A small apartment in the residential complex "Symbol"

24.2 m²

About the project

The main task of an interior designer is to create a certain level of comfort.

Comfortable, functional, visually neutral, but not bland living space with competent zoning is the basis of the house.

It acquires a complete style in details that, like a perfectly fitting dress, transform and emphasize individuality.

Guided by these principles, I designed a cozy, fashionable and slightly daring solution for a small apartment of 24.2 m² in the residential complex "Symbol".

Photos of the project

The customer wanted to reflect the spirit of modernity in the interior and pay tribute to history, because her house is located in one of the oldest districts of Moscow — in Lefortovo.

So at the entrance to the apartment there was a portrait of General Franz Lefort in the Cubist style — it is executed in the main colors of the entire interior.

Therefore, the neoclassical style was taken as a basis, which fits into any project, whether it is a large ancestral nest outside the city or compact apartments in a megalopolis. A win-win option.

The picture with rushing Red Army soldiers continued this idea, dynamic, setting the pace. A provocative note was added to the overall sound by a picture with an extravagant life slogan of the customer.

Everything in this apartment reflects her character, her courage and her ability to erase any restrictions.

A bright hallway in the color of unripe figs, forming a color capsule, and a classic parquet "herringbone" on the floor.
Minimalistic black furniture and a pattern of noble marble in the decoration of the bathroom and kitchen panel.
Geometrically precise lines of lamps, the base of the Sovet coffee table twisted into a spiral and a chair that looks like it is preparing for takeoff — and rough carved wooden accessories, fresh flowers.
The slogan is a provocation on an exquisite Victorian chest of drawers Van room.

Harmony of opposites, peace and movement, living breathing.
Support this game and tease the exact black lines of pipes and thin legs of furniture accessories of broken shapes.
These are asymmetrical round Flos light sources in the sleeping area, like a crumbling Kdln floor lamp with white spheres-plafonds at the couch, a wall of "crumpled" thick glass block blurring the space.

An incredibly comfortable space has been created, the same level of comfort that you don’t notice. At the same time, there is literally everything in the minimal quadrature — a living room, a dining room, a bedroom, a kitchen and a spacious storage area.
