With the help of competent redevelopment and painstakingthe work of architects, the apartment in the "Stalin" building of the 50s has turned into a modern, comfortable and stylish living space for a young family. The owners of this three-room apartment are a young couple, both work in the field of finance. They asked the architectural firm to create a calm space with sophisticated neutral tint on the walls and warm color accents. The architects chose pearl gray, which is popular today, as a background shade, and they decided to dilute it with various variations of red and pink. The architectural bureau KYD BURO KYD BURO consists of four architects-designers: Pavel Kobets, Andrey Yankovsky, Dmitry Dubrovsky and Stanislav Klyatsky. Behind everyone has not only a serious specialized education, but also extensive experience in the design and implementation of residential and public interiors both in Russia and abroad. They consider their advantages to be healthy perfectionism, extensive experience and a wide geography of projects. www.kydburo.com Layout The architecture of the Stalinist building in which the apartment is located influenced the design and layout: the bureau team had to work with high ceilings, large windows, a long corridor and a load-bearing wall between the living room and the rest of the premises. A suite-type corridor was formed along the latter, from which you can get to the bedroom, study, bathroom and kitchen. Taking into account the wishes of the customers, the architects left the rooms isolated from each other, and the main dining group was taken out, placing a small breakfast table in the kitchen. 
Hallway In a small hallway, a wardrobe was placedtwo clothes rails at the top and drawers for shoes at the bottom. The façade was illuminated with two spotlights to emphasize its texture. A lantern was hung in the center of the hallway, which overlooks the enfilade of the corridor. The same lamp is located opposite - at the entrance to the bathroom. An electrical panel is hidden behind a hinged mirror in the frame, and a white and red bench is the only bright spot in this area. 
Architectural bureau KYD BURO:- Visually, we marked the hallway area with a floor covering - a "carpet" of cement tiles. The same tile, but in a different color scheme, is duplicated in the kitchen and consistently connects the space of the apartment. The design of the front of the built-in wardrobe repeats the pattern of the floor "carpet", only on a larger scale. Corridor Due to the design features of the house, the corridor turned out to be elongated and required visual techniques to reduce its length and height. For this, the architects used caissons and boiserie on the walls and painted them in a rather dense chocolate shade to visually reduce the height of the room. Also in this area, it was decided to keep the original brickwork and place photographs on its background. 
Living-dining room Public spaceconventionally divided into two functional areas: the dining room and the living room, which are delimited by a console with table lamps located behind the sofa. An additional zoning tool is framing on the walls. The dining area is represented by a dining table with seating for six, a console with drawers that is used to store cutlery and serving, and two symmetrical sideboards. In the recreation area there is a light sofa group with a transparent coffee table, and opposite, between two windows, there is a chest of drawers with media equipment. The interior of the living room is made in light pearl shades interspersed with pink and bright green. 
Kitchen The kitchen was designed in the American spirit:a light L-shaped set from floor to ceiling, a sink under the window and a worktop that continues the window sill, in which there is a grill for convection and revision of the radiator. To the right of the sink is a dishwasher, and even to the right is a small mono-temperature wine cabinet. The apron is crafted from custom-made glazed, handcrafted tiles, and the kitchen worktop has been tucked a little over it for practical reasons. Opposite the headset is a small dining group with an illuminated glass rack. 
Bedroom Since the bedroom is a chamber room anddesigned for relaxation, the architects chose a denser and deeper color scheme for it than for the rest of the rooms. the beds were accentuated and decorated with imitation of plastered bricks, which echoes the original masonry in the corridor. Against her background, there is a bedside table from the St. Petersburg company Rooma Design and a companion dressing table. A chest of drawers with a TV above it and a decorative lighting installation on the right were installed against the opposite wall. 
Bedside lamps are chosen in contrast tothe texture of the brick, and in the space of the "ears" of the bed were built sconces for reading. All lamps in the bedroom have a three-position inclusion, due to which each of the family members can turn off any of them with the key on their side. 
Architectural bureau KYD BURO: - There were no special difficulties in the design. They appeared more likely at the implementation stage in the search for suppliers and contractors for the manufacture of cabinet and free-standing furniture. So, the wardrobe with the coplanar opening system in the hall was opened in the process by the "accordion", and in the bedroom, due to the high cost of the hardware, the cabinet with the same system turned into a hinged cabinet.
