This apartment in one of the modern residential complexes in Moscow in terms of resembles a half-open fan. The rounded outer and inner walls (the wide and narrow edges of the “fan”) are the facades with windows, and two straight walls form the side, i.e. inner, borders of space. The apartment has a deep front, so the authors of the project have planned the layout so that “distribute” natural light into residential premises - public and private areas, and service rooms (hallways, bathrooms, dressing rooms, hozkomnatu) should be placed where there is no natural light or there is very little of it. It turned out to be a dynamic layout, where living quarters are maximally divorced to the sides, so home entertainment can be built with a high degree of freedom.
The interior of the apartment is designed in a lightweight version of Art Deco, with the inclusion of elements of different classical styles. Bright, light spaces with a touch of calm bourgeois, discreet decor, clear lines of furniture, elegant lamps, natural materials - wood, leather, glass, pleasant to the touch texture of fabrics (Alcantara, silk, velvet). Such a mix is organic precisely for modern respectable classics.
Free style frames allowed to include items from different eras and styles in the interior. In the entrance hall of the visitor meets the avant-garde mirror in the glass non-arched frame of the famous Venetian factory
