Театр начинается с вешалки, а эта квартира - с длинного панно из уникальной коллекции камней разных эпох. "Мои заказчики привозят из разных стран древние аммониты, опалы, агаты, лазуриты, кальциты и пополняют ими свою коллекцию", - рассказывает Olga Stupenko All the stones are laid in a twelve-meter panel, located angle, one side of which goes into the living room, the other - in the hall. A frame made of ebony framing the composition is also a shelf. Below the wall is covered with panels covered with the skin of the monitor lizard. The ebony kitchen continues the theme of the exotic, which resembles a ship rather than a place for cooking. The boundaries of the kitchen, dining, living room areas are visually blurred. Thus, the space smoothly flows into the sofa area, ending with the glass plane of the bay window. In the evening, lamps hanging on barely noticeable cables create the illusion of a starry sky. There is a feeling that in the dark behind a glass stained glass window in front of the sofa you can see the quiet expanse of the ocean. The apartment is conventionally divided into two parts: the parent and the nursery. The first consists of a small living room, office, bedroom and bathroom. The second includes a large living room, children's bedrooms and bathrooms (separate for boys and girls). The compositional and semantic center of the apartment is the kitchen, stylish and functional. The apartment looks glamorous and natural at the same time. This effect is achieved through a combination of a fairly general neutral background and dark furniture, which is a good accent in space. The house is dominated by natural materials. They are different in texture, but perfectly complement each other. Combinations of smooth stone, fur, leather, textiles and rare wood look elegant and warm. The important role is played by lighting, which does not fill the whole space, but snatches out separate objects and zones, which creates a certain effect of theatricality. The main (common) light is neutral and plays a secondary role. All the decorative elements that make up the apartment, such as stones, exotic materials, and unusual architectural solutions, are in fact one large collection assembled for the most important thing - achieving harmony between the space and its inhabitants.Olga Stupenko: "I fully established mutual understanding with customers from the very beginning. They invited me to visit. I saw the apartment, felt the people living there. And it is perhaps the most important thing to feel the customer and create an environment in which he will be comfortable."
