One of Olga Solnyshkova's clients wanted to organize a new Moscow apartment based on feng shui principles and came with a list of suggestions from Taoist experts. Olga had never experienced anything like it, but she decided to take the risk. There were some surprises in the references she received, like the fact that the master bathroom can't be all tile. But there are some logical ones: Feng shui masters suggest placing the children's table next to the window, making sure the hostess's daughter is facing the entrance. It's also a good idea, psychologically speaking, that such a landing will make anyone who enters the room feel confident.

As a follower of Eastern philosophy, the client fell in love with France. And it turns out the two are not at odds: the point is to create an energy cycle. Thus, the image of a Parisian apartment, while somewhat traditional, would not be possible in a modern house with panoramic Windows. Its interior is filled with simple modern furniture, combined with colorful textiles, Olga loves beautiful fabrics, often making them the highlight of his designs. Generally, outsiders would never know that the room was built according to the principles of ancient teachings.

The apartment has a large foyer that the water required to be square, so extra space had to be allocated to it -- and practical Olga still laments that it would have been better left to the kitchen. But the nice thing about this layout is that it has a beautiful foyer with floors, designer consoles and double doors that create a festive atmosphere.

The client's daughter gets a fully grown suite, with a small "front room" leading from the living room to a bedroom with wardrobe and private bathroom. For the client himself, a large dressing room is essential. The attached rooms make up about a third of the 110-meter apartment, but the design makes everything else look spacious and airy.
