Architect Boris Denisyuk, Buro5, created one of the most unusual projects for himself: an apartment with an open pipe system in a Moscow skyscraper.

The apartment is located in the multifunctional complex “IQ-quarter” - in one of the towers “Moscow-City”. On an area of ​​65 square meters. meters there is a kitchen-living room, an isolated bedroom, a bathroom and two storage rooms.

One of the main features of the space is the fire extinguishing system, mandatory for a skyscraper. Pipes with pressurized water and splinkers occupy a significant part of the ceiling. It is impossible to get rid of them; to hide is to sacrifice the height of the ceiling. They decided to turn the lack of an apartment into dignity: instead of trying to hide the fire extinguishing system, they took its image as the basis of the interior. And they extended additional pipes where they placed the lighting system.

Textured concrete, embossed glass in black metal frames, and velvety textiles were added to the pipes and panoramic windows reminiscent of the loft's style. In residential areas, the walls are painted white, in the kitchen and bathroom areas are finished with micro cement, as is the floor.

The wall between the living room and the bedroom was left untouched - the concrete surface serves as a backdrop for the active work of the artist Anatoly Akue, who began his career in 1997 with drawing graffiti. Another work of his authorship serves as a bright accent in an ascetic bedroom. According to Boris Denisyuk, art and lighting have become the most expensive elements of the entire project.

В проекте использовались светильники Pillar; сантехника ТОТО и Grohe; кухня, шкафы и перегородки Fun House Store; акустическая система Bang & Olufsen.
