Natasha Klimchuk, co-owner of the online school Bang! Bang! Education, turned to architect Yana Bryukhnova with a request to create an interior where she can completely escape from daily worries. "I work with visual art, home for me is a place of strength and relaxation from color and fuss. My references for this apartment were Rick Owens, Richard Serra, Vincenzo de Cotiis — those who, with the help of natural materials, concrete, stone, metal, return peace, silence and time to space. Meeting with Yana was a gift of fate, we understood each other at first sight, I found not only a dream home, but also a friend," Natalia says.

Yana, who worked at Crosby Studio and now heads her Muno Design project, sought to make the space as "clean" and bright as possible. "Rounding corners, zoning passages, white tones and hidden niches with cabinets — all these techniques help to fill the apartment with natural light. To give the interior a pronounced character, we have preserved the ceiling and part of the walls in their original form," explains the architect.

The hallway is separated from the rest of the apartment by a large wardrobe. A washing machine and shelves for storing household chemicals and other necessary trifles are hidden behind one of its facades. Also, the entrance area is limited by vertical metal blinds, which easily rotate 360 degrees. Behind the blinds is a reading room with a comfortable couch designed by Le Corbusier and steel shelving from Muno Design.

The lower part of the kitchen is also made of stainless steel, while the upper cabinets, apron and countertop are made in white, so they completely dissolve in space. The kitchen area smoothly passes into the living room, where there is a large sofa and a projector for movie screenings.

"Our task was to design a space not only for the hostess herself, but also for her art collection," the architect continues. — That's why we painted the walls white and left them empty. Nevertheless, the hostess can not only hang paintings on the walls, but also arrange them on consoles, shelves or even just on the floor."

The wall behind the bed in the bedroom is decorated with a bright mural inspired by the mountain landscape. "After our joint trip to Altai, Natasha was so inspired by the local flavor, expanses and colors of nature that she made changes to the project. On the wall you see a photo that the brave artist Olya Savostyuk transferred to the wall."

From the bedroom you can go to the bathroom, where there is everything for complete relaxation and immersion in yourself: a large bathtub by the panoramic window, shelves for books and soft light.
