Open Studio Apartment

Footage of 58.5 m / room 1 / floor 4 / Ceilings 3.5m Initially it was a two-room apartment in a pre-revolutionary building erected in 1917, with original old moldings in the entryway. Total redevelopment of the premises and repair took 4 months. All the walls in the apartment was broken and rebuilt anew. After the redevelopment Dan Vakhrameyev made a studio with an open kitchen, separated dressing room and bathroom. The floor, walls and ceiling are completely overlapped again. On one of the walls partly opened up the brickwork to keep the spirit of the house's history. Center of this wall decorated with the black square, hanging on the canvas for the projector. The rest of the walls painted in a soft ivory color. Dressing room is compact and easily, holds open shelves for clothes and shoes, Reilly brushed metal, mirror almost the height of the ceilings and two photo - reproductions of magazine covers «Vogue» 80s. In the interior, using plywood, it is made of furniture: shelves in the walk-in closet, cupboard at the entrance, kitchen sliding facades and window sills. In the kitchen, especially left a massive chimney. Established professional catering mixer with extractor watering can and water pressure regulator. Particular attention is paid to lighting: it installed so as to be able to lighting, dimming separate zones apartments, for example, the work area in the kitchen or the podium. On the ceiling installed metal fixtures in the form of a tube, and the work area in the kitchen and the bathroom mirror highlight the thin fluorescent lamps. All these lights have been designed and produced by Dan Vakhrameev ‘s projects. Heavy blackout curtains in the room the entire height of the room made of gray fabric. Bathroom installed in concrete podium under the window casing of a wooden board. Also made outdoor shower on a wooden podium, placing them under the drainage system. Highlighting the bathroom too differentiated to be able to highlight some of its zone. Particularly getting away from the standard design ceramic tile walls, Dan decided to use a special plaster with a concrete effect. Photo by Anya Garienchick
