The apartment owners are a young creative couple. The guys play guitars coolly, participate in music festivals every year, and also create light installations. First of all, they wanted to create an unusual bright space that would inspire them to creative impulses and reflect their inner worlds.

The apartment is located in the house of 1956. The original layout was standard for those years: a long corridor, a living room, a bedroom and an isolated kitchen. All the rooms were quite small and dark. The kitchen with gas supply, as required by the rules, we separated from the living room with a sealed partition, due to which the space became lighter and more spacious. Also in the apartment there is a room in which there is a preserved garbage chute. Unfortunately, it was not possible to remove it — not all residents of the house agreed. As a result, there is a wardrobe and additional storage space in this room.

In the bedroom, all attention is attracted by the bay window, where we have organized a small sitting area with an armchair and a side table. The wall behind the headboard is decorated with wallpaper with a pattern created based on the traditional ceramics of the town of Cap d'Ail, in southeastern France. The drawing symbolizes the fusion of heaven and earth, as the fusion of male and female. The floral theme of the print continues with a bed and a pedestal made of natural materials.

The interior is filled with art objects that bring light ironic notes to the atmosphere. The spherical abstraction of Lev Efimov, located on a pedestal in the living room, for us symbolizes the moments and impressions caught and gathered together. The lithograph "Kiss" in the hallway reflects the bright and harmonious relationship of the couple, and the sculpture on the windowsill in the bedroom speaks about the passage of time and every day reminds the owners that life should be enjoyed now.
