Babayants Architects has designed the interior of an apartment in the residential complex Sadovie Kvartali in Moscow. The starting point of the Sadovie Kvartali project was the bright space itself with high ceilings and a gorgeous panoramic view. Architects had to reveal and emphasize these advantages as much as possible. The panoramic view with the sky, the lake, and the changing seasons becomes the protagonist, the observed picture while the interior is a worthy frame.
At the entrance to the apartment, guests are greeted by a composition inspired by the East with two tables, as if it were a single element with a crack in the middle. This marble object is designed according to the drawings of Babayants Architects. A corridor leads to the common and private areas from the hallway. This space is like a junction, a center around which movement takes place.
A double-sided sofa facing the TV area and panoramic windows is in the center of a large and bright living room. The TV is neatly hidden in the bookshelves, the doors of which form an interesting composition in each position. The marble island of complex shape was designed by Babayants Architects. It is absolutely functional; can be used as kitchen or bar. The proportions of the living room are clearly calibrated, even in the details. The floor is laid out with a wide engineered wood up to 3 meters in length. This format sets a certain rhythm and a sense of space.
A functional kitchen is located behind a wooden panel with leather inserts and lighting. The breakfast area is located next to the kitchen, in a beautiful place with corner glazing and a view of the neighborhood with modern architecture. The dining room is mostly used for receiving guests and having special events. Here is a big table designed by Babayants Architects, the same chairs as in the breakfast area, and a hanging cabinet with a showcase for serving items.
The guest bathroom is designed in dark colors, in contrast to the rest of the apartment. Such an approach surprises guests. The kids’ bathroom is completely white. Graphic porcelain tiles as if hatched with a pencil are on the walls. This gives plasticity and sculpturesqueness, which architects wanted to convey in this space.
The bedroom has two main characteristics. The first is the diagonal of the lamp built into the wall. The pendant shines into the ceiling, providing a soft and diffused light. On the sides of the headboard, there are two luminous threads, the light of which is turned towards the panels.
The second detail is the multi-layer construction of the headboard made of three different materials: wood, brass, and leather. The composition looks concise and holistic due to the restrained colors.
The master bathroom is clean and spacious with natural light. The cabinet and sink are custom-made according to the drawings of Babayants Architects. The composition looks like a single whole.
The working area in the home office is finished with nickel-shade metal. All items were custom-made. The office has a glass insert through which natural light enters the corridor.
