The area of the apartment is divided into two main areas: common (hall, kitchen-living room, study and guest bathroom) and private (master bedroom with dressing room and bathroom). All rooms are designed in a minimalist style: laconically, without visual noise. Sofa, armchair with pouf and coffee tables, B&B.

The attention here is immediately attracted by an asymmetrical glass table by the sofa and an eclectic lamp with glass shades in the dining area. Dining table, Draenert. Chairs, Bonaldo.

Open storage is organized in the kitchen and a laconic bar counter is installed, where you can have breakfast or a snack. Kitchen, Valcucine. Demi-bar chairs, Bonaldo. Lamps, Modular.

A low bed with lighting and a laconic storage system nearby set the rhythm of horizontal lines. And the main focus was a sculptural chair of unusual shape from Zanotta in a cozy corner for reading.

Transparent shutters let in a stream of natural light, which is reflected from the glossy white surface of the cabinet, filling the room with air. Simple lines are combined with soft smooth shapes of armchairs, sofas and draperies of curtains. If necessary, the sofa in the study can be decomposed — you will get an additional sleeping place for guests. Armchairs, sofa and coffee table, Minotti. Work chair, Vitra.

The furniture composition for the bathroom and the cabinet under the sink with a single countertop is made according to the individual drawing of the author of the project. An elegant built-in bathtub harmoniously fits into the environment without weighing down the interior. The same purpose is served by light blinds on the windows that let in light.

The only decorative element here is the oblique masonry of dark, relief tiles, stylized as raw stone.

The combination of the marble floor in the hall and the parquet board in the living room creates an ideal transition from the entrance area to a more private one. Console and mirror, B&B Italia.
