Architect Elena Dobrovolskaya знакома с хозяевами квартиры давно, но интерьер делала для них впервые. С одной стороны, заказчики полностью доверяют архитектору, с другой-это отличный повод создать что-то совершенно новое и для них непривычное. Тем более что эта городская квартира - жилье не постоянное. Скорее место, где можно остановиться на несколько дней, приехав по делам, окунуться в городскую жизнь и отдохнуть. Да-да, отдохнуть от ставшей привычной загородной жизни в большом доме с парадными классическими интерьерами и хлопотным хозяйством, которым вольно или невольно, но приходится управлять. Architect Elena Dobrovolskaya proposed a soft modern interior solution with classic elements, since in a bold minimalist interior, the adherents of the classics would live uncomfortably. After all, it was important to create an atmosphere of relaxation and pleasant pastime. And since the customers are people accustomed to luxury, beautiful things and prestigious brands, the interior was carefully selected, and only from furniture and accessories of “thoroughbred” and famous furniture factories, such as MINOTTI, BAXTER, FENDI, FORNASETTI.

"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 large part of it is the living room. A decorative wall on which from the living room there is a plasma panel and a home cinema, and on the opposite side, a laconic minimalist kitchen, separates the living room from the dining area. Following the principle of openness, the architect takes an extraordinary move and creates an office next to the dining room, fencing it off with transparent glass partitions, and only the bright green leaves of large domestic plants are the visible border of the zones.

The bedroom is located in the back of the apartment, next to the spacious bathroom. The spatial solution of this zone is also non-trivial. The bed is located at a separate small wall, headboard to the entrance, so that, waking up, you can admire the sunlight from large windows.

Black and white were chosen as the main color scheme - a combination typical of modern interiors. Color helped highlight the zoning of open space. Thus, according to the “positive-negative” principle, a black floor was made in the living room and a white sofa group was selected, in the dining area, the floor was white and the furniture was black. Monochrome and contrasting color scheme complement the bright red details, such as the luxurious, classical-shaped chandelier in the living room and sofa cushions.

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 FENDI in soft pink leather with mother of pearl effect. The bed with a high headboard, of course, the key figure of the luxurious ensemble, which very successfully complemented the black lacquer bureau table FORNASETTI.

Architectу удалось создать интерьер, в котором заказчики чувствуют себя легко и свободно. Elena Dobrovolskaya believes that the ability to understand customers, their priorities and mood allows you to create an organic interior (even in an unusual style for them). And the willingness of customers to experiment is a rarity, luxurious in modern times.

Elena Dobrovolskaya: "I was pleased to work with customers who were willing to go on an experiment, and I helped them to change their view of expensive and prestigious interiors, to move away from stereotypes. It was important for them to create an environment that would differ from their usual lifestyle but it would keep the main thing - the love of luxury. As a result, the resulting interior brought new colors and a new mood to the life of my customers "
