Country House | Aleksandra Fedorova Bureau

Expertly tailored space live decades, built on the decor - will last a couple of seasons. This is the essence of the architectural approach taken by Alexander Fedorov: architecture determines the quality and durability of the interior. However, Alexander admits that just this apartment in the residential complex "Dominant" in the north-west of Moscow came less restrained than the other works of its offices: it has more details, interesting "details". Customers, a young couple with a child, wanted their interior was modern, bright, with warm and cozy and also unusual. "People were willing to experiment. Their wishes, we have implemented all the means in our arsenal of tricks. "

The architects have tried to uncover the most space. However, there was one restriction: the kitchen separated bearing wall that prevented as we wanted to fully integrate it with the living room. In the partition made wide opening - in this "forced" zoning proved its advantages. Once attached large balcony, it was necessary to insulate the floor in it - so there were stretches along the windows podium on which the dining room and part of the kitchen. Living rooms are gone deep into the apartment: bedroom, children - each with its own dressing room and bathroom - study. There is also a guest bathroom, hozkomnaty, dressing room at the entrance. "Storeroom provided much without them can not be", - says Alexander.

The atmosphere in the apartment so that in a matter of minutes you forget that you are in the city. Burning fireplaces, Belet pebbles, green trees. In creating a soothing mood plays an important role luxurious natural textures. Especially interesting is the stone on the floor. "When elected him on a small sample, like the color, and saw live - it turned out that it has a switching fossil remains of ancient mollusks." The walls are covered with leather panels and natural suede (rare material for the walls!), There is a glass and black and stained oak and granite under concrete - on the background looks especially beautiful green plants. It is important that the materials are in perfect balance: cold complemented by warm, soft - hard, shiny matt. As the author of the project, such a contrast s posing in the interior refinement, sharpness. And most importantly - the coveted harmony, feeling at home. "

material limit
With all the richness of textures in the house, their number is limited. "This is especially important if we are talking about the same type of materials: two types of stone in one room, we never use" - says Alexander Fedorov. For this project was chosen the most beautiful Italian marble. They covered the floor and the wall in the hallway, the floor on the podium in the dining room and kitchen, as well as surfaces and kitchen apron. Used large format slabs. "The stone is not cheap, 400 euros per square meter, plus styling is expensive. However, the total area of the surface of the stone is not much - we obtain a local trim pieces, which is not a pity to spend money. "

Fire and water
Bedroom likened to a living garden. Ficus Benjamin neat look like real trees, sprinkled on pebbles at the window, lit fireplace. On his fire especially nice to watch, lying in the bath - bathroom separated from the bedroom by a glass partition, so that visually the two spaces are combined into one. Bath given to 11 square meters. m - is half of the square bedroom. "Today, bathrooms are getting bigger. Some customers even living quarters sacrifice to get a spacious bathroom with a window, "- explains Alexander.

Smart, economical
Architects' Office Alexandra Fedorova "is often installed into their designs a system of" smart home ". It makes it easy to control lighting, blinds, climate, convectors, music. So instead of circuit breakers in the house - a kind of mini-remote control. Each group is routed to a separate control, so that when one element fails, it is easy to replace. "The system of" smart home ", in addition to being convenient, makes it possible to save energy: for example, set the temperature of the floor heating to a minimum, and the arrival of the owners to increase the heat. Not all customers are aware of this possibility, we explain to them tell. "

At all levels
Lighting schemes in the apartment is well thought out: there are many different types of fixtures, allowing vary the lighting scenarios. There are elegant chandelier over the table and the island in the living room, a lot of low light - floor lamps, bedside lamps. Presented and linear zakarniznye lighting highlights textures: wood, leather, stone. Bright lights provide built-in spots in the living room. However, they are not placed in rows, as is customary, but are scattered randomly. "It is our firm reception, it allows you to not focus on the points lined up."
