What do you think should resemble a room that combines the functions of an office and a residential apartment? Maybe a tightly packed suitcase that holds everything you need for housing and for work, a sort of gentleman's set - from a toothbrush to a computer? The idea of ​​a universal office apartment is simple and beautiful, but it's probably not easy to bring it to life. The living part is as if hidden from prying eyes - a much more intimate and intimate atmosphere should reign in it. There are two bedrooms, a kitchen and a toilet room. Saffron color dominates the interior palette: the owner has admitted that he has a weakness for him. Warm orange tones are spread everywhere: on the built-in furniture, on the transom, on the decorative frames of the ceiling. Nooks where this golden glow does not penetrate are shrouded in soft saffron twilight. In the center of the composition is a living room. This is the link between the residential part and the office. On the one hand it adjoins the office of the head of the company. Behind him stretches a series of rooms, each of which has its own purpose in the daily activities of the office: a room for employees, a lounge, a meeting room. In this part of the apartment, everything is subject to the principle: a minimum of excess and maximum comfort. In an interior of representation of the Indian firm, it would seem, some elements of east exotic are pertinent. We catch, however, only a slight hint at one or another of national traditions. In general, restraint reigns in the apartment, corresponding to the modern ideas of business style.
