Photo Egor Pyaskovsky “Since we are adherents of the architectural approach in our work, we have made many interior details part of the overall composition. We used natural tones and correct geometry. Most of the furnishings and decor were designed specifically for the project, including a “floating” staircase with glass railings.” Stylistically, the kitchen-living room is solved on the contrast of textures. The facades of the lower bases under the work surface are painted in anthracite, on the left the entire wall is finished with veneer. The apron and work surfaces are made of porcelain stoneware, which allows you not to be afraid of temperature changes or mechanical damage.

It was designed by one of the famous decorators of Belarus, he also worked on the exhaust system. The color scheme of the kitchen island and the hoods echo each other, the legs of the chairs and the kitchen sink, which was also matched in tone.” The master bedroom.

The entire space is maximally involved, and even the staircase serves as a cabinet-rack at the same time. There is a place for a desktop nearby, and we have placed a huge mirror and a magnetic marker board on the free wall.” Guest bedroom.
