Pokrovsky residential complex | Makedesign Design and Architecture Studio

The apartment is 100 sq.m. in Rostov-on-Don.

The apartment for a young man is designed in the style of ascetic and utilitarian minimalism. The customer immediately set the tone for the project: nothing superfluous, everything should be functional and convenient. The rough and modern character of the interior expresses the lifestyle of the owner: new technologies, appliances, comfort.

The possibility of a free-plan layout made it possible to create a large-volume space and reveal the advantages of this style: a lot of air and light, emphasizing textures and linearity, architectural interior. Working with large volumes has also solved the problem of ceiling drop differences up to 300 mm, which is significant for a standard height of 2900 mm.

The zoning of the apartment reflects the lifestyle of the owner: on 100 sq.m. there is a kitchen-living room, a bathroom, a bedroom, an office and a large dressing room with access from the hall and from the bedroom. The spacious loggia with panoramic windows was combined with the living room and zoned with a glass partition, creating a place to relax.

Materials and color set an austere modern tone to the interior. Laminam large-format porcelain stoneware for metal, natural wood, frosted glass of a complex deep gray—green color with a satin texture, charcoal, zircon, French gray, soft felt upholstery - these materials combined with simple shapes create a sense of natural space.

Interior doors are marked graphically and nuanced in the interior, storage spaces, kitchen equipment and built-in appliances are hidden in boxes and dissolved in the wall. The Doimo Cucine factory created a kitchen for the project precisely in our dimensions. The Molteni table, with its delicate architecture, perfectly softens the clarity of lines and the rigor of space. The soft framing of the interior in the form of chairs from the Bontempi factory and the Doimo Salotti voluminous sofa is complemented by the flawless arc of the Luceplan floor lamp, the thin stem of which dissolves into the living room space. In the recreation area, the accent is the rhythm of the Flos factory's pendant lights, and the sconces of the same factory create a soft glow in the bedroom. The painting by Lydia Zheleznyak with the author's interpretation of a fragment of the Sistine Chapel painting by Michelangelo Buonarroti fits into a minimalist bedroom.
