Want to see how you can create an apartment inin a modern minimalist style, while using materials and furniture from Russian manufacturers? Today you will witness how a three-room apartment, thanks to the efforts of a talented architect, turns into a customer's dream. The apartment we will talk about today is located in a monolithic building. Let us clarify that the customer works in aviation and is a modern, pedantic middle-aged man with a young wife and a small child. His wish was a minimalist design with oriental style accents. Initially, the budget was calculated very carefully, and each position was optimized. The architect Maria Amelin took on the implementation of the project. What she did, read on. Maria Amelin Maria Amelin graduated from the Moscow Architectural Institute, then worked at a design institute, was engaged in advertising and easel graphics. Since 2003, as a private architect, she has been designing and reconstructing private houses, designing interiors of houses and apartments, designing furniture for her projects. Works in different styles. Published in various interior magazines. Creative credo: functionality, good taste, constant contact with the customer and a lot of painstaking work with details. The architect decided to add a loggia, the existing glazing of which was made of single glass framed by metal structures. It was impossible to make these structures warm, so the glazing was dismantled, and inside, in front of the metal structures, it was decided to install double solid glass units. This greatly expanded the space and made it possible to make a dining area in the kitchen, and to place two work areas at once in the bedroom and on the loggia. Related articles
The solid wood floorboards flow smoothly onto the wallin the living room, forming a plane for the TV area. To the left of the TV area is a large composition of wall cabinets of different sizes and depths. Two of them have a mirrored back wall and lighting for the bar. The surface of the cabinets themselves is light, covered with glossy varnish. The niches are finished with natural veneer of the same shade as the floor and wall. And to the right of the TV is a pair of wall cabinets as an addition to create a complete interior composition. The living room has a complex shape, so instead of a chandelier, a luminous circle with LED backlighting was made, it is dimmable from the remote control. You can turn on only the outline of the circle, or you can make the entire plane glow. This circle caused us the greatest number of difficulties, but the result was worth it. This became the main "feature" of the project, the sun on the ceiling. Maria Amelin, architect

The kitchen is designed in a laconic style:Its lower cabinets are lacquered in a coffee-with-milk color, while the upper ones are made of white glass. The tabletop is made of artificial stone and is cut at an angle in the console part to emphasize the direction towards the dining area.
We managed to expand the bathrooms a little, which made it possiblethe possibility of placing a corner shower cabin in the guest bathroom, and in the bathroom to install a large bathtub and a shower cabin of a complex shape. The bathrooms are designed in neutral colors. The countertops are made of artificial stone. Both bathrooms have corner shower cabins.
The dressing room is intentionally made incorrectlyshapes, there are many drawers for linen, shelves for shoes and clothes hangers. In the hall, opposite the entrance door, there is a niche with a mirrored back wall, designed for placing plants.
