Kerimov Architects designed the interior of a 145mXNUMX apartment for a family with children in the 'Nasledie' residential complex in Moscow. The apartment is characterized by a play of textures and materials and a bright lobby with a long narrow corridor, visually enlarged by mirrors that lead to the living area, the informal center of the apartment.
The living area, combined with the dining room and the kitchen, is a multifunctional area where the family gathers and friends meet.
This area is conventionally divided into two parts: in the first there is a kitchen, a bar counter and a dining room, in the second there is a living room. The former is designed in colors with a predominance of brown and beige tones, while the latter is in white, gray tones with bright blue accents. They are united by thin black graphic spots: floor lamps, a Minotti coffee table in the living room, a TV, kitchen block niches, an oven, bar stools from Cattelan Italia.
The chromatic combination is highlighted by the difference in materials and textures: the glossy white surfaces of the furniture and the bar counter contrast with the wood veneer kitchen unit by Cesar and the wooden table by Bonaldo. They are visually united by a central chandelier with a metal band and a glass diffuser by Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting.
In the living room, the light gray Minotti sofa matches not only the color but also the texture of the fabric with the honeycomb wall by Porcelanosa. As a color accent, there is an armchair from the B&B Italia brand and decorative pillows on the sofa.
The architects applied an interesting design solution - two built-in and opposite each other built-in wardrobes, the monolithic facades of which hide many functional storage areas: shelves, drawers, etc. Thus, the usable area increases and the room is free from visual noise. The cabinets are custom made according to the sketches of Kerimov Architects.
From the living room, one can see a green wall with perimeter lighting and a mirror reflecting the second part of the multifunctional space. Next to it, there is a guest bathroom, the interior of which is made on the contrast of textures of large format bronze-colored tiles and the fractional texture of a black wall (Mirage, Marazzi). The green color of the wall is not random and unobtrusively repeated in the original rectangular sink.
The master bedroom is designed in warm neutral coffee-cream colors. A feature of the interior is a herringbone panel, designed according to sketches by architects Kerimov. This creates a vibrant rhythm throughout the space and echoes the design of the adjacent master bathroom.
The upholstered headboard by Meridiani along the entire width of the wall embraces the San Giacomo bedside tables. The monotony of the headboard emphasizes the texture of the wall panel. Light and subtle pendant lights create a relaxing and romantic atmosphere.
The bedroom also has a functional area: a tiered TV cabinet from San Giacomo serves both as a shelf for books and magazines and as a workspace. The Baxter Blue Leather Armchair recalls the accent color already used in the living room. The linear metallic floor lamp echoes the brass tips of the chair and doesn't draw too much attention to itself.
The master bathroom is designed primarily in warm, bright colors. Lighting under the ceiling and in niches plays a special role, giving the interior of the bathroom more coziness and revealing the beauty of wood-effect porcelain stoneware from the Mirage brand. The faucets are from the Antonio Lupi brand.
The children's bathroom is made in graphite shades. Its distinctive feature is the original textures: Mirage porcelain stoneware and Sicis metal bricks. Glossy textures and an abundance of mirrors visually lighten the interior.
The children's room is a multifunctional space with a rich imagination. The room seems to be divided into two zones: for sleeping and for working. The beds are divided using rhythmic partitions and frames. Murals and playful rose-shaped lamps add poetry and imagination.
The workspace is organized around a large window to provide ample natural light. Pull-out drawers under the table and a tall Lago shelf unit with different sized units keep the room tidy.
