“In Moscow, I was not offered to build. You have an interesting architecture, with a great past, and it would be interesting to work here. In our environment, Moscow is spoken of as a city in which something is happening, although no one can say what it is. ”
From the main deconstructivist’s own apartment, even if it was done not by the master himself, but by his student, many would have the right to wait for strong emotions, some powerful impression, spatial effects. Nothing of the kind - all the rooms are solved according to a single principle: a neutral box with light walls made of plasterboard, filled with design icons of the 20th century. Here are the iconic floor lamp in the form of a searchlight by a photographer Fortuny, Palucco Italia, the work of Le Corbusier, a couch Barcelona by Mies van der Rohe (Knoll International), a chair by Eero Saarinen, lamps by Ingo Maurer. There is no art on the walls, no bookshelves or shelves (the library is located in the studio's office located nearby), which seem to be mandatory for a large architect. The only solemn detail in the whole interior is the floor of Tuscan gray sandstone.
