该公寓是为一对年轻夫妇设计的，他们对室内设计和艺术感兴趣。就在开始这个项目之前，他们从摩洛哥旅行回来，在那里他们被麦地那区复杂的结构所打动，并受到摩洛哥人对颜色的态度的启发。因此，公寓规划的原型是麦地那的一个片段，由一栋房子、一个广场和一条连接所有部分的街道组成。

The apartment was designed for a young couple who are interested in interior design and art. Just before starting the project, they came back from the trip to Morocco, where they were impressed by the intricate structure of the medina quarter and inspired by the Moroccan attitude towards color. So, the prototype of the apartment’s plan is a fragment of the medina that consists of a house, a square, and a street connecting all the parts.

客厅的灵感来自于一个小广场的感觉，是公寓内最大的空间。它被一堵红墙所包围，这是本项目中主要的空间组织元素。这是一个独特的固体体积，你可以从公寓的任何地方观察。躺在卧室里，我们看到与坐在客厅里相同的墙，这种感觉对于业主的内部空间定位似乎很重要。

The living room, inspired by the feeling of a small square, is the largest space inside the apartment. It is surrounded by a red wall, which is the main space-organising element in this project. It is a unique solid volume that you can observe from any point of the flat. Lying in the bedroom, we see the same wall as sitting in the living room, and this feeling seemed important for the internal spatial orientation of the owners.

浴室被漆成蓝色，但在镜子里，我们立即看到了红色的墙，这似乎是对公寓的框架。这种交集创造了一个整体物体的感觉，其中有一个非语言的想法，通过光线、比例和颜色将所有空间统一起来。在墙的体积和公寓的边界之间，有一个厨房、储藏室、衣柜，以及浴室和卧室的入口。所有的空间都像在真正的麦地那一样相互交错。厨房的体积被添加到客厅中，而我们只能看到它的一部分。在公寓式麦地那的概念中，卧室意味着一个私人住宅。床得到了房间的所有空间，在这种配置下，窗台作为一个表面，业主可以把植物和书放在那里。

The bathroom is painted in blue colour, but in the mirror, we immediately see the red wall, which seems to frame the apartment. This intersection creates a sense of a whole object, in which there is a non-verbal idea that unites all space through light, proportions, and color. Between the volume of the wall and the boundaries of the apartment, there are a kitchen, storage, wardrobe, and entrances to the bathroom and bedroom. All the spaces intersect with each other as in the real medina. The kitchen’s volume is added to the living room, while we can see it only partially. In the concept of the apartment-medina, the bedroom means a private house. The bed gets all the room’s space and the windowsill in this configuration serves as a surface, where the owners could put the plants and books.

浴室与卧室之间用哑光的玻璃隔断隔开，这样可以获得日光。建筑师对功能部分给予了极大的关注。客厅可以通过一对滑动的隔板从视觉上与座位区分开。在床的平台下，有一个大的存储空间，方便使用。在红色的墙里面，也有封闭的储存区，用木质纹理突出，但涂上与墙相同的颜色。地板上的大石板是定制的。它们是用彩色混凝土块浇铸而成的，与油漆不同，它不会让地板上的图案被抹去。

The bathroom is separated from the bedroom by a matte profiled glass partition, which permits access of daylight. Architects have paid much attention to the functional component. The living room can be visually separated from the seating area by a pair of sliding partitions. Under the bed podium, there is a big storage space with easy access. Inside the red wall, there are also enclosed storage areas, highlighted with wooden textures, but painted with the same color as the wall. Large slabs on the floor are custom-made. They were cast from concrete with coloured concrete pieces, which, unlike paint, will not allow the pattern on the floor to be erased.

我们在客厅的天花板上看到同样的颜色和材料的大圆圈。建筑师决定部分保留混凝土天花板，并请他们的朋友，艺术家Yura Pilishkin，在圆圈中画一个几何构图。这个圆圈也作为一个光源使用。该公寓有大量的木材，具有活跃的自然纹理：所有衣柜和储藏室的外墙都是用木材制成的，还有散热器的护套和卧室的功能平台。

We see the same colors and materials in a large circle in the living room ceiling. Architects decided to partially leave the concrete ceiling and asked their friend, artist Yura Pilishkin, to draw a geometric composition in the circle. This circle also works as a light source. The apartment has a lot of wood with an active natural texture: all the facades of the wardrobes and storages are made with wood as well as the sheathing of the radiators and the functional podium in the bedroom.

大多数家具都是定制的，或者是在古董店找到的，并进行了修复：1960年代的 “Miroslav Navratil “沙发，意大利公司的 “Luci “落地灯，这是费迪南德-保时捷在1970年代末创造的，并由Repeatstory修复，扶手椅，以及罗马尼亚公司 “Dej “和芬兰 “Asko “的椅子。

Most of the furniture is custom-made or was found in vintage shops and restored: the “Miroslav Navratil” sofa from the 1960s, the Italian company’s “Luci” floor lamp, which was created by Ferdinand Porsche in the late 1970s and was restored by Repeatstory, armchairs, and chairs by the Romanian company “Dej” and the Finnish “Asko”.
