Open space, laconic forms and strict sustained colors have become an integral part of the projects ru.studio, headed by architect Andrey Rudakov. These parameters can serve as the basis for a wide variety of styles, in this case it is a style of comfort. Although the style of comfort is a concept that does not have a clear definition, this time the opinions of the customer and the architect were the same. Architects have long been attracted to work with simple shapes and spaces. And for the customer, MINOTTI furniture, its successful combination of functionality, style and convenience, became a model. The original layout of the apartment is 112 square meters. meters, which included a kitchen and three rooms, these qualities are not meant. The common space is not a universal solution, but in this case it was ideal because the apartment was intended for one person. The result obtained is most relevant to the modern lifestyle, its fast pace (you have everything at hand); at the same time, there is an opportunity for relaxation, a good rest with a cup of tea on the couch in front of the TV. A large company of guests will also be accommodated here. L-shaped layout of the apartment helps to preserve the privacy of the bedroom. It turned out two parts, which are united by a deaf wall painted under concrete. A row of lamps mounted into it sets the rhythm to the movement, and the wall, like the thread of Ariadne, leads you through the whole apartment from the entrance to the bedroom. Visually, a single public space also needed accents. The architects found the original solution. Instead of traditional partitions was proposed tabletop. Made of dark wood by the firm "Alexander Ney", it also marks the boundaries of the premises, and is a working area, replacing the office: on the shelves between the racks on which the tabletop is mounted, room equipment will be freely accommodated. Together, these subtle details set the necessary accents and create an individual style of the apartment.Andrey Rudakov: "The work was for us a continuation of experiments with a single space. In this case, everything turned out to be more complicated and interesting, since the small area of ​​the apartment created additional difficulties. The task was to make a simple and spacious interior. This style is by no means minimalism, but there is no nothing extra."
