Apartment for a young family
Area = 57 sq. m.
Year of implementation - 2020
This apartment in Moscow, which we designed for a media blogger, won the most prestigious residential interior award in Russia.
We transformed a standard 57-square-metre apartment into a functional and comfortable living space for a family of three and their two cats.
In addition to the basic areas — a bedroom, a children’s room, a kitchen-living room, and two bathrooms — the clients needed several extra zones: a bar counter, a fully equipped workspace, and several areas with large screens for creating media content at home. We managed to fit all of these functions into a relatively compact apartment and also added a full walk-in closet.
The interior is based on strict functional minimalism, a monochrome palette, and warm wood tones. The result is a restrained and calm space that encourages rest, focused work, and intellectual life.
The minimalism of this interior is built on individuality. All the furniture, except for the office chairs, was custom-made according to our sketches.
In the living room, the walls are finished with MDF panels in a gradient: from a dark graphite shade near the floor to the light grey tone of the concrete ceiling. Part of the wall system conceals spacious built-in wardrobes, while another section incorporates multi-level shelves for the cats.
The ceiling in the living room, kitchen, bar area, and bathrooms is finished with microcement. The Moru patterned glass partitions are made with tempered and laminated glass for safety reasons.
Throughout the project, we consistently followed the principles of ecological minimalism, using only natural materials: concrete, ceramics, metal, wood, and glass.
