PLAN
The architects of the Sinitsa bureau had the task to create a new, bright image of 2mood, to take into account the experience, offering options for solutions within a fairly tight deadline for the project and finishing. To justify the high standards and demands of the client, while remaining within the tight deadlines for implementation - a challenge that the bureau has met many times before. In this project, we came up with the idea of a glass wall, which creates intrigue and character in the room by using different shades of glass.
Architectural techniques - niches, volumes, space division - are one of the bureau's favourite methods, as they allow us to create a refined interior using only planning and plasterboard, without resorting to decoration and finishing.
3D VISUALIZATION
"We love working with glass as it is an incredibly striking and practical material with a wide range of colours and nuances. Its ease of maintenance and durability make it actually much cheaper than even conventional painted walls. But in this case not everything went well and the finish of one of the fitting rooms had to be replaced. However, the wall to the right of the entrance turned out exactly like in the pictures and the whole project team is very happy with it," says Daria Kirpichnikova, co-founder of Sinitsa bureau.
"As a rule, we test many variants in terms of colour while working on a project. In this case, colour was particularly important to the clients, and we paid twice as much attention to ranges and texture combinations," says Anastasia Kolchina, co-founder of the Sinitsa bureau. The colours of the glass on the wall on the left determined a lot - the cold range of tiles and walls, the colour of the light, the cold light pink in the shades of the furniture, which, incidentally, was also designed for the project.
The rails and retail equipment were designed specifically for the project with maximum flexibility and adaptability in mind. The customers really like stainless steel - after travelling to Seoul, they discovered it as a trendy and relevant finishing material, and all the freestanding equipment is made of it, as well as shelves on the walls with beautiful roundings and details on the cash desk.
