Ar-deko - a style that every practicing architect treats for himself in his own way. For one, this is American streamline-modern, for the other - French interior classics performed by Lalique and Rulman. Office Architects Alba Design decided to create an interior that does not have a clear national identity, embodying at the same time elegance and restraint

The owners of this apartment put three conditions in front of the architects: the layout should be as functional as possible, the decor should be low-key and in a good sense universal, and the color scheme should be calm and inviting to rest. Two bedrooms, a spacious dressing room, a living room with an invisible kitchen and a laconic entrance hall are the minimum necessary for a comfortable life for a couple. The grace of the layout and decor compensates for a relatively small area of ​​the premises. The interior is made in black and white, somewhat more contrasting than the usual golden brown palette. ar-deko, but the authors of the interior and the customers went consciously on such an experiment, so that the space looked graphic and reserved. Ivory wallpaper visually pushing the walls, and the glossy black lacquer on the floor reflects light, enhancing this effect.

The hallway is designed so that already from the entrance area of ​​the living room becomes visible. Their spaces are logically connected due to the rotation of the wall, which is part of the hall and living room at the same time. Baroque chest of drawers under a glass console FENDI CASA and the sofa group of the same brand adds a note of luxury to the entire public area. Silver pieces of furniture are combined with massive silver vases and shimmering initials of the FENDI House on velvet cushions. In this case, the tobacco-brown color of the sofas successfully rhymes with a hint of curtains and the color of the television console.

Having combined the kitchen and living room zones, the authors of the project applied a cunning move that makes the first one almost invisible: kitchen furniture BRUMMEL much more like windows and shelves than the kitchen in the usual sense of the word, and the built-in appliances and the hood, hidden in the bar, are not visible from the outside at all.

The master bedrooms, for all their similarities, are elusively read as masculine and feminine, respectively. This happens due to the use of more rigid geometric forms in the interior of the men's bedroom and a bit of a boudoir mood in the female, with its soft carpet, flowing lines of bedside tables and a glossy black wall behind the headboard.

From the actual decorative elements should be noted marble mosaic on the floor in the hallway and lacquered framed doors. All of them were made according to the sketches of the authors of the project in Italian factories. The walls of the apartment are decorated with photos of the owner, very well fit into the style of the house.

Elena Tokmacheva:"Based on the wishes of the owners, we chose the style ar-deko. This style is timeless and fashion, and today, as before, it combines the past and the future, the classics and the modern. ”
