ABOUT THE PROJECT
The interior of this project is an intriguing mix of elements from various styles. There is a clear Scandinavian influence reflected in the warm wood finishes, pristine grayish-white walls, built-in furniture, and cozy, welcoming décor. The principles of minimalism are evident in the sleek design of the kitchen, which blends seamlessly into the living room, as well as in the subtle and understated color palette used throughout the space. Classic style is represented in the decorative moldings on the walls and the plush, velvety furniture.
CUSTOMER
The design of the space reflects its owner, a sophisticated woman with fiery red hair and refined, exquisite taste. She is the true embodiment of modern classicism, and her personality and style are carefully reflected in every element of the interior design.
IN PROGRESS
RESULT
The apartment underwent a complete transformation. Initially, it was completely demolished and then meticulously rebuilt to ensure comfortable proportions for the built-in furniture. The bedrooms have been designed with a minimalist approach, while the kitchen and living room are spacious and cozy. The strategic removal of the loggia provided additional space to accommodate the dining room.
The design focused on creating cozy corners divided into zones, each with its own atmosphere. Comfortable chairs strategically placed by the window offer a quiet place to relax and enjoy the city views, while a dining area is comfortably nestled deep within the space that was once a loggia. The dining table is by Altacom, the chairs are by Midj, and the soft furnishings were custom-made to fit the space perfectly.
The dining table is by Altacom, the chairs are by Midj, and the soft furnishings were custom-made to fit the space perfectly. The display cabinet furniture was designed exclusively by Churina Design specifically for this project, which includes a minimalist kitchen located along a complex wall.
One of the apartment's key features is a 13-meter closet that extends from the foyer to the living room. This closet offers ample storage space for seasonal clothing, Christmas decorations, extra linens and tableware, and even houses an aquarium and a dedicated TV area.
In a clever design move, a shared closet between the master bedroom and the children's room replaced a wall and is strategically located between two pilasters, with facades that resemble decorative wall panels.
Much attention was paid to lighting. With LED backlighting installed around the perimeter of the ceiling and decorative suspensions highlighting the main areas, the lighting design truly brings the space to life. In addition, the apartment also features warm lights in the furniture and aquarium lighting, creating intimate nighttime lighting.
