A single clear image of how the interior should look in the spirit of Moscow antiquities, perhaps, does not exist. Yes, and the apartments in the old Moscow were not identical - all in different styles and manners. But of course, there was some kind of general spirit, and all this can still be caught and reproduced. Жанна Kochurova believes that now is the time of copyright, individual interpretations of this old Moscow spirit for each architect. It was with such installations that the authors began to work on the project - on the modern version of the traditional interior of the Moscow apartment building. Customers bought an apartment in the old Arbat lane, and they wanted to match the interior to the surrounding space so that the apartment was Moscow in spirit, as at the beginning of the last century.

Staromoskovskiy interior from Kochurova and Bullsа turned out to be very modern in ergonomics. Moscow is not a very cozy city, noisy, with a short summer, long winters and some endless interseason. And home conditions should compensate and correct all this. Therefore, they decided to concentrate the attributes of comfort, to make the apartment warm in all respects, and first of all, warm visually and mentally. To the owners lived here like cheese in oil. Above all, the role of oil was wood - the oak of its natural tone. Wooden portals, wall panels, cornices thicken the colors and sensations in the interior, the living and warm material really warms the heart. Again, the abundance of wooden finishes in the interior is historically a preference for Muscovites, an important part of the very tradition that the authors were guided by. Dense wallpapers with ornaments and rich color are also part of this tradition and another way to warm the space. And, of course, what a Moscow apartment without parquet and carpets ?! But the layout is not traditional, but quite modern. The apartment is divided into two main areas - public and private. On one side of the hall are the living room, dining room and study - public spaces. On the other hand, there is a separate private area: a bedroom, a nursery, a dressing room, and bathrooms. By the way, the hall is the key space of the apartment, it has a special decorative accent. Several doors come out here, and in order to make the space lighter and lighter, they are made of glass and decorated with silk curtains. And the main door leading to the living room was framed by the portal.

Public space is zoned unusually, as if by a ring. You can enter the living room, go through the dining room to the kitchen and go through the hall through it. The constants of this space are the fireplace in the living room and the portal to the entrance to the dining room. The passage between the living room and the dining room is made deliberately wide. With the help of curtains, these two zones can be separated from each other, but, on the contrary, one can create the impression of a single space.

The apartment in the Staromoskovski is a historically justified eclecticism. At the beginning of the twentieth century in the interiors of the emerging modern, Victorian style, elements of classicism. Even then it could not be called a classic style, however, for us now it is traditional. Architects Kochurova and Bulls characterize the style of their project as eclectic within the tradition. Someone this apartment will seem close to the samples of the Victorian style, someone will see here the early Russian modern ... The elements of both are here and work within the framework of a general concept. In addition, both styles are now relevant and fully comply with today's requirements.

Жанна Kochurova: “The idea of ​​tradition is interpreted through the identity of the architect. We definitely represented the interior tradition in the old style of Moscow. And what happened is our understanding of this tradition. Or rather, it is eclecticism within the tradition.”
