Apartment of the week (Kyiv)
The art studio in the Chinese style with a minimum amount of furniture, the simulator zone and propaganda posters from the PRC.
The writer Anton Friedland bought a two -room apartment in the old house on Artyom Street five years ago. After traveling in China, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos the interior for his home, the owner decided to arrange in the Asian style. His friend, architect Ilya Kabalov, helped Anton to realize the plan. Having examined various ideas, they agreed on a more neutral design version - convenient for life and at the same time retaining the aesthetics of the Chinese style. Two narrow rooms decided to combine into a single space. To do this, it was necessary to demolish one of the walls, but it turned out to be the supporting, as a result, part of the design had to be left. Since it was necessary to collect many permits for redevelopment, the repair dragged on for almost two years. The space is divided into zones taking into account the rules of Feng - Shui: the main space, the bedroom and the simulator. The hallway from the room was separated visually - with the help of walls and flooring. |
