The apartment is situated in the prestigious Prime Park Residential Complex on the 16th floor, in the heart of Moscow. This location blends modern technology, eco-friendly design, and architectural innovation. One of the standout features of the space is its panoramic windows, which flood the interior with natural light and create a sense of openness. However, the modest 65-square-meter area required a meticulous approach to every element, making furniture selection and layout critical. The design involved a complete rethinking of the floor plan, demolishing existing partitions, and crafting a new, practical layout.
The client, a foreign businessman, wanted a cozy space for short-term stays in Moscow. The focus was on functionality, as the apartment is intended for brief visits while maintaining a sense of homey warmth. Elena Taratukhina successfully implemented all ideas, with the project being accepted almost without modifications, highlighting the excellent rapport with the client.
The interior reflects the functional minimalism ideal for the client's requirements. This style emphasizes simplicity and sophistication while creating a comfortable living space. Minimalism here is not merely about eliminating excess but finding balance between form, function, and coziness.
The design employs a restrained, dark color palette that gives the space depth and a graphic quality. Black is the dominant color, lending a masculine touch, while tactile materials add warmth. The palette, chosen in collaboration with the client, perfectly reflects their taste and style.
Artwork adds personality and completes the overall concept. Paintings by artist Olga Rikoun serve as focal points in the living and dining areas, while Tatiana Kirikova's arts adorn the bedroom. Every decor element, from textiles to furnishings, was meticulously chosen to highlight the minimalist style and subdued palette.
