The architects of this project made an interior for a young family, but in addition to the wishes of the young owners, they also listened to the opinions of their parents. As a result, the apartment turned out to be universal - for all generations.

In order for the younger and older family members to like the interior, as well as to be comfortable and smart at the same time, the authors combined classical and modern design techniques. The style of the interior is classic - with stucco cornices, in columns, pilasters. The furniture is selected in several classic styles at once - there are also sofas in the spirit of French classicism, and Edwardian cabinets, and chairs in the style Louis XVI. But the mixing of epochs is not striking, because the whole situation is in one color range. This is a purely modern technique - free to use elements of different styles, but to combine this eclecticism with monochrome. So, in the living room, the main color is beige with splashes of gold and amber. In this range sustained almost the whole situation. Nothing draws attention to itself - there are no sharp contrasts, the interior serves as a calm background for the life of the owners. This calm and makes the apartment style universal, combines the tastes of different generations. Authors avoided fashionable design techniques specifically so that not a single element is out of date after a couple of seasons and the interior has long remained relevant and even timeless.

При спокойном классическом убранстве квартиры планировка у нее современная. Гостиная объединена с кухней и столовой. По сути, гостиная сделана как студия - единое пространство, в котором есть все для жизни. Зона столовой расположена в эркере и обозначена при помощи круглого "острова" на потолке. Кухня отделена от основного помещения узкой перегородкой, а ее потолок сделали ниже потолка гостиной, чтобы спрятать вентиляционное оборудование. А чтобы обыграть возникший из-за этого перепад уровней, между двумя зонами установили колонны - они словно поддерживают более низкий потолок кухни. Между in columns удачно разместился домашний кинотеатр.

A separate story - an office with a window into the living room. The original layout of the apartment was inconvenient - there simply wasn’t enough windows for the office. That the space was not deaf, they made a false glass that looks into the living room. This created the effect of theatrical scenery, which was emphasized with the help of characteristic English furniture. The bedroom used an atypical for this interior contrast solution: the general entourage is light and light, as in the living room, but the bed and the closet are dark and massive. And they added a non-classical fashionable detail - a cowhide carpet. Still, every rule should have exceptions, and the bedroom has become the most colorful and eclectic design place in the apartment.

Vladimir Notych: "It was necessary to make the interior respectable, but restrained and without pathos. It had to suit young owners, look modern and classic at the same time. Therefore, we made the interior light and solid, but with classical elements".
