Cozy, free from useless objects anddecor, filled with natural harmony - this is how, according to designers from the architectural bureau Berphin Interior, the apartment of a person who is often away from home should look. The owner of this apartment lives in two countries: he works in London, but constantly flies to Moscow, where his girlfriend is waiting for him. The young man has very little free time, so he was able to participate in the creation of the interior of his own home only at the stage of project development, the responsibility for the implementation of which fell entirely on the fragile shoulders of two female designers from the architectural bureau Berphin Interior. Inna Tedzhoeva and Zina Broyan, designers Berphin Interior is engaged in architectural design, design and decoration of private and public interiors. The bureau was founded in Moscow in 2007 and specializes in creating exquisite, functional and ergonomic spaces using several styles. The founders of the bureau and the authors of the interiors are Inna Tedzhoeva (Details school, Moscow) and Zina Broyan (Istituto Marangoni, Paris). The European lifestyle could not but leave its mark on the aesthetic preferences of the apartment owner. Therefore, the designers suggested that he combine several interior styles most typical for Europe. The result was an original variation on the theme of Scandinavian minimalism and natural motifs with decorative inserts in the style of the sixties. Inna Tedzhoeva, designer: - When planning the apartment, we wanted to use every centimeter. It was decided to decorate the rooms in the style of European apartments - laconic, in pastel colors, using environmentally friendly materials.
The pace of life of a young man can beconfidently call crazy, so another natural solution for decorating the apartment was a limited range of furniture and decor items. Here is everything you need - and at the same time nothing extra. When choosing things, preference was given to more compact and functional ones. All the furniture is made in a modern style, but with a slight hint of the style of the sixties. Some of it was purchased in Moscow salons, and some was ordered in Italy. The designers chose products from leading European factories: Porada, Meridiani, Georgietti, BoConcept, Riva 1920.
Selection of natural colors andnatural materials was determined by the designers' desire to create a light, harmonious atmosphere in the apartment, in which it is easy to breathe. Hence the other obvious ecological notes in the interior: green mosaic in the bathrooms, toilets and bidets in the form of stones, bar stools made of a single piece of wood. The design of each room is aimed at "switching" the thoughts of the apartment's inhabitants from the frantic pace of the metropolis to leisurely and calm natural rhythms.
But while working on creating lightscenarios, the designers did not hold back. Their love for multi-level lighting definitely played a role here. In addition to the circular ceiling lighting in the bedroom, study and living room, there are quite a few table lamps in the interior, and there is also a floor lamp. The bathrooms are also beautifully lit: the light is above the mirrors, in the shower and above the bathtub. The lighting equipment was purchased in Moscow: BPM (Spain), Martini Light (Italy), BoConcept.
As for the layout, it is veryis practical and satisfies all the needs of a modern young couple (it's time to say that our hero's girlfriend also lives in this apartment). It has a spacious bedroom with an adjoining dressing room, a study, also with its own dressing room (really, why mix jeans and business suits), a very welcoming living room, an ergonomic kitchen and a small laundry room. In addition to the spacious living room, the owner's hospitality is confirmed by the presence of a guest bathroom. The project was completed within six months. Photographer: Sergey Ananyev
