My task was to create a modern and comfortable housing with an interesting design,” says the designer.

I managed to make the space functional, while the apartment does not look cramped, and it is comfortable in it.” Kitchen area. Furniture, Mr.Doors. GayaFores tile.

The accent element here is an oak slab and stabilized moss. During the design process, it was decided to use a bar counter instead of a regular table and thereby save space. The counter simultaneously performs the functions of a cutting area, a dining table, and additional seating for guests can also be arranged here.” Living room. Furniture, Mr.doors. Lighting, Donolux.

The living room is divided into two parts: a sofa and a sitting area on the windowsill. “The apartment is located on the 21st floor and the windows offer an amazing view of the Moskva River. I used this advantage in the living room and in the work area in the bedroom,” says Rustem. Bedside lamps, Central light. Photo Alexander Volodin The walls are covered with paint, Tikkurila.

At first glance, it is purely decorative, but in fact, this is how I solved the issue of ventilation in the dressing room,” explains the designer. Photo Alexander Volodin All the viewed areas are practically devoid of standard cabinets, which make the space heavier — storage systems managed to hide from the eyes in the dressing room, pantry and shower room. For example, in the bathroom, the closet in the closed state looks like a geometric panel with decorative niches, although it hides a lot of useful functions: there is a washing machine and dryer, a laundry basket, a place for clean laundry, and everything necessary for cleaning.
