The architecture of the building, built by Sergey Skuratov, fascinated customers. They were captured by its strong character, the broken geometry by the twisted spiral of the tower and, as a result, the complex configuration of the rooms. Bewitched and the views from the windows - the dynamics of a metropolis that never sleeps. It is not surprising that the main wish of the owners was not to argue with architecture, but to conform to it. Although for a designer, working with a trapezoid-shaped apartment and sloping outer walls cannot be called simple. Irina Marchenkova and Maria Zemlyanykh coped with the task.



“The possibility of acquiring replicas was not even discussed. Design is a product of creative thought, it is an idea. It is she who makes the item valuable, for which we are ready to pay the assigned cost. ”
An array of glass and concrete, opening the view from the panoramic windows, the authors have balanced the heat of rich textures. Soft portiere streams, velvet upholstery shimmers, brass lamps shines. Natural drawings of wood and marble, handmade wallpaper ornament attracts the eye, the concrete on the facades of the kitchen reminds that there is a city outside the window.

Items create a comfortable and stylish environment. The predominant author, made from sketches of Irina and Mary. They are complemented by vintage. Bright accents - designer classics, and above all the Lady chair in the living room: in 1951 Marco Zanuzo designed it for Arflex, today Cassina owns the rights. The authors emphasize that the project used the originals.

Apartment area of 160 square meters. m in the plan is a trapezoid. From the part where the sharp corner is, the best views of the city are opened - here the designers placed the living room combined with the dining room. To smooth the sharpness of the corner, they put a rounded sofa. The kitchen is separated from the living-dining room with a light glass partition: it does not visually reduce the volume of the room, at the same time it retains its grandeur. Another difficulty is the large depth of the apartment. In the central part, which has no windows, the designers organized a dressing room and one of the bathrooms.



In the project a lot of items made to order. This approach allowed designers to adapt furniture to the characteristics of the premises. “Now there are a lot of resources where the designer and the manufacturer can learn about each other, but we always prefer those for whom customer focus is paramount,” says Maria Earthy. - Often it is the ability to quickly and gracefully solve the constantly emerging controversial issues becomes the key to successful cooperation. I can not praise the partners with whom we worked: all the items are made in excellent quality. "

Designers are constantly looking for interesting items and finishes for their projects. "We find them at exhibitions, on manufacturers' websites, we are increasingly using online resources that publish a huge number of new products every day." So, in the master bedroom is impressive wallpaper Calico. Irina first saw them on the Internet three years ago and, as she says herself, lost sleep. “Unfortunately, they were not represented in Russia. I contacted Rachel Mosler - one of the founders of the brand - and agreed on the delivery. Calico wallpapers are always printed individually for each project. Therefore, we carefully measured the room, agreed with Rachel's drawings. Partners from Design Place helped with the delivery. ”




To decorate the children's bathroom with a fashionable washbasin, the designers turned to Inbani. “The Spanish factory does not have a wide dealer network, it mainly works with interior authors individually. Model design Arik Levy attracted elegance and grace, brilliance of copper, as well as the fact that it does not look like the traditional closed thumbs. On the open shelves, items must be carefully arranged and constantly maintained in order. This is in keeping with the character of the owners: they are great perfectionists and pedants. ”
