It was originally planned to create a concise and quiet apartment, almost in the spirit of minimalism. But in the course of the work it turned out that the customer, who took an active part in the process, is not indifferent to the art deco style. So in the design of the interior gradually began to show the motives of this style. "It was assumed that the apartment will be modern, with all that is understood by this definition, - says Igor Sushkov. - Simple shapes, local colors, natural materials. But, on the other hand, if we limit ourselves only to this, the interior threatens to become solid, homogeneous, but ... boring. So, in order for the space to play, they began to introduce elements of a wide variety of styles, above all, Art Deco, loved by the customer. The result was a slightly eclectic interior with a slope in Art Deco and interspersed with classics. ”Indeed, in the dining room, next to a table of restrained shapes and colors, a bright chandelier with allusions to the classics hangs, and a hall with many high-tech glass and metal decorates the mirror in gilded carved frame and classic Murano glass sconces. If in the main rooms there are only Art Deco motifs, then the bedroom is practically the standard of style, gold in contrasting combination with burgundy, geometric patterns and stylized furniture are complementary picture.

Bedroom - the only room of the apartment, sustained in bright colors. In the remaining spaces, less active color solutions were used. “I wanted to create a feeling of light and lightness, without losing the contrasting combinations. Therefore, there is a dark ribbon of the floor, and walls of muted brown color, and light furniture with“ blots ”on a brownish background, Igor smiles. And, of course, bright accents in the form of bar stools, lamps. But at the same time, we tried not to overdo it with contrasts - we didn’t want them to prevent the general, rather calm mood. "

When you enter the apartment, an unusual undulating surface immediately attracts attention - a bend of the wall that leads from the hallway through the public area (living room, dining room, kitchen) to the bedroom. On the one hand, this bend is a technical necessity: thanks to the undulating form, a niche is formed in which the cabinet is located. On the other hand, this architectural element carries an aesthetic load. “This bend of the wall leads deep into space,” Igor explains. “It intrigues and entices.” To facilitate the space and create a feeling of spaciousness, the living room, dining room and kitchen are virtually separated from each other. Moreover, due to common design elements, which are duplicated in all three rooms (for example, due to inserts made of marble), one gets the impression of a solid space. They tried to make the kitchen a full participant in this suite of presentation rooms, it is located at the very beginning, on the podium with lower illumination, everything that happens in the main part of the apartment is viewed from it.

Igor believes that in any room there should be a lot of light, and this light should be different. "Light is one of the most important tools for the formation of a modern interior. Difficult, interesting, heterogeneous, functional and simply decorative - that's what the light should be," the architect asserts. And indeed, in all the rooms of this apartment, due to the abundance of the most varied in purpose, placement and shape of lamps, a variety of light scenarios can be played out.

Project author Igor Sushkov: "Much of this interior came in the process of work. That is, initially we had a certain idea about the apartment, very common. But the further we (we had a kind of creative conglomerate with the customer) advanced, the more refinements appeared, the related details that gradually resulted in a full-fledged result, to some extent even turned out to be a surprise for us. Initially, we wanted to get a modern, rather laconic apartment. But, on the other hand, homogeneity could seem fresh, and we would always They tried to get away from her in Art Deco, but somewhere even a little bit in the classics "
