-expensive elements or flashy finds, but rather the quality of life and exceptional convenience of daily use. The architectural bureau "Borisov Project" calls the customer of this project "serial" - this is a long-standing partner and like-minded person, with whom understanding is achieved without unnecessary words. Alexander Borisov, Director of Borisov Project LLC Graduate of the architectural faculty of VKTU (East Kazakhstan Technical University). Studied computer graphics in depth. In Moscow, he began collaborating with the elite furniture salon Indesign. And then he began working with the leading Russian architect Ivan Shalmin. In 2004, he founded his own studio, Borisov Project, which creates residential and public facilities. “Purity and conciseness of design” is how Borisov Project defines the meaning and purpose of its work. borisovpro.comLayout Apartment in a luxury new buildingThe architects received it as a blank sheet of paper, in other words, "bare concrete". The final version included three spacious rooms, a hall, a kitchen-dining room and two bathrooms. The ceilings, originally three meters high, dropped to an average of 2.8 meters due to the installation of the necessary equipment: supply and exhaust ventilation and an air conditioning system. In addition to a pleasant atmosphere in the house, supply and exhaust units significantly save electricity and reduce costs.Alexander Borisov, architect:"Correct", smart equipment in the house should work like climate control in a good car - clearly and silently. Well, if you live in a private house in a pine forest or in an apartment with windows overlooking a park - you can get by with traditional ventilation. But what if your windows look out onto Tverskaya or the third transport ring? Then you cannot do without good ventilation. borisovpro.comWorking at the Borisov Project company is alwaysstarts with calculations and measurements. If we are talking about a private house, then architects take into account in the project itself all the basic elements of both engineering systems and furniture - such as a kitchen, for example. It is impossible to do this in an apartment, but it is quite possible to immediately calculate all the seemingly obvious, but such sharp pitfalls that accompany any repair.Elite IKEA A shining example of rationalityapproach in this space is the kitchen. A minimalist and functional design with a large island and ideal proportions, actually comes from IKEA. But it has been considerably improved by experienced designers. The "secret of the company" is not so simple. The task is to fit the design into the given room in such a way as to accommodate proportionate and capacious multiple cabinets. Architects do not like small drawers that visually break up monolithic furniture.Alexander Borisov, architect:— We prefer to use modules at least 60 cm long, with pull-out modules on the lower tier. It looks beautiful and is very convenient to use — you can beautifully arrange everything you need there. In addition, the elongated, even shape looks more harmonious and balanced. The countertop was ordered separately. Thanks to the artificial stone and high-quality fittings, the kitchen furniture looks much more expensive than it actually is. Not to mention the convenience of seamless designs and laconic details. borisovpro.com Architects are convinced that one hood over the hob, even the most powerful one, is not enough for maximum comfort. There are also odors in the work area and near the sink. Therefore, they usually install two hoods on a standard design, which distribute the ventilation flow in the right directions. This approach provides convenience for all family members in open spaces — the living room does not turn into a kitchen, even if a dinner party is being prepared in the latter.Details Style and gloss are added to the spacelaconic but solid details, high-quality materials and clear geometric shapes. Even the switches, sensors and remote controls of the main systems are from the German company Jung — elegant, convenient rectangles made to last for decades. The oak floor and cork on the wall behind the TV are organic textures that add warmth and coziness to the interior. Alexander Borisov, architect: — When we work with a private client, our main task is . It doesn’t have to be super fashionable. A concept apartment, like a car at an exhibition, is good for parties, receptions and accommodating guests for a while. A home for the everyday life of a family should first of all be competently planned, because it is the layout of the space that sets the algorithm of life. borisovpro.com How to use IKEA kitchens in designer interiors.
