The reconstruction of the apartment with a total area of ​​225 square meters, located in the Kiev residential complex "Triumph", was aimed at planning separate rooms for four children of different ages and a bedroom for parents. Thus, on the plan, the architect cut off pieces of the territory from the spacious hall and the open guest zone.

The layout turned out to be cruciform: a longitudinal spatial axis resting on a rounded panoramic window forms a hall-living room bundle, and the transverse one forms a hall and children's bedrooms on the left and right of it. In the depths of the apartment are designed the parental room and another children's, as well as a guest area, including a kitchen-dining room and a living room with a sofa group. Usually ceremonial, common rooms seem to preface the interior, and private ones hide behind them, but in this case the author did otherwise. It can be assumed that the initial configuration of the dwelling pushed them towards making such a decision. Agree, it would be a mistake not to use one hundred percent large, panoramic window - the main source of daylight. In other words, the guest area, organized according to the loft principle, was formed under the influence of this bay window. “The residential complex is built on an elevation, and picturesque views are opened from the windows. The whole city is in full view, ”says the author Sergey Makhno. “Floor-to-ceiling glass allows you to get the most out of this location.”

The project in question has another feature. Customers were initially set up to furnish an apartment with furniture of an Italian company. TURRI, to the classic, good quality and manual production. Therefore, the space should also be classic. Sergey Makhno and defines the style of the interior: a modern classic with elements of several styles. In the space of the apartment, noble lacquered wood, gilding and magnificent textiles coexist with almost purist ceramic and stainless steel surfaces; complex cascade lamps are surrounded by "man-made" spots; living floral designs on wallpaper and furniture upholstery are aesthetically contrasted with embossed leather wall panels and a geometrically correct pattern of cushions with Chesterfield stitching. Especially carefully selected accessories - gilded dishes, silverware, household utensils.

“Customers targeted us to natural materials,” recalls Sergey Makhno. “That is why we used wood, marble (floor in the corridor and bathrooms), leather and environmentally friendly fabric.”

Project author, по его собственному признанию, не хотел загонять себя в рамки одного стиля. В своих творческих исканиях он двигался от функции к форме, от целесообразности к оригинальности, от универсальности к уникальности. Как показала практика, выбранный путь привел его к намеченной цели.

Project author Sergey Makhno: “I would call the style of this space a modern classic, suggesting a mixture of different styles. Hints on Art Deco, for example, are read in the silhouettes of chandeliers, in a number of accessories. However, the last thing I wanted was to design a so-called stylish interior. The main thing for the designer in this project was to prevent the flat space from overloading with bright details. And although the interior is gold and glossy surfaces, they look, I think, organically. At least I put maximum effort into this. ”
