White, first

“We used to joke that we would make it easier for the owner to locate his black clothes. But kidding aside, Alexei is a very meticulous man and the white interior does not look completely white due to the reflections from the facades of the neighboring buildings. In the daylight, the walls of the living room take on a warm ocher glow reflected from the block opposite. The latter is reminiscent of the houses of Copenhagen's Nyboder, a historic terraced district that we and our client find endearing. ”

A minimum of furniture was chosen, and each element was selected with meticulous care, looking for a clear design, super comfort and compact size. To visually enlarge the dining room space, a chest of drawers with a mirror is designed. At Alexei's request, the room was decorated with a copy of Rembrandt's self-portrait - the famous lithography was transferred to the canvas by the illustrator Diana Kustova. In addition, according to the customer's request, the signature was made using neon lighting.

 "It's great to have a bathroom with a window, but it's twice as better to have a bathroom with two windows and we managed to achieve that, and to transform a small walk-through kitchen, only two meters long, which Alexei called a" kitchen tester "before he started cooking quite refined dishes there "- say the architects.

The most interesting feature of this design is that there is actually not a single brick partition wall in the apartment. The space is limited by glass partitions and French doors. "In this way, we managed to save space and create a transparent interior, letting natural light into every nook and cranny of the apartment" - emphasize the architects. "The apartment has windows facing both sides, keeping the private and public areas strictly separated."
