The apartment we had to work on the interior of is located in St. Petersburg, in the center of the Petrogradskaya Storona, not far from Austrian Square. From these places, near the Peter and Paul Fortress, St. Petersburg began to develop. The district developed along with the city, becoming a center of cultural, scientific and secular life.

The developer describes the style of the building as light Art Deco. Indispensable elements of the building's architecture are the French balconies, pilasters, and the natural stone and fine ceramic tile cladding.
The laconic, close to classic architecture combined with original architectural details is neatly integrated into the context of the historic building.

For this reason, we decided to design an interior that will be a harmonious continuation of the exterior of the house and will exist in it in an organic architectural ensemble without separating it from the present time and current interior trends.

So in the basis of the author's technique was the transfer of the motifs of the facade and the environment in a few elements of the interior decor. In the plaster, which forms the headboard in the bedroom, we have repeated the pattern of the grating of the balcony railings. And for the wall cladding behind the shelving units we have used tiles similar to those we can see on the facade of the house.

The rest of the interior is quite laconic and architectural. The volumes, in which the guest bathroom and laundry room are located, were highlighted with different materials: veneered oak panels and fine decorative plaster with marble chips.

The architectural details were based on the study of the junctions between the various elements. We solved the conjugation of the wall and ceiling with a shadowed joint, and the walls and floor with a concealed skirting board with different types of finish depending on the functional purpose.
