A Seamless Blend of Classic Elegance and Modern Living
This residential interior project in Moscow is a 130m² apartment transformation that demonstrates how classic charm and modern design can coexist in harmony. The concept arose from the challenge of uniting two separate apartments into one cohesive living space, fully tailored to the lifestyle of the client.
The homeowner, accustomed to the spaciousness of a private house, desired the comfort and openness of a larger dwelling without losing the timeless appeal of classic design elements. The result is a modern classic interior that combines clean lines, refined details, and functional layouts with warm, inviting accents.
Design Vision: Finding Balance Between Old and New
The design team invested considerable time in searching for the perfect balance between modern minimalism and classic sophistication. Ornamental touches, such as elegant moldings and timeless textures, were carefully juxtaposed with sleek finishes, streamlined furniture, and contemporary lighting solutions.
This approach not only created a visually appealing home but also ensured practicality and comfort in daily living. The overall aesthetic evokes elegance while remaining functional and adaptable to modern urban life.
