Konstantin Novikov: “The initial layout (open space) for a family with three children didn’t suit us or the customers. Therefore, we have developed a three-dimensional solution that provides for a clear division of space into public and private areas, and also streamlined it in terms of symmetry. The connecting link between the two parts of the apartment was a round hall, repeating the outlines of one of the external walls and located on the same axis. This is for architecture. Regarding the design solution, the interior is made in a very fashionable style today: modernized art deco in soft colors (gray, cold beige, pale green) and with a predominance of high-quality natural materials. ”

Konstantin Novikov and Andrey Yudin have designed several interiors for these customers, including a country house, a couple of apartments, an office. And, of course, long-term cooperation has further strengthened the confidence in them from customers. According to Konstantin, they thoroughly know what customers like and what their customers need, and they, in turn, are well aware of what the architects are capable of. From this it was easy and comfortable to work, and the end result is guaranteed in a certain sense. In terms of aesthetics, the owners prefer an emphasized modern style with an abundance of glass and metal. It is in this spirit that their office is located, located in a building on the embankment of the Neva. “However, what is good for office space is not always suitable for residential space,” notes Konstantin. “Especially when there are small children in the family.”

For the interior of a new city apartment, the architects chose a respectable style with ar-deco elements, and relied on natural materials. According to the observations of the authors of the project, the modern interpretation of Art-Deco is the currently leading style that sets the tone for the genre of an expensive, elite interior. In recent years, the city-planning and majestic in nature, the Art Deco style was completely “domesticated” and adapted to the dimensions of the city apartment, without losing its status and solidity. The arsenal of its artistic techniques, the variety of decor, as well as the commitment to natural materials, is a rich soil that allows architects to create unique and inimitable interiors. “Natural materials give a different quality of life, create a feeling of warm and cozy space,” explains Konstantin Novikov. “In this interior we relied exclusively on natural wood, leather, stone, glass and metal.”
