The main goal of the project was to functionally use the entire space, create the right zoning, while inhaling a lot of air and light. The emphasis of the project was the light solution – the rejection of point light. The choice fell on the Arlight linear LED light controlled by remote controllers, which in turn perfectly emphasized all interior planes. For each leisure scenario, you can choose the desired level of lighting. Such lighting meets all the requirements of energy efficiency, safety and durability.

The key area in the interior is the kitchen-living room. The kitchen housed a standard block of lower and upper bases, a column and a dining table area (mixers, wash Omoikiri, Sydney SKDESIGN table). Microwave, oven and refrigerator are located in the column cabinet, which separates the space from the hallway area.  Here, in the kitchen area and the hallway, in a niche under the ceiling, a channel air conditioning system (channel fanсoil) is installed. Thanks to the installation system, only decorative niches are noticeable in the room itself.

In the center of the living room is a modular sofa made of white leather ARCH625, which allows you to play various leisure scenarios.

A glass partition-wall separates the private area of one of the bedrooms and thereby retained the maximum amount of natural light.

The bathroom had a bathtub, sink, hanging toilet with installation and built-in closet. (sink, toilet by Vitra, mixers by Boheme). Instead of a towel freezer, we took a warm wall with towel holders as an option.
