Sense of balance: Moscow apartment for a young family Design 01.05.2022 Architect Ariana Ahmad has created a minimalistic interior in which the classical mood is balanced by bright objects of modern art Photo Mikhail Loskutov Designer Ariana Ahmad Photo Mikhail Loskutov GENERAL PARAMETERS Property type: apartment in a new house Where is located: Moscow Square footage: 212 m2 Style: minimalism with classical notes Color scheme: light with color accents; children’s rooms contrast dark Author of the project: architect Ariana Ahmad Photo Mikhail Loskutov Strict verified interiors are the basis of the style of architect Ariana Ahmad. She created this project in the center of Moscow for a young family with three sons. “They are very energetic, athletic, they like to spend all their free time together. The main wish of the customers was to preserve the maximum amount of light and free space for children’s games,” recalls Ariana.

The solution to the problem was decorative shutters-shutters.

My idea was to use shutters and windows to create a certain rhythm in the interior, make it as light and light as possible and visually increase the footage.” Photo Mikhail Loskutov Photo Mikhail Loskutov “In contrast to the bright rooms of the main area, the children’s rooms are made in deep shades of blue. The customers doubted their decision to the last, but the result turned out to be spectacular and the whole family liked it. The guest bathroom has also become saturated in color, which supports the theme of dense saturated shades.” Photo Mikhail Loskutov Photo Mikhail Loskutov Photo Mikhail Loskutov The architect paid special attention to the choice of decor and art objects, thanks to which the neutral background gained a new depth. Perhaps the most unusual items in the interior are a white ceramic vase by Gilles Caffier and a chandelier over the dining table by Giopato & Coombes.
