Architects tell about their apartment project in the penthouse Дмandтрandй Кулandш and Anna Karpova.

Дмandтрandй Кулandш: This duplex apartment is located in the penthouse. Moreover, the lower level occupies a large part, and the upper one is a fully glazed volume the size of one room - there is an office. The project of the house itself largely determined the architectural and stylistic decision of the apartment. The fact is that the house is modern in its structure: the walls are almost everywhere glass, hence a lot of light; stunning panoramic views of Moscow from a bird's eye view ... In addition, with full glazing, you can close the windows with remote controlled blinds: you did not just make glass walls - and live as you wish. We tried to maximize the benefits of the project and create an adequate living environment. There was no difficulty in choosing a style: when a customer buys an apartment in such a house, this already means a certain willingness to live in an ultra-modern interior, and therefore we have not talked about classical historical styles from the very beginning.

Anna Karpova: Прand том что установка была создать andнтерьер в современном стandле, для нас было очень важно получandть теплый, псandхологandческand and зрandтельно комфортный семейный дом. Мы решandлand так: формы в andнтерьере нужно сделать полностью соответствующandмand объему, а цветовую гамму прandблandзandть к классandческой - спокойной, мягкой, натуральной, прandвычной and прandятной для воспрandятandя. Комфортность прandдает также обandлandе прandродных матерandалов - дерево, камень, кожа, мягкandе фактуры тканей. Онand хорошо сочетаются с большandмand стекляннымand поверхностямand.

D.K .: The main thing in the interior is the combined space of the living room, fireplace, dining room and kitchen. Since the room is quite large, we symbolically divided it into functional parts with the help of glass screens - once, with the floor texture (stone, wood) - two, with a ceiling pattern - three, with color - four. Here are the basic planning techniques. On the one hand, these techniques allowed to “dismember” the space, give it multifunctionality and variety (just imagine a single-color uniform space of this size - you get something like a gym or an exhibition hangar). On the other hand, all elements of these functionally different zones are related by common themes. First of all, the connection is supported by materials and colors. It is non-standard, from the point of view that we usually use active colors. In this interior it is much warmer. All colors are muted. There is neither orange, nor red, nor burgundy. Not a single pure color. There are either maroon violet or soft shades of brown, beige ... If it is green, then it is not “hysterical”, herbal, but calm, in the autumn gamut. So if the forms are modern, dynamic, the colors, on the contrary, are as calm as possible, otherwise a sharp, radical interior would appear, striking the viewer. And the task to hit in no way was not. The number one object in this room is the fireplace. The first thing that sees a person entering the apartment is such a huge glass column. The impression is quite strong.

A.K .: Камandн - это правandльный центр. Это как у древнего человека: главное - очаг, огонь, у которого собandралась вся семья.

D.K .: Behind the fireplace is a dark wall of wenge, and in it a horizontally stretched glass “strip” is an aquarium. This whole undertaking is like a backdrop for the living room. If the wall had been made light, the space would have seemed endless, but we just wanted to limit its development, “put an end”. Since there are practically no walls as such - one glass, we materialized this wall.
