Looking at the interior of this undoubtedly masculine apartment, you can vividly imagine the character of its owner and guess the author’s handwriting of the architect who created it. Here an important measure has been observed between reasonable functionalism, without which modern housing with clear requirements for comfort is unthinkable, and styling ar-deko, seasoned with exotic items in African and Chinese styles. High ceilings and windows facing two sides, were the advantage of the apartment. Nevertheless, the work on the project began with the solution of difficult planning tasks. The configuration of the space consists of two rectangles turned at an angle to each other, and it was decided to level this up as much as possible. Deep loggias significantly reduced the amount of daylight penetrating through the windows, and the deaf internal partitions would exacerbate this drawback. Mikhail Dautov I had to look for techniques in which daylight would work as best as possible. Thus, large swing doors were invented, separating the private part of the apartment from the public.

Heavy doors, made according to the original design, by hand, from brass and faceted glass, became one of the landmarks of the apartment and a bright detail of style. ar-deko. The idea of ​​an open, studio space is embodied in the living-dining area, adjacent to the hall and kitchen. At the same time, the kitchen is divided into two parts by sliding wooden doors - open, located along the wall in the dining room, which is a storage system with a built-in refrigerator and coffee machine, and a small closed one - with a stove and sink.

In the interior of the living room, the main emphasis is on the decoration of the walls with embossed molded slabs of fireclay (clay), resembling stone tuff. This method of cladding was first used by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in the 30s mainly for the facades of houses. The image of this relief was made according to sketches. Mihaila Dautova. Декоративный эффект можно усилить с помощью подсветки. Project author постарался уйти от единого декора стен. Интерьер словно разобран по плоскостям с помощью отделок из разных материалов. Это по-другому раскрывает пространство, и оно перестает казаться замкнутым. Таким образом, в каждом помещении использованы два-три вида отделок. Приватная часть квартиры состоит из спальни, гардеробной и ванной комнаты, а также кабинета, который может использоваться как гостевая спальня. Для этих помещений выбраны мягкие цвета, фактуры, драпировки - все, чтобы создать спокойную и расслабленную атмосферу.

Project author Михаил Даутов: «Ar-deko - One of the latest styles, which at one time influenced all kinds of arts. Now he is experiencing a new wave of popularity and continues to please people with his respectability and decorativeness. But it makes no sense to thoroughly reproduce in the residential interior all its details. It is enough to use several characteristic design techniques or objects. Therefore, the style of this apartment can be called a memory of Art Deco. ”
