The architecture of this house is a sample of Mediterranean style that has taken root in Moscow soil. Its main motive is a semicircular arch, which, according to the author of the interior Irina Melkovagave impetus to many decorative and spatial solutions

In the front area, which occupies the entire first floor, the main rooms - dining room, living room, kitchen - communicate freely with each other (this relationship is emphasized by the unity of decoration and the general color scheme), - says Irina Melkova. - There are no doors, except for bathrooms and walk-in closets. They are replaced by open arched openings or transparent sliding partitions, due to which interesting through connections are formed, one gets the impression that one space flows into another. It is this motif of flowing, as well as the theme of a flexible plastic line, set by the rhythm of through arches, and became the leitmotif of all interiors. Wavy shapes, semi-circles appeared in the decoration of the fireplace, and in the drawing of the living room ceiling, where the black glossy stretch ceilings and white drywall alternate, and in the elegant plastic of the staircase ... Matte wavy strips adorn the glass doors separating the kitchen from the hall. When you look through them through arched windows bay windowit seems that all the lines and shapes around you are curved, twisted, echoed.

The color scheme in all rooms remains restrained. In the front area it is a laconic combination of black, white and gray. True, in the neon lighting of the plafonds and in the painting masonry of mosaics there are reflections of green. But they are not out of the general monochrome context. But the color palette is everywhere enriched by the game of textures. For example, walls that look smooth in the distance or in dim light actually have a different texture (we used different types of plasters to finish them). And, say, in the decor of the fireplace several finishes are combined at once: a mosaic of glass for polished river pebbles, a multilayer coating imitating patinated steel, and a mix of mosaics from different collections BISAZZA.

The decorativeness of the interiors in general is abstract, abstract. There are no direct stylisations in it, no variations on the theme of the architecture of the past. As customers wanted, we created a modern, functional, not burdened with reminiscences interior. But the pathos of rationalism and straight lines, typical of modern style, we slightly weakened, brought down with picturesqueness, undulation of forms and the use of traditional tried and tested materials - stone, wood, ceramics, and pebble mosaics. Perhaps due to this a certain sybaritic spirit of the Mediterranean dwelling appeared in the house. And from this, it seems, he only won. "

Irina Melkova: "Customers wanted the interior to be modern, with a free layout, not overloaded with things and decor ... But they focused on originality, exclusivity in everything - from finishing to design of parts. So this project gave us ample opportunities for creative writing" .
