"Since this apartment is not very big, I had the task to focus on recreation areas - the living room, dining room and bedroom - and at the same time reduce to the necessary minimum the economic part associated, for example, with cooking," the architect comments on the work on the object. The benefit of the apartment is located in the new building and when working on the space there was complete freedom of action. The public zone was conceived as open as possible.

A continuation of the black-and-white theme in the private part of the apartment was a large bathroom, the walls of which are decorated with panels of black and white mosaic with antique motifs. Soft undertones from dark to light and smooth lines of a mosaic image tune in to the calm mood required in a bathroom. A classical chandelier completes the ensemble. According to the selection of furniture and color palette, the bedroom is designed quieter than the public zone. According to the architect, the bedroom wanted to make it softer and more erotic than the rest of the apartment's interior, therefore cyclamen-pink color scheme and an abundance of floral ornaments on the walls and in the carpet pattern were chosen. The overall mood of the interior was set by the furniture from
