The villa was built at the time when Kaliningrad was called Königsberg, and Borodino Street, where it stands, is Haarbrückerstrasse. The building has the status of a cultural heritage site of regional significance. In our time, it was divided into three apartments, in one of which, an area of ​​180 square meters. m, had a chance to work designers Studio Interiors, Vlada Peterson and Natalia Zabanova. “High windows and ceilings above three meters are the best basis for creating modern classics. I wanted to transfer the historical spirit of the exterior to the interior that had lost its former greatness, to add the past to the present. And we succeeded. ”

“We decided that the stucco decoration would fit perfectly here - and now many guests, having come here for the first time, are sure that this stucco has remained since former times. Despite the traditional design of the walls and paneled doors, furniture and lamps are modern. No matter how we love the spirit of the classics, but progress does not stand still, customers want to use functional objects and mechanisms. The classic shell and modern content, in our opinion, is the best combination. The main thing is not to mix today's furniture with classic, then eclecticism will look delicious. We tried to maintain the geometry in everything: in the forms of furniture, in textile prints, in the mirror on the wall of the dining room - broken lines are softened by the classic wall shell. ”

The authors of the project, Design Interiors designers Natalya Zabanova and Vlada Peterson.

The villa is located in an area that used to be a respectable suburb of Königsberg and was called Amalienau. At the end of the 19th century, architect Friedrich (Fritz) Heitmann, together with a group of like-minded people, began his design using the “garden city” concept that was fashionable at the time: low-rise buildings, an abundance of trees and flowers, unusual for the Prussian city curved streets . The villas had all the amenities: electricity, water, gas, sewage. In the style felt the influence of art. Houses in the spirit of rural estates demonstrated roofs of intricate forms, turrets, sculptures, weather vanes. Two-thirds of the buildings were designed by Heitmann himself, who is recognized as one of the most prominent architects of East Prussia. In Soviet times, many of the buildings were rebuilt, but the area still retains a special aura.

“We were lucky with the living room,” say the authors of the project. - The architect Heitmann thought out her orientation to the cardinal points so well that with natural light an active play of light and shade appears in it. To emphasize this effect, we made the walls pure white, although usually, given the abundance of cloudy days in Kaliningrad, we use paint with shades for the walls. A chandelier in the living room, a dresser in the dining area and a wardrobe with 3D facades in the hallway continue the idea of ​​the play of light and shadow and unite the rooms. Neutral color of the walls will allow with time the replacement of textiles to refresh and even change the look of the house. This is important for those interiors in which families are supposed to live long. ”

The classic shell contrasted with modern content. However, it is not homogeneous: there are things of neutral forms, there are those where the influence of the Mid-century Modern is obvious. “We like the way the details of the 1950s and 60s fit into today's environment.” Classic design - chandelier Gino Sarfatti for Flos in 1958 and a subtle black bra Serge Muia. The lamp Zeppelin - Marmael Wanders ommazh cult model Achille Castiglioni. An important role is played by the sofa Rolf Benz in the living room. “He has been with customers for a long time. Usually we discourage customers when they want to leave things “from the old life”, because they do not agree with the new interior, but here they immediately agreed. The shape of the sofa set the mood in the lines of the living room. "

Living room. Chest made to order. Stuccoes on the ceiling and walls were added by designers, but the guests are sure that she has always been here. "With such an area and ceiling height, as in the living room, the designer should work especially carefully with the scale."
