Laconic apartment 104 sq. m. m with panoramic views of the center of St. Petersburg

For young, active lifestyle owners, designer Yulia Fambulova has created a versatile and functional interior in monochrome, imbued with an atmosphere of relaxation and tranquility.

Area: 104 sq. m

The apartment is located in a modern residential complex «Smolny Park» in the historical center of St. Petersburg. Panoramic windows overlook the Neva River and the inner park of the complex. «Being here for the first time, the first thing you pay attention to is the view from the windows: the river, historical buildings, a green park. The main idea of the project is to create a laconic interior, consonant with the surrounding space, so that people living in this apartment can at any moment stop their eyes at the beauty outside the window and relax,» the author of the project Yulia Fambulova comments on the idea.

The shelving system for TV in the living room is a mosaic of fragments of veneered panels made of American walnut with a profile of polished gold. A Planika bio-fireplace is installed in the natural stone countertop.

«The customer is a young, promising professional athlete,» Yulia continues the story. — Tough, with character, demanding, collected, strong-willed and laconic. Most of his time is occupied by training, work and travel. She is his bright Muse, smart and elegant. In those rare hours when they are together, it was difficult to find a better place to relax together than the St. Petersburg air. They bought an apartment as a «hotel» for the duration of their stay in St. Petersburg. The owners travel a lot for work, so they wanted to see a light, not overloaded with household details interior, a little similar to the hotel. So that everything is at hand at the right time in the right place!».

The compositional center of the living room is a dining area decorated with handmade ceramic panels called «The elusive tenderness of being». «We wanted to decorate the wall with an interesting decor, but the idea was not born for a long time,» recalls Yulia Fambulova. — She appeared unexpectedly during a trip to interior salons. Looking at a stack of carpets, the hostess came up with the idea of unglazed ceramics, similar to the famous Wedgwood «biscuit». That’s how these delicate white leaves with a golden petal in the center appeared, floating and spinning merrily in the wind in the rays of the rising St. Petersburg sun.» Chandelier, Garda Decor. The panel is made according to the sketches of the designer of the ceramic workshop of art ceramics Dream Style. Chairs, Deep House.

To find out the smallest details of the couple’s life, the designer suggested that the customer recall and describe in detail how their day goes, how they enter the house, where they insert the bag, where they store the documents … «They were very surprised by these questions, they thought it was banal! — Julia recalls. — But we consciously did all these actions from the moment we entered the house and in reverse order, and found that many little things go out of our field of attention. We do them automatically, without noticing. Virtually, we went through each of the premises, and with this «map» of the apartment, all its capabilities and the real needs of the owners became clear.»

The working area of the kitchen and storage were planned based on the fact that the hostess knows and loves to cook. Light simple facades with integrated handles for polished gold make the kitchen area almost invisible. In the vertical columns there are extendable storage modules and a technical accounting unit.

When designing the kitchen, the customer found the volume of the standard built-in refrigerator too small. Therefore, the designer has assembled a convenient module consisting of a separate single-door refrigerator and a neighboring freezer installed under the oven. This new concept of embedded technology is easily assembled from Liebherr modules.

Taking into account these points and the wishes of the owners, the author of the project has developed the most suitable and comfortable planning solution. The apartment has a large bright space of a living room-kitchen-dining room where you can receive guests, a spacious shower room, a guest room, a bedroom with an adjoining bathroom and dressing rooms. «All functional zones remained at their former borders,» explains Yulia. — We have only slightly expanded the walls of the living room and bedroom at the expense of the guest room. Priority was given to large spaces, considering that they would be more useful, because it is they who will most often be used by the owners.»

The entrance to the bedroom is preceded by a dressing room with wardrobes on both sides.

The headboard of the bed is decorated with a panel with a marble pattern of four large-format REX sheets. «Sheets of 2.4×1.2 meters in size helped to create a beautiful composition without visible seams,» the author of the project notes. — But it caused problems with the delivery and lifting of the material. It was impossible to lift the plates on the elevator, the dimensions of the elevator did not allow. As a result, each slab was lifted on foot to the 5th floor.» Bedside table, armchair, Garda Decor.

In the master bedroom, the designer used her favorite zoning technique: the entrance to the room is preceded by a dressing room. Thus, the wardrobe creates a kind of buffer zone, further separating the bedroom from the rest of the premises and making it as isolated as possible. In turn, the cabinets are divided into compartments for him and for her. «The women’s half of the wardrobe turned out to be larger, and we made it glass on both sides. A bold solution for careful owners when all the contents are in plain sight,» explains the designer.

The hinged glass facades of the dressing room have a bronzed tinting. This reduced the transparency of the glass and preserved the visual lightness of the design. The shelves inside the dressing room are made of oak veneer, close to the color of the parquet.

The back blind side of the wardrobe is also made of glass.

In the choice of materials, first of all, we were guided by the emotional component. The interior uses veneer of different breeds and shades, tried on among themselves, as it happens in nature. Wood on the walls, in the furniture and decoration of bathrooms. The floor in the living areas is lined with a massive board of tinted oak AnticWood. The brushed texture of the board under oil is as natural as possible, tactilely pleasant. The wood made the interior warm and cozy. Large-format large-format porcelain stoneware Italon is used in the hallway and bathrooms. The walls are painted with MKPaint washable paint.

The master bathroom is quite small — its area is only 6 sq. m. In order to accommodate everything you need (a free-standing bathtub, a toilet, twin sinks, a roomy shower), the designer worked out the planning solution five times, calculating the place for the toilet (Ideal Standart) and the exit for the shower literally by centimeters.

The color of the walls throughout the apartment is the same, differing in warmer shades in the bedroom and cooler ones in the living room. The color palette is neutral, built on nuances. The designer picked up soft light shades of gray-beige. «In this range, you feel calm, relaxed, you tune in to rest,— Yulia reflects. — Different in density and more saturated gray and beige colors appeared in furniture, textiles and decor. Black is used as a contrasting element: in the living room — very carefully and dosed. Details in furniture and lighting made of polished gold add luxurious simplicity, as they say, «at the tip of a knife.»

Light glossy large-format porcelain stoneware on the floor in the living room combines functional areas, reflecting the light pouring from the windows, and visually enlarges the space. A dense graphite color has been introduced in the bedroom and bathrooms. The decoration of porcelain stoneware under rosewood and American walnut veneer in the furniture added naturalness to the interior and softened the brutal nature of the bathrooms. In the guest room, the designer added a shade of marsala in textiles to the neutral light background.

The guest room is not so much in demand, and it was decided to place the maximum number of additional storage places there. A wardrobe was built around the bed, which even housed such large things as suitcases. Thanks to the smooth facades without handles (the doors open with a light push), the plane of the cabinet is perceived as one with the wall (the color of the walls and the enamel on the facades of the cabinet are matched to the same tone).

The guest bathroom combines the functions of a laundry room. In a separate closet there are washing machines and dryers. The irregular shape of the shower from 40 cm in the narrowest part adjacent to the communication box to the required 80 cm to the door slope with a width of 120 cm is a compact, but convenient solution for such a small room.

The pieces of furniture are distinguished by simplicity and clarity of forms, high quality and functionality. «We should be comfortable,» the customers said, and actively participated in the selection of the main interior details, — says the author of the project. — So, the sofa was chosen by trial. Not too soft, not too dense, it had to be tabletop-friendly to be inconspicuous. The moment of having a pet was added to the requirements for upholstered furniture. The upholstery of the sofa, beds, armchairs in the bedroom well resist the claws of a pet. We had the same requirements for carpets. The Sirius collection perfectly matched the glossy floor of the living room. Carpets are woven from a mixture of acrylic and eucalyptus silk — an innovative material that is soft and smooth, like ordinary silk, but much more durable and wear-resistant. A handmade Murugan Indian carpet made of low-pile natural fiber decorated the master bedroom.»
