Apartment in dark colors

Nestled in the heart of Moscow, this apartment serves as a sanctuary for its owner, a young man who has a predilection for dark hues and captivating concrete textures. Interior designer Svetlana Herzen sought a space that would embody tranquility and provide a breathtaking view of the cityscape. Situated in a modern residential complex, loft style apartment offers panoramic vistas of the entire city, from the historical center to the iconic Kremlin. The owner desired an open layout with minimal walls, a designated bedroom area, and a television visible from multiple angles. To bring this vision to life, a specially designed rotating structure was created for the TV.

Custom-made furniture and interior elements, derived from the designer's sketches and expertly crafted by skilled artisans, define the space. The centerpiece of the apartment is a striking artwork by the acclaimed young artist Lisa Bobkova, titled "More, More, More, More." Its repetitive patterns provoke individual interpretations, inviting viewers to find personal meaning within the piece. Adjacent to this captivating artwork is a sculpture by the talented artist Lev Efimov, further enhancing the artistic ambiance.

The apartment's interior architecture was meticulously designed to embody an open, multifunctional space. Circular in layout and equipped with built-in storage solutions, the overall aesthetic embodies understated European design with a focus on natural materials and earthy tones. This deliberate design allows the vibrant city palette to take center stage, complementing the ever-changing moods and illuminated city lights.

The choice of finishing materials further amplifies the concept, incorporating a diverse range of textures and finishes. From natural black timber shelves to Dekton stone countertops and accents of liquid metal, careful attention was given to achieving depth and vibrancy. Terracotta-colored silk wallpapers in the wardrobe and linen and wool fabrics throughout the space add warmth and tactile sensation. The color palette pays homage to the captivating view outside the apartment's expansive panoramic windows. Matte shades of black and dark brown serve as primary colors, while complex gray and black tones accentuate transitions and the interplay of natural light. Decorative coatings on the walls create a soft contrast and envelop the space, instilling a sense of tranquility.

To expand the visual boundaries of the apartment, the designer utilized large formats and seamless finishes. Tall doorways, nearly seamless porcelain tiles, and suspended structures with intricate mechanisms create the illusion of boundlessness. Lighting plays a strategic role, while a smart home system ensures seamless functionality.

The final result is an intriguing and unconventional interior that beckons exploration and appreciation of its delicate lines and precise elements. Meticulously planned design, flawless execution, and thoughtfully curated objects and art converge to create a natural and serene environment that evokes emotions and inspires awe.
