The apartments are in the Vesper Tverskaya clubhouse, designed by the Speech Architectural Bureau in the style of historical buildings. All interiors were already finished, and engineering systems, kitchen and bathrooms, and outlets for lamps were installed. The clients asked Babayants Architects to develop a design concept preserving the existing finish as much as possible, and fully furnish the interior.
Already at the first acquaintance with the space, Artem Babayants, founder and chief architect of Babayants Architects,“saw”the objects of Mathieu Lehanner in the interior. The charm and plasticity of French objects, elegant and slightly naive forms, and play with gravity became the basis of the interior concept. Their uniqueness is no less important: all objects are collectible design items that are custom-made for the project.
At Vesper Tverskaya, the architects were curious to try an atypical combination of collectible pieces of furniture by European designers with works of art by Russian artists, for example, a round panel by Alice Spots above the Pillars console by Mathieu Lehanner. The office in Vesper Tverskaya deserves special attention. The overall atmosphere is tactile, muted, natural, and reminiscent of the aesthetics of dried flowers.
According to legend, every element of the interior came here by chance, as if the clients encountered pieces of furniture at different points in their lives, fell in love with them, and brought them to the office so that the space would acquire new stories and things. But in fact, everything in the interior was carefully chosen down to the smallest detail, so here one can only find a neat, subtle hint of this legend.
