Project of a three-room apartment The owners of thisapartments - avid travelers. Before settling in a new building on Tsvetnoy Boulevard, they traveled half the world, giving preference to Southeast Asia. The young couple came to their first meeting with architect Inna Rannak not empty-handed, but with a pile of albums on ethnic interiors and clearly formulated wishes... Already in the hall, the first associations with a bungalow somewhere on the ocean shore arise. Rough walls, snow-white pillows on a wooden bench, a mirror from India, batik from Bali, a warm wooden floor on which, it seems, you should walk barefoot, and only barefoot. Isn't this the perfect setting for a vacation? In the living room, the "tropical" mood is only gaining momentum. Everything here is somehow "not Moscow": mismatched windows, in some places rising to the ceiling, wooden blinds, light curtains and lace shadows creeping out from under carved wooden panels. The Filipina housekeeper wanders around the rooms like a shadow. She was just standing behind you, you turn around and she's gone without a trace. You completely forget that this is happening in the center of a metropolis. That's it! Throw down your suitcases. Everyone, get some rest!
Find ten differences
Living room interior is a good exercisefor attentiveness. Not everyone will notice that there are two different chandeliers hanging here. One is made of Murano glass. The second one has Swarovski pendants. And there are two different sofas: Maximedue and Magnum by Flexform. Both are white, both are Italian, they differ in the depth of the seat, the firmness of the mattress and the height of the back. It is convenient to climb onto one with your feet (the owner calls it "winter", because in winter you want to wrap yourself in a blanket and drown in a mountain of pillows). The second one is "summer", it provokes you to straighten your back and stretch your legs.
Appearance: Eastern European
«It was very important for me not to overdo it with"ethnic motifs," Inna notes. "I diluted the oriental flavor of the living room with Italian furniture. Authentic elements were adapted to the environment and subjected to technical refinement. Take, for example, the lamps standing on the console table in the living room. I attached a lampshade frame from IKEA to the base of the lamps from "Gallery O." and covered it with fabric from "Interiors of the Maharajas."
Latitude of views
«I always had a very clear idea"our future home," says the owner, "a huge wooden table (found in the Old Java salon), wide floorboards (30-centimeter oak boards, Nolte, bought in the "Parquet Hall"). In general, the wider the board, the more expensive it is, and the more likely it is that the wood will crack. However, we are calm about the second point."
We are closing!
Custom carved solid teak panelsin Thailand. "We waited a whole year for them," Inna recalls, "but they were worth it." This decorative element, by the way, has a very specific function: sliding panels hide the plasma panel of the home theater (Art Mechanic Group) from view. The design is based on sliding door fasteners (Bauklotz store). "The home theater attracts attention even when it is turned off. To avoid this misfortune, we hid the screen behind sliding panels made of teak."
Office games
Despite the cloudy weather, the officestriped by the sun's rays, and the gray Moscow sky outside the window seems bright blue. The optical illusion is skillfully modeled by the architect. This effect occurs due to the fact that the window opening is painted blue. It is echoed by the pendants on the German chandelier, Hans Kögl. The laconic fireplace portal (the "Fireplace Salon on the Garden Ring") is decorated with an olive-colored brass braid (sculptor Sergey Scala). The Bonaldo couch is from Nuovo Arturo. The bookcase is made by Konstantin Lebedev from tinted pine. All the carpets are brought from Spain. The teak doors are from Laurameroni (supplier - Union company).
Solemn reception
The hall in this apartment is slightly smaller in area.children's room. «It would seem that spending so many meters on a hallway is madness, – says the architect. – But in fact, it is the hallway that forms the first impression of the apartment, and it is known to be the strongest. And if we enter a closet, then the feeling of crampedness will not leave us even in the most spacious living room».
Complete isolation!
At the request of the hostess, the kitchen had to beisolated, and only isolated. After much research, a room without windows was carved out for her. However, their absence does not bother anyone. The Bretagna kitchen is from Bamax, the ceiling lights are from the Old Java salon. The rugs, laid out on the floor in bright "patches", are another element borrowed from traditional Asian interiors.
find me
Relief plaster and carved teak panelmake the entrance to the guest bathroom almost invisible. When closed, the door merges with the wall. The panel, like the frame for the mirror, was custom-made in Thailand. A Thai antique shell with dragons is embedded in the table from the Old Java salon. Rarely did a guest not puzzle the hosts with the question: "Where did you get this Gzhel from?" We don't know anything about Gzhel, but the black-and-white photographs were brought from the island of Barbados.
One to one
Carved panels and doors run like a leitmotif throughoutthroughout the interior. The mirror from the Old Java salon reflects the door of the dressing room adjoining the bedroom. Prometeo bed by Notteblu. Medusa chandelier by AV Mazzega.
We work undercover
The windows were covered with wooden blinds (company"Decor Studio" is not only to make the interior look like a bungalow. The owner does not like the view from the windows. "I love Moscow very much, but this city seems beautiful to me only from a pedestrian's point of view," she says. "The view of Moscow's rooftops and construction sites is terrible. I rarely go to the windows. I recently looked out and there was a collapse on Trubnaya." The total area of the apartment is 136 sq. m.
Artistic decoration of the walls: the company Finish Line. Construction: Inzhenergostroy.
