Vintage and classic design, an optimistic color palette and a bar on the balcony – this is how the new 1970s look as interpreted by the founder of the Perfect Space bureau, architect Natalia Samoilova

“It was built in 1977 with a yellow brick facade characteristic of that time and 2.6—meter-high ceilings,” says Natalia Samoilova, founder of the Perfect Space bureau and the Perfect Object interior design studio. “I wanted to support the architectural style of the building with vintage elements in the spirit of the design of the 1960s-70s of the twentieth century. This is how the idea of wooden wall panels, glass blocks with the texture of ice cubes and an optimistic palette based on a sage-olive scale with accents of terracotta, coral and ripe cranberries, which is ideal for apartment owners — a bright young couple, arose.”

But they decided to abandon the historical layout. “At the end of the 1970s, the concept of adjacent rooms was in fashion, this solution looks nice in the pictures, but it does not correspond at all to modern ideas of comfort,” explains Natalia. – Therefore, we have completely changed the zoning of the apartment. As a result of the redevelopment, the space was clearly divided into public and private parts.

On an area of 85 square meters there is an entrance hall, a spacious living room-dining room-kitchen, where you can arrange large receptions in a noisy company, a fully isolated bedroom with its own dressing room and bathroom, an office-guest room with its own bathroom. And two more sunny loggias, a hall and a dressing room.”

As a reminder of the adjacent layout of the rooms, creating the effect of permeable space, some doors were made with inserts of stained glass, and an open window opening was provided in the wall between the living room and the loggia. From the side of the loggia, its window sill performs the function of a bar counter.

“The idea of the design of this interior was largely prompted by the house itself in the center of Moscow”

To make the rooms seem higher, the transitions from the walls to the ceiling were rounded, and the walls themselves were painted in several colors horizontally. These characteristic elements of the 1960s and 1970s are perfectly combined with a carefully selected vintage setting.

“In general, all the furniture in this interior is either vintage or design icons,” says Natalia. – To match their original finish, wood species and detailing, I designed profiles of wooden handles, facades of cabinets and other joinery made according to my sketches. As a result, all the elements echo each other, creating a single image.”
