A large number of windows overlooking different sides - the dignity of the apartment. Lightweight tactile textile muffles daylight.

Fedor Katsuba designed an apartment in Moscow, in a house built over a hundred years ago. Rejecting the historical reconstruction, the designer focused on a reasonable layout and modern comfort.

By topic: The apartment of the architect Arseny Borisenko in the house of the XVIII century

Apartment area of ​​150 square meters. m is located in the center of Moscow. The house was built in the early twentieth century, but the interior has not retained traces of time. When the new owners acquired the property, standard repairs were made in it, and the former communal flat, divided into many rooms, was turned into an ordinary apartment for one family.

The main goal was, as the designer says, the struggle for volume and air. And she was successful: the apartment seems more than it actually is. At the same time, the internal partitions almost did not touch. “We added more than demolished,” says the author of the project. “However, I found it senseless to restore the lost stucco, convinced customers that minimalism is needed here.”

As a result, the redevelopment in the apartment formed three main parts: the front half, the master suite and the nursery. The location and role of the kitchen has changed dramatically: it has become the semantic center of the front half of the house, the living room with the dining room and the office are grouped around it.

From the left door leads to the hallway. With a height of 3.1 m, it reaches the ceiling. The crown is missing, so that the door in the closed state is almost invisible.

A large number of doors appeared in the open space. The designer managed to make them almost invisible, you can say secret, abandoning the trim and painting the canvas in the color of the walls. The doors to the nursery and the dressing room are of the usual size, and those that lead to the hallway and the bedroom are increased to 3.10 cm and reach the ceiling.

Another high door, but from glass, separates the office - thanks to the transparent glass, the room, although it is fenced off, is visually perceived as part of the open space. High doors form verticals that draw out horizontal space. The same purpose and serve the curtains, fastened as high as possible.

The private half is made up of a bedroom, dressing room and bathroom. The designer thought over the logistics: you get into the bathroom from the bedroom through the dressing room, from which, in turn, there is an exit to the kitchen.

Walk-in closets allow you to go around the apartment in a circle - it also influenced the perception of space, it seems more ambitious. A nursery with a play area, a bedroom and a bathroom does not look like a child’s room at all, it is designed for growth.

High ceiling height of 3.3 m allowed to place engineering communications. "The geometry of the ceiling is compositionally grouped to the center, this solution allowed to place ventilation and additional lighting in places invisible to the eyes between the ceiling and the wall."

The master bedroom is ascetic, but is full of tactile enveloping textures. Minotti bed from the Yang series by Rodolfo Dordoni.

As a result, the ceiling was lower. Fyodor Katsuba decided to balance his massiveness with solid furniture. The choice of the designer coincided with the preferences of the customers: “We settled on what we like - on the furniture of Minotti, we purchased a sofa from the Yang series of design by Rodolfo Dordoni”. In the bedroom, the bed of the same brand took its place, moreover, from the same collection as the sofa, As Fyodor Katsuba says, he is interested in the design developments of leading Italian companies.
