“The view from the windows of the apartment inspired us to create the concept of interior without borders,” says the architect.
Our customer is a modern business woman who lives a very busy life. Therefore, in her apartment, she wanted to create an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. The interior could not be overloaded with details and bright colors. Our idea was to link the inner space of the apartment as a whole with the outer space as seamlessly as possible. The use of white in the interior design is very conducive. White levels the boundaries and under the influence of natural light significantly changes its tone and saturation. In general, lighting, both natural and artificial, plays a key role here. To support the overall concept of the interior, we suggested decorating the living room with prints depicting the sky - in bright colors, full-wall. This is an important semantic accent. The built-in ceiling lights evenly fill the room with light, and the hidden cold illumination of the partitions with clouds reflects off the walls and gives soft reflexes throughout the room, simulating diffuse daylight.
We managed to create a complete, solid image of an apartment, which is also very convenient for life, functional. All cabinets here are white and glossy - the reflective properties of gloss make any object almost ethereal. In such a discreet interior in the future, you can confidently add various favorite items with minimal risk to destroy the image. "
