And it makes the space an unmistakably recognizable piece of the Kartsev and Vishnepolskaya bureau. Because although the authors of Nekklyuziva and insist that the design of the cabin determined a set of random factors, they managed with this set of “accidents” in a very characteristic way. Here is a typical game with geometric forms for their objects, the ability to fit a massive form into a small space, a natural combination of seemingly incompatible textures and materials. The interior of the cabin is always multifunctional - this is a shop, a showroom, a meeting area, and a place for concentrated thinking. These functions are equal and therefore must be equally taken into account by the designer. The architects partly invented a new salon for themselves - they are old partners of Nekklyuziva, therefore the cabin ergonomics are not just thought out - it is verified by the experience of a seasoned consumer. Everything here - from the location of sources of natural light to the device of meeting areas - is intended for a professional, to whom space itself provides an opportunity for a balanced and comfortable choice.
