Behind the glass walls there is a breathtaking view of Moscow. Cityscape is an important part of this bright, catchy interior.

Directly from the entrance hall of the apartment there is a view of the gilded column, to the left of which is a group of upholstered furniture, to the right is the dining group. Other rooms, including the bedroom, guest room, living room and dining room-kitchen, are fanned around the central zone. All rooms are open and "pulled down" to the center, to the "golden" column. And behind the continuous glazing of the walls, as if in continuation of the interior theme, Moscow spaces unfold.

On the plan, the outline of this apartment resembles an arrowhead. All "sides" - with a continuous glazing. In the middle - the carrier column. It was impossible to remove it. “Well, if you can’t remove it, we’ll make it the main trump card of this space, we decided,” says one of the project’s authors, the decorator. Vadim Vyaltsev. - Let's transform the bearing structure into an art object, and all the rooms will be unrolled like a fan around this “rod”.

The customer liked the idea. He just wanted unusual solutions: an apartment in such a house and with such views should correspond to them. He wanted her to resemble fashionable New York apartments in spirit. But at the same time the customer did not want a typical American interior in the style ar-dekonor minimalism. On the contrary, he imagined "anti-minimalism". The authors of the project reflected: “If you accept the American ar-deko for the point of reference and move further in the direction of enhancing all sorts of interior effects, then we come to kitsch. ” Separate techniques from the arsenal of this style are used in this interior, for example exaggeration, redundancy. The interior is conceived as multi-layered, and the “layers” unfold gradually. At first, gilding, mirrors, black and white tiles, deep red color of walls and tall, almost human height, chandeliers made of polished metal attract attention. Then - noble wood, marble mosaic, designer furniture, pleasant to the touch textures - fur and silk. Another “layer” is views outside the windows. An interesting compositional technique was used in the bedroom: here, a visual "point of reference" is a photograph of Jean-Baptiste Uin. In the role of the mat for it is a partition, similar to a huge sheet of paper ... This is a repetition of the main theme of the apartment: the central point and the space around it.

Project author Mikhail Gubakin: “Apartments overlooking the big city are a special genre. Here we applied win-win techniques. Such, for example, as a continuous glazing of walls in combination with open space. We twisted it around a massive "golden" column. This is the center of the whole composition, the zoning factor, and the art object. This interior is characterized by defiant luxury and subtle postmodern irony. ”
