公寓的位置是项目故事的开端。这里的地理位置尤其具有吸引力。这套公寓位于 Titul 住宅区，可以欣赏到莫斯科历史中心的壮丽景色。
首先，在开始项目工作时，我们会关注空间的体积、采光、窗户数量、全景以及建筑本身的结构。我们有很好的初始数据：位置、正确的公寓平面图以及两侧的景观。

The location of the apartment is what the project’s story begins with. Here the location is especially attractive. The apartment with breathtaking views of the historical center of Moscow is in the Titul residential complex.
First of all, when starting work on a project, we pay attention to the space’s volume, light, number of windows, panoramic view, and architecture of the building itself. There were good initial data: location, correct apartment plan, and views on both sides.

背景和项目特点
Titul 住宅区的形象非常壮观。其主要特点之一是黄铜和石材两种外墙饰面的不寻常混合。我们总是考虑到场所和建筑的背景，因此作为极简主义者，我们做出了一个勇敢的决定，将相当明亮的黄铜融入室内。我们使用了冷暖质感的复杂混合物。这成为项目的主要主题之一。冷色调的纹理是家具和地板上的木皮色调，这种木皮色调经过几个月的定制和寻找，还有墙壁和浴室中的大理石。暖色调是灯具和水龙头中的黄铜元素，以及软垫家具的深色调。

CONTEXT AND PROJECT’S FEATURES
The Titul residential complex has a spectacular image. One of the main features is the unusual mixture of two façade finishings – brass and stone. We always take into account the context of the place and architecture, that’s why we as minimalists made a brave decision to incorporate quite bright brass into the interior. We used a complex mixture of cold and warm textures. This became one of the main leitmotifs of the project. Cold textures are a shade of veneer in furniture and flooring, which was customized and sought for several months, walls, and marble in bathrooms. Warm ones are brass elements in lamps and faucets, as well as the deep tone of upholstered furniture.

该项目的第二个特点是全景和自然采光。起居室和主卧室之间的墙壁用有色玻璃代替。浴室和卧室之间有一块透明玻璃。这种做法丰富了室内空间，使其变得多维而复杂。客厅可以俯瞰卧室的办公桌区，增加了空间的层次感。从卧室可以看到配有雕塑灯和椅子的用餐区。这给人一种难以置信的强烈视觉效果。卧室和浴室之间还有一块玻璃：当人们在浴缸中沐浴时，可以看到市中心的景色。

The second feature of the project is the panoramic views and natural light. There is a tinted-glassed insertion instead of the wall between the living room and the master zone. A transparent glass is in between the bathroom and the bedroom. This approach enriches the interior, making it multidimensional and complex. The living room overlooks the bedroom work desk area, adding layers to the space. It’s possible to see the dining area with a sculptural lamp and chairs from the bedroom. This gives an incredibly strong visual effect. There is also a glass insertion between the bedroom and bathroom: when one is taking the bathtub, he/she can see the downtown.

客户的生活方式和愿望
室内设计的对象是一对年轻夫妇，他们的生活方式现代而充满活力。他们喜欢简洁实用的造型，这也是我们项目的固有特色。我们倾向于在莫斯科市中心设计出符合客户生活方式的平静的室内空间。值得一提的客户需求之一是独立式浴缸。浴缸放置在靠近窗户的大理石平台上，可以俯瞰市中心的景色。
客户喜欢非标准的烹饪形式，因此我们根据他们的个性化要求设计了厨房。例如，厨房里有一个与众不同的铁板烧炉，取自传统的日本料理。
另一个有趣的故事与厨房有关：我们真的爱上了沃拉水龙头，但制造商没有饮用水龙头，而其他工厂也没有这种类型的表面处理。我们找到了一个不同寻常的解决方案，将两个水龙头并排放置。
客户希望在家中看到艺术。艺术家迪马-戈尔布诺夫（Dima Gorbunov）创作了一幅作品，一进入公寓就立即吸引了人们的眼球，尤其是室内装饰。我们与艺术家一起选择了作品的色调和大小，并由他亲自控制作品的摆放位置。

CLIENTS’ LIFESTYLE AND DESIRES
The interior is designed for a young couple who has a modern and dynamic lifestyle. They like clean functional shapes which are inherent to our projects. We tended to design a calm interior that fits the clients’ lifestyle in the center of Moscow.
One of the worth-mentioning desires of the clients is a free-standing bathtub. It’s placed on a marble podium near the window with the view overlooking the downtown.
The clients prefer nonstandard culinary forms; therefore we designed the kitchen based on their individual requirements. For example, there is an unusual teppanyaki hob, taken from traditional Japanese cuisine.
Another interesting story is linked with the kitchen: we literally fell in love with the Vola faucet, but the manufacturer does not have drinking taps, and other factories do not have exactly this type of finish. We found an unusual solution by placing two faucets side by side.
The clients wanted to see art in their home. Artist Dima Gorbunov created a work that immediately caught the eye upon entering the apartment, especially for the interior. Together with the artist, we selected the shade and size of the work, and he personally controlled its placement.

这个项目的主要特点是只使用天然材料。我们的客户和我们一样重视触感和与天然材料互动的乐趣。对他们来说，重要的是空间中的个人感受，而不是视觉上的饱腹感。
卧室的主角是一张根据我们的草图制作的书桌。木材和大理石的复杂组合是功能性和美观的完美结合。它是如此富有表现力，以至于我们想以此为基础设计出一整套物品。桌子是一个固定在墙壁上的木制操作台和一个石制柜子。
极简主义室内设计的秘诀之一就是让所有的技术解决方案都隐形。例如，在这个项目中，很难注意到隐藏在客厅小壁龛中的卷帘。另一个技术完美的例子是，Babayants 建筑事务所设计的四米电视柜是如何以毫米的距离悬挂起来的。
在这个项目中，几乎所有的解决方案和所有的家具都是由我们的团队根据量身定制的要求进行设计和制作的。

The key feature of this project is the use of only natural materials. Our clients value tactility and the pleasure of interacting with natural materials as we do. Personal sensations in space, not visual satiety, are important for them.
The protagonist of the bedroom is a desk made according to our sketches. The complex mix of wood and marble is the perfect combination of functionality and beauty. It is so expressive that we want to create a whole collection of objects based on it. The table is a wooden console fixed to the wall and a stone cabinet built into it.
One of the secrets of a minimalist interior is to make all technical solutions invisible. For example, in this project, it is quite difficult to notice the roller blinds hidden in small niches in the living room. Another example of technical perfection is how a four-meter TV stand designed by Babayants Architects is suspended at a millimeter distance from the glass opening.
In this project, almost all solutions, and all pieces of furniture are created and designed according to made-to-measure from our team.
