On the synthesis of comfort and the illusion

Today we present the apartment that architect Valentin Kuzmin designed for himself. In doing so, she had to take into account the constraints: area - 64,2 m2 total, including two balconies, inconvenient layout, as evidenced by the plan, and a number of construction defects. However, for arranging their own homes any architect is ready to go for risky experiments, even with a small budget, and therefore uses a much larger arsenal of techniques.




Consider the disadvantages of the original project: a large dark room, tiny bathroom, very narrow room, which were going to have a bedroom (it can not be furnished to the normal size), and a tiny bay window in the living room. Add the obvious curvature of the walls, especially in the center of the apartment. Therefore, in connection with the re had to solve two problems at once: the transfer of the partitions and search for ways to disguise those curves lines that were not brought to the absolute correctness.

So, cut the central space of the room, slightly increased the area of a bedroom. It is now possible to get to the bathroom. The latest increase is almost double from the hall. Its main part attached to the living room, and the remainder allocated a small anteroom. In one corner of her find a job (about 1 m2) for a new guest bathrooms. It adjoins the wall of the bathroom, so the pipe from the riser had to pull in quite a small distance. At the site of the former guest bathroom is located a modest-sized kitchen. It is bordered dining. Partitions, first separate the two rooms in this area was removed. Living room slightly increased at the expense of a kitchen-dining room, and move partitions.

To the hostess did not feel sad solitude, between the living room and kitchen done opened window. Now, by cook, you can also watch TV from the kitchen (this is especially a consideration in choosing a site for the equipment). Sills serves as a bar from the living room. From the kitchen tabletop is built, it is tables, which sit comfortably. Beneath that are the hosts hidden folding chairs, there is, for neutral faces, hidden dishwasher.

According to the architect, the main problem of the small apartment was not enough space to accommodate all functional areas. The hosts needed an office, but it was not extra meters. A compromise solution suggested the experience of living in Germany. In this democratic country, distributed version of the Cabinet with ... dining room. Large dining table can not be better suited for working with line drawings. In addition, at any time convenient to have on hand all the necessary materials for work. Note that the principle of combined functions - the main story of this apartment.





Let's see, what are the main features of layout and design, becoming an awkward little space in the picturesque and spacious interior.

Let's start a tour is taken from the hallway. It is quite tiny (3.5 m2), but it does not look like. From furniture to fit it just thumb-table and stool, pouf. On the left side of the door - a huge mirror (they are faced with the door wardrobe in recess). It not only doubles the hallway, but also reflects the prospect of a long room with windows at the far end. Separated from the living room hallway is not the door, and light curtains from organza, hung on a metal arch bars. From the hallway from the guest bathroom wall Scotia, to opening new horizons for the living room, to keep him comfortable configuration. Deliberately "delete" with the help of gypsum ceiling decoration, it staged a falshokno-"okulyus" - all "Lantern" backlit. Visually, the design emphasizes the hallway area and increases the height of the ceiling, creating the impression of close wells. Another characteristic of the design claimed in the hallway: the prostenkah even "pass" zone razveshany picture. They are, incidentally, many in all corners of the apartment. Paintings attached to the interior artistry and individuality, as well as participate in the rhythmic organization of space.

From the entrance hall opens through the prospect of three oriel windows. At first glance, it seems that we are in a country house. Finishing of the outer wall of the artificial stone, electric (in the first minute, it seems real), a winter garden, wicker furniture - all signs of suburban life. So like, settled in the fire, relax in the rocking chair and talk tete-a-tete in the elegant winter garden chairs. But this elegant corner cost the owners a lot of anguish. Incorrect ovoid form mini-bay window at first did not fit in any concept. Random curvature of the walls require Herculean efforts of the architect and the workers find a compromise between the ideal and the real possibilities, or else threatened to turn into a bay window useless appendix. We had to abandon the idea of the dome: the curvature would not be able to cover up even kilos of plaster and putty. But helped by the use of lacquer Rotoll TOLLENS (France) attached to the surface of the ceiling mirror shine and excellent retro-reflective ability. The same coating used on all the slope. Glitter nail polish illusory reduce their thickness, and is complemented by the summer of multiple reflection of juicy green windows.

Is it possible to locate a number of such diverse elements as strict geometric rack and a cozy winter garden in a tiny bay windows, framed stone texture? Especially considering that the wall at this point does not converge at an angle of 90 °, and a few bolshim that requires less delicately. The round white pillar at the border between the winter garden and the shelves has been a distraction the facility and to mitigate the transition from the "Green Corner" to correct the open grid shelves. Capital with illumination and unusual treatment of the base (it was replaced by a mirror embedded in the coupling diameter 60 cm) made in the interior a sense of intrigue and exoticism.




Now, no one point of the living room and it is impossible to notice the slightest curvature of the walls. To avoid losing precious centimeters, shortcomings concealed decorative ways. In part, therefore, on the floor of ceramic granite has a pattern "cell," him "the careful direction, building a longitudinal and transverse axis of the room. Only this time now and decorative striking. In fact, the pattern successfully diverted from the wrong angles of view in the area of windows. Along the walls between the living room and bedroom shelves built from plasterboard (as architect's drawings). At one end of his TV set. In another corner of the living room adjacent to the outer wall, put saucy double sofa. It is specifically expected length partitions between the dining room and living room and a width prostenka between the bulkhead and the door to the balcony. Sofa slightly overlaps a corner niche balcony doors, but it is almost imperceptible. Elegance of a corner for the rest set off an abstract canvas Vladimir Kuzmin. The right of the door in the dining room wall, attached to the bar, designed by V. Kuzmina. Under the tabletop of ceramic granite arranged a mini-rack for magazines. It is possible, and placing an open bar: height and depth of the shelves are designed for this option. Another zone is near the living room prostenka between the hallway and bedroom. Footstools may serve to posidelok, and can easily go in the other corner.




The very same dining room in the apartment - no less important place. From the main zone separates it into a glass door aluminum profiles (model Quadrante of RIMADESIO, Italy), which provides excellent sound insulation. The partition between the dining room and living room has a different thickness. To achieve parallelism canvases bearing wall (from the dining room), near the window it did in the 5 cm thick, compared to the end that is closest to the door.





Dining room can become a real architect's office. On its "business" of show pyatisektsionny cabinet along the wall opposite the door, and the selection of lamps. A ceiling mounted rectangular frame-bus with six office lights of three different species. Some serve as sources of focused flow with a minimum scattering angle, the other - with a wider, others provide a bright, but uniform coverage throughout the area as a whole. In the dining room there is a third option: it can serve as a guest room, its dimensions are for the installation of the bed.






In contrast with the warm orange walls of the dining room kitchen range designed entirely neutral. Minimalistichny design provides the best backdrop for the environment "cabinet", which separates the kitchen only a small slip of the plasterboard. Looking from the living room, this area also does not irritate the eye. In the area of 4,5 m2 kitchen together with all necessary appliances. Risers hidden behind elegant hinged closet in the corner to the left of the entrance. Notably, in addition to the local illumination of working surfaces in the kitchen is a continuous, around the perimeter of the ceiling, plafond-falshokno. It evenly illuminates the entire room.





It generally affects the sound and error-free game with the apertures, mirrors, windows (real and blende) and cross-cutting perspective, several cross-cutting areas. For example, even from the door of the dining room seen in the bedroom mirror cabinet, increasing the depth of the far zone. The direction of motion of a matter of perspective and floor pattern: a door connects the rooms exactly sweeping diagonal.

After moving the walls in a bedroom set and a broad double bed, and cabinet furniture from the wall opposite. Slight relief on the ceiling and the stage of a long recesses under the ceiling gave the room easy. Above the bed head - swagger stained glass frieze. Seven panels of colored glass sintered "work" on two adjacent rooms. Evening sunset the sun's rays penetrate through and through stained glass windows, giving them great illumination and scattering by flat color flicker.




In-box ideas

The bathroom here is a real apotheosis of art architectural illusion, based on the game with the reflection in the mirror and workshops sets of plasterboard. The wall opposite the entrance is faced with a mirror on the tabletop sink to the ceiling, a wall of the right - from the decorative pylons to the shower. All mirrors have a special coating vlagozaschitnoe. Their share of the pylon with elegant decorative niche. The upper part is decorated with speed caps. For the decoration of the hidden sewer riser. To match the tubes can be opened the door quietly, under the tabletop (which simulates the continued pylons). The emergence of mirrors set at right angles to each other, create the illusion of circular bypass around the pylons and the "quadruple" the size of the room. And with an open door into the bedroom a disturbing prospect out somewhere far beyond the premises. Undulating terrain podshivnom on the ceiling and a round "okulyus", which is also inserted a mirror, reflecting many times, give the room a romantic look. Repeating circle motif, including the mosaic panels on the floor with the image of yin-yang symbols, decorative tiles from FORNAZETTI, in the mirrors causes the box to accept a washing machine as a piece of decorative composition.

It is dizzying spectacle that awaits those who come into the bathroom. Thanks to the game of reflections in the mirrors, the room seems to fourfold more spacious than it actually is! Cool colors fills the room a feeling of freshness and lightness. At first glance a moment lost, unable to discern how similarly organized layout here. The emergence of the fifth angle made it possible to install and voluminous shower, and large corner bath is the same model. But space still seems very spacious.

This unusual flat serves expressive virtuoso example of a space. In fact, this architect is able to change beyond recognition the face of the interior, to make the flaws lay in the dignity of a problem - at your convenience. Not Kuzmina Valentina said: "The more complex the task, the more interesting and its solutions, and the result"
