Anyone who has ever dealt with the design of a newapartments, the pangs of choice are familiar: from the shape of the door handles to the concept as a whole. The team of Bakharev & Partners solved this problem simply - it presented customers with two completely different design projects of one penthouse. The developer of a new deluxe residential complex Knightsbridge Private Park asked Khamovniki. The projects were to be created in a classic and modern style. Since we are talking not just about apartments, but about elite penthouses, the potential buyers of which are sophisticated in design and demanding people, it was necessary to create interiors that were universal in terms of both planning and functional solutions. The Bakharev & Partners architectural bureau Nikita and Maria Bakharevs are the founders and architects of the Bakharev & Partners bureau. Both were born in Moscow and studied at the Moscow Architectural Institute, in 2003 they opened their own studio.

Thinking over the layout of the apartment, the architects of the bureaustarted from the idea that it should be suitable for a family with 1-2 children. Considering the importance of functional zoning, they decided to go the traditional way: entering an apartment, a person enters a single public area (hall, living room, dining room), next to a large kitchen and a guest bathroom. The master bedroom, bathroom and which form the private area are also quite close to the entrance, but at the same time isolated from the public areas. 
Modern version Children's rooms, office, moreone and a laundry room are located in the back of the apartment, which even has an additional entrance - so that maids and nannies can get inside without disturbing the owners. 
Classic version Maria Bakhareva, “Bakharev andpartners ": - We can say that both of these projects - firstly, the opportunity to see the same object in different styles (which is often the client needs to make a choice), secondly, our vision of the main trends in modern and classic interiors, and thirdly, a brand-oriented design that reflects our preferences today. Option number 1: modern style For the option of decorating an apartment in a modern style, the designers have chosen a colorful but elegant modern style based on Italian furniture Promemoria and Giorgetti. It was decided to focus on furniture in bright colors with a neutral background finish. The hall in this interior turned out to be very distinctive and eclectic, setting the tone for the entire atmosphere of the apartment. The floor is paved with slabs of marble, and the walls are covered with suede wallpaper: noble finishing materials are perfectly combined with bright color accents and furniture from Minotti and Promemoria factories. Well, the main character can rightfully be considered a mirror of impressive dimensions in a purple frame. 
The living-dining area is divided into two parts by a double-sided fireplace, the chimney is finished with an artistic textured glass Bernard Pictet, and the fireplace - the Italian massive stone Nero Portoro. 
The sofa band is formed by soft furnitureItalian producers with a coffee table Baxter in the center of the composition. The role of bright accents is performed by the colored armchairs Promemoria and the blue chandelier Barovier & Toso. 
For the kitchen designers came up with an interesting move: with the help of sliding partitions Longhi it can both open to the dining room, and "hide" when necessary. 
In the dining area there is a dininga large table for ten people, a grand piano in the bay window and a large textured picture with running water on the wall. The latter performs the role of both an art object and an air humidifier.

Option number 2:classic style The second project is made in modern classics and represents a respectable, relevant and convenient interior for today's life. According to Maria Bakhareva, she has always been close to the aesthetics of the Provasi factory, so she took it as the basis for the interior. Also, the classic forms acquire a modern sound due to the noble and tactilely pleasant texture of matt waxed oak. In the lobby, the floor is finished with slabs of Palissandro Oniciato marble, and boiserie wood panels are installed on the walls. The interior is complemented by Italian Oak furniture in a classic style and luxurious Saint-Louis chandeliers. 
As in the modern interior, the living roomand the dining room are zoned: in this case it is a small partition with a fireplace on one side, and a crystal and porcelain showcase on the other. The fireplace portal in the style of Louis XIV is made of gray Italian marble with bronze details of the furnace. 
The soft sofa group consists of furniture of the Provasi factory of calm tones, corresponding to the common beige-gray-white gamut of the living room. Crystal chandelier - Saint Louis.
