The owners of this apartment are a creative and elegant couple. He is a successful businessman who has lived most of his life in Petersburg, she is a ballet dancer. Having decided to buy new apartments, they chose a house in the center of Moscow, with a quiet courtyard, so similar to the native St. Petersburg courtyards - "wells". It should be noted that the apartment is not the only one among customers. However, it was their first classic interior. The customers provided the architects of the Arkotek Bureau with complete creative freedom, although they set the general direction of design: an elegant classic in the spirit of an old-Moscow apartment from the beginning of the last century that would harmoniously look in the surrounding old building.

The apartment is located on the fourth floor, and the windows offer a beautiful view of the old Moscow. Despite the fact that from the very beginning there were a lot of planning options, a solution that fully satisfies the functional needs of the family was found rather quickly. As a result of the reconstruction, the space was divided into two parts. A public area combines a living room that combines the function of a home theater, as well as a kitchen-dining room. The private part includes a bedroom, bathrooms, dressing rooms, a laundry room, as well as two children's rooms.

The apartment was originally supposed to place a large collection of works by the artist Nikas Safronov, a close friend of the customer. Due to the fact that the paintings themselves are very bright and saturated, a single color range was adopted in all the rooms. The walls, painted in noble shades of gray, became an excellent background for the artist's paintings.

Practically all pieces of furniture (doors and portals, bookshelves, tables, armchairs, chairs, dressing rooms, and portals for fireplaces) are made according to the designs of architects. One of the largest Italian factories was chosen as a manufacturer - GIORGIO PIOTTO. Also, the craftsmen of the factory hand-made complex classic ornaments, invented by the authors specifically for this project. To accommodate a modern television plasma in a classic bedroom interior, the architects, together with engineers, developed and implemented a complex solution: they integrated the liquid crystal panel in the mirror above the fireplace. It becomes visible only when it is turned on, otherwise the design looks like an ordinary mirror.

Tatyana Korneeva: “Thanks to complete mutual understanding with customers, we were able not only to realize the idea as a whole, but also to develop each element in accordance with the general concept. There are almost no ready-made standard solutions: stucco moldings, portals, furniture, lamps, stone products made according to our sketches. We managed to create a complete, solid image of the apartment, which is convenient for life and functional. In such an interior, you can confidently add various decor items and works of art with minimal risk to destroy the image. ”
