The AR09 project, spearheaded by Kodd Bureau, is nestled within the historic confines of a century-old building on Arbat Street, bearing witness to the passage of time and architectural evolution. Tasked with reviving the space stripped of its historical essence by previous owners, the project embraced a minimalist ethos while navigating immutable structural constraints. With a focus on functionality and fluidity, the design seamlessly integrated the space's inherent character, creating a haven where past and present converge harmoniously.
At its core, the apartment unfolds as a symphony of volumes, where each element plays a crucial role in shaping the overall aesthetic. The living room, enveloped by a discreet hallway and flanked by children's quarters and a master suite, serves as the nexus of communal living. Here, the boundaries between living and dining spaces blur, allowing for uninterrupted flow and social interaction. Warm wooden textures imbue the interior with a Scandinavian sensibility, infusing the space with a sense of warmth and familiarity.
Natural light streams through restored wooden windows, illuminating the space and accentuating its timeless allure. Soft textiles and thoughtful spatial planning enhance the sensory experience, fostering a serene ambiance throughout. Structural elements, meticulously crafted to delineate zones within the room, ensure functionality without compromising aesthetic integrity. In the master zone, a neutral palette evokes tranquility, while seamless integration of living, working, and personal spaces optimizes both form and function. The AR09 project stands as a testament to the delicate balance between preserving history and embracing modernity, where each element serves a purpose in creating an enduring legacy of timeless design and contemporary living.
