“I'm not a wow designer. If someone enters the room and says “Cool!”, For me it will mean a complete failure, ”says Sergey Ogurtsov. - My goal is different: so that, once in the room, a person wants to stay in it as long as possible, without knowing why. I strive for simplicity and harmony. Rarely used ornament in the decoration and bright, eye-catching colors. I am a supporter of the "new classics". And it is created not by patterns, but by verified proportions, the balance of shades and shapes. It is not entirely correct to compare the internal and external architecture, however, the feeling of harmony that arises, for example, when looking at the houses of Andrea Palladio, is extremely important to me. ”

The sun mirror was bought at a flea market in France, in Carcassonne. We needed to purchase materials and furniture as quickly as possible. New York has become a logical choice for furnishing the interior in five days: there are most high-end furniture stores here. I remember flying from Zurich, modifying the plan of visiting salons, and at that moment Oleg was getting on a plane to Singapore. We met at Lexington Avenue in the design center. From this place our shopping tour began. True, the customer was already tired on the second day and gave me a blank check; in some stores, they carefully asked me why I was working, and my assistant was having fun with an I-pad ... Oleg came to inspect the finished apartment with a toothbrush and a razor. It should be noted that by the time the interior was already completed up to towels. ”

A large number of load-bearing walls seemed to interfere with the layout, but they did not interfere. “We immediately agreed that a long corridor is normal,” says Sergey. - It allows you to organize convenient and clear linear traffic. However, so that at the entrance the gaze did not rest on the blank surface, I broke through the load-bearing wall and installed the front double doors; behind them are a wardrobe for guests and all the technical stuffing at home. We arranged the space in the simplest way - to the left of the entrance a personal half: a bedroom with a lounge area, a dressing room, a bathroom. To the right is a living room with a dining room, a kitchen, two guest bedrooms, a library and a terrace. ”

Almost the entire interior was formed during the shopping tour in New York. “Even the idea of fencing the stairs came to me when, at a Bergdorf department store, I looked after my sister's necklace of rings.

Therefore, I decided to make natural wood beams white. The builders cried, the customer clutched his head and said that he would get “painted concrete”. And I reassured everyone: “Even Elsie de Wulf, the world's first interior designer, painted rich carvings in white. And it turned out right. "
