Increasingly, the professional activities of people do not need office spaces and meeting rooms. More and more people prefer to work where it is convenient for them and when it is convenient. And not every person can now clearly define at what point the work ends and the rest begins. Perhaps now the conversation about home offices is the most relevant.

Offices, regardless of whether they are located in an office building or at home, perform three main functions. First, it is a workspace, and it must discipline and adjust to the business wave, as a suit or a uniform does. This is especially true in home offices and for people of creative professions, when wearing the costume is deliberately neglected. Secondly, the cabinet has representative functions. He more eloquently than many attributes of power and symbols of prestige, informs about the status of his master or hostess or his attitude to his status. And thirdly, the home office is a personal space for one person, where everything is arranged without regard to other family members, in a subjective manner and personal fashion.

The authors present their projects on this page:

Project author архитектор Julia Nesterova: “The interior of this male office is far from the classic stereotypes. Instead of the traditional boiserie on the walls, white wallpaper with a swarm of golden bees, drawn as if through a stencil, a small white stove, replaces the massive fireplace, and black furniture, complemented by gilded details, gives out the classicism and Empire. I wanted to emphasize lightness and comfort, as well as recreate the interior of the whole house, and in this room in particular, the spirit of the Russian manor.

Architect Evgeniy Polyantsev: “The office stands alone in the interior of the apartment. This is done consciously. The customer is keen on the culture of the East, and we tried to create this special atmosphere. Selected significant, from our point of view, features - colors (red, black) and expressive form (golden umbrellas). Umbrellas also act as reflectors, gently scattering streams of light directed at them. A desk, bookcases, as well as wall panels, are made according to our drawings by the company. EMMEMOBILI. Metal sheets are mounted in the panel, therefore with the help of magnetic card holders and engravings they are mounted at any point of the wall. Exquisite drawing of veneer panels, from the butt of the ash, adds additional complexity to the interior, reinforces the feeling of excessiveness to which we aspired. In general, the East has turned out through the prism of European culture. ”

Project author дизайнер Olga Kushnareva: “Our task was to create a completely classic and very British interior in the house. And for each room was chosen its own version of the English style. For example, in the design of this men's room were used the most traditional techniques. The panels and the built-in library are made of dark walnut. The walls are upholstered in plaid fabric. Of the furniture is a massive leather sofa, and on the floor is an antique carpet from the end of the 19th century. ”

Architect Valeria Preobrazhenskaya: “The aesthetics of the Russian avant-garde, and in particular the architects of Kazimir Malevich, became the source of inspiration for creating this interior. The office was conceived as the heart of an apartment, a closed personal area, not tied to the walls or window. It is located behind the black glossy glass in a freestanding three-dimensional design, the only one in the open space of the apartment. It combines white and black, form and emptiness, external and internal - the basic principles that formed the basis of the entire interior. "

Painter Peter Bragovsky: “One of the favorite places of the hostess in the house is an office with a large oak table and a library. The room is decorated in the same manner as the neighboring bedroom, and this underlines the personal character of the rooms. The same stucco, color design draperies, lamps. When finishing, only authentic ones were used. modern materials and equipment - stucco decoration, wood walls and ceilings, paper wallpaper, oak parquet. There is no modern piece of furniture or lighting in the apartment. Just like this apartment could be 100 years ago. And this is its uniqueness. ”

Project author Ekaterina Kupryashkina: “In the city apartment there was no possibility to make the study a separate room, so it became an organic continuation of the living room. But, nevertheless, the office is decorated according to all the rules of the genre. Desk - at the window. There is a solid, “professorial” sofa with leather trim and carving along the wall. Restrained gamma is built on a combination of white and brown colors ".
