Interior design project of apartment in Kyiv #TA105

A pattern is a pattern used to create identical objects. In the 70s of the last century, the American architect Christopher Alexander began to implement architectural patterns or design patterns. The most interesting thing is that in architecture they did not receive such popularity as in software development.

Templates make the production process faster, but the perception of each other - complicate. We take it naturally when girls buy pink dresses and dolls. But toys for children are a method of studying the world around them, and for a girl it is not limited only to light shades of red, just as she does not study the world with the help of only teddy bears. Boys can benefit from playing with dolls until they are 2 or 3 years old as they learn the basics of interacting with other people and develop empathy. And girls will not hurt, contrary to the patterns, playing with cars.

Belik designers break perception patterns by working with non-standard tasks. The project in the residential complex Alter Ego became a task with an asterisk, which was set before us by a three-year-old customer. Are you interested?
Our customers do not have so many skills in receiving guests - the size of their previous housing did not allow inviting friends and relatives to their place as often as they would like. But they have a lot of desire and opportunity to realize their plans for friendly parties now. They are already planning that their parents will come to their "cozy fortress" and stay with them overnight.
The open space of the living room united the kitchen, dining room and lounge area, in which parents and friends of the apartment owners will gather. Lighting helped us zone the open space, which will soon host parties and celebrations.
Timeless classics will always be in demand. For the lounge area, we have chosen the traditional furniture arrangement scheme, which has never let us down - we have placed a sofa in front of the TV, whose dimensions will be comfortable for 4-5 people to rest. There are two coffee tables next to it, and under the TV is a low chest of drawers for storing books.
Ceiling lights provide cozy light and divide the space into two different functional areas - the dining room and the lounge. We have selected lamps from different companies. Nowadays, an interior with lamps from one collection is considered as bad form as creating your bow entirely from Chanel, Zara or Calvin Klein. The ability to tactfully combine brands is one of the indicators of a designer's professionalism.
The magnet for the interior was the wall art object that united all the colors used in the interior of the open space. They don't even talk about the need for art in the interior. It is introduced into a residential or office space to create an atmosphere of bourgeois and exclusivity. We understand that the word "exclusivity", erased to holes, has lost its original meaning. However, it is the objects of art that help the designer understand what real exclusivity is and how to achieve it.
The location of the kitchen in the recess was not accidental: it will allow the owner of the house to communicate with the family while cooking and not worry about the temporary mess in the kitchen.
Under the TV we placed a low console with open and closed shelves for books, which the owner of the apartment is fond of.
The lighting hidden in the two-level ceiling allows you to create a different light scenario - from ceremonial to intimate. We do not see direct light from the LED strip hidden in the back of the false ceiling. Its soft glow reaches us, which creates an interesting visual play - it forms the illusion of a high vault hovering above you.
“Cozy nest” and “fortress” - this is how the owners of the apartment, the parents of the three-year-old baby, called the future house so contradictory. It seems that the talent for asking difficult and interesting problems is a family trait. So, we have to create a cozy fortress in an apartment located on an area of ​​110 square meters with a ceiling height of 2.98 meters.

The customers chose the main beige color for the interior. Since their 3-year-old daughter prefers green, we have suggested a muted green to partner with beige. The influence of green on our emotional state is enormous. Unlike other colors, it doesn't get bored quickly. It soothes and sets you in a positive mood.

Our commitment to fitted wardrobes resonated with the owners of this apartment. We all love functional and aesthetic solutions. Built-in furniture makes the space more organized. It helps to avoid the surplus of freestanding pieces of furniture that the hostess spends so much time cleaning. And in the case when there is a small and active child in the house, built-in furniture helps to create an environmentally friendly and safe space.
When there is a choice of what height to make storage systems, we always vote for their installation under the ceiling - they are easier to wash, they can fit more things and they form an integral image of an apartment, without crushing and small details. Do you agree?
The presence of different storage systems is a prerequisite for comfortable bathrooms. For Belik studio designers, this is one of the main rules! In the case of this interior, we suggested placing built-in wardrobes over the plumbing fixtures and a massive cabinet under the sink.

And here our maximalism and desire to avoid unnecessary elements that complicate the cleaning for the hostess took over. We convinced the apartment owners to install the doors without platbands. In addition to the advantages that we wrote about above, there are two more indisputable advantages - they make the ceiling visually higher and the room more spacious.
A lot of hidden lighting was integrated into the bathroom interior - it filled the room with "air" and formed the optical illusion of a bathtub floating in the air.

The interior of the bathroom combines different textures of the same color scheme. This way we avoid visual boredom. Even within the same color scheme, you can and should create rich visual impressions.
For the flooring of the "wet" areas, we chose textured anti-slip tiles from the Spanish factory.

Spanish porcelain stoneware over the bathroom, thanks to the streaks imitating natural marble, has become the main decor of this stylish space. We also thought about the design of the shelves for cosmetics - their color matches the color of the porcelain stoneware pattern. Together they form a harmonious visual duo.
We painted the bathroom interior in all shades of the same color, that is, we created a monochrome picture. Designers avoid monochrome interiors - made by amateurs, they can give the impression of facelessness.

Apartment owners do not work outside the home. The wife is raising a daughter. The husband works from home. This means that they spend a lot of time together and their tracks of movement around the apartment will intersect. We have designed the bathroom so that two people feel comfortable in it.
It is said that 83% of interior designer clients pay any price for a bathroom window. There is some beauty in starting your morning with an illuminating shower, looking at the city below you. Realizing this, we came up with a planning solution that realized the dream of a window in the bathroom.

The baby's bathroom is equipped with a shower cabin, in which she will play for hours.

Did you know that one cell contains 100 thousand pollen particles? And here's another curious fact - when building honeycombs, bees use the earth's magnetic field as a guide. And finally - honeycomb - this form of ceramic tiles has been in the top for several years now and this trend, according to our forecasts, will continue. We create timeless designs, so we only follow long-lasting trends.
The reflective window in the mirror enhances the light output in the bathroom.
The price for a design project of an apartment reflects the professionalism of the designer and his ability to hear the client. This is important when designing any room in a living space. However, the ability to understand the client's needs is especially important when creating a bedroom interior. Perhaps this is the only non-public space in the apartment. In it, the owner seeks not to impress others, but to express himself.

The dressing table is positioned so that natural light falls comfortably from the left. You know why this is so important. The light should fall from the side of the non-working hand so that the right hand does not block it.
We have installed modern air conditioners in each of the rooms.
Increasingly, in addition to the design project of the apartment, prices for finishing materials and furniture, we provide the service of "designer supervision".
And finally, the girl's room, who, despite her young age, became the main customer in this project. The three-year-old has a pretty clear understanding of what she wants. We have never received such a detailed technical assignment as from her.
Yes, the girl is not a fan of pink, preferring green to it. In our perception, this color is closely associated with nature, which is so lacking in residents of noisy cities. We have enhanced the natural motives in the interior by choosing posters with floral patterns and adding a pillow of an unusual flower inflorescence shape.
As we said, our little customer loves cars and trains. We organized her workspace and storage systems so that she has as much room as possible to play with them.

For her, we have designed a convenient drawing table, because besides transport, she is fond of drawing.
Bad weather does not interfere with sports - the room is equipped with a sports mini-corner.

Green and beige create a color combination that creates a sense of freshness.
Playing on the floor becomes more fun when you sit on a soft carpet. And, if we have decided to reflect all the latest trends in the design of this apartment, catch another one - carpets. Exactly so - one of the latest interior insights.
For remote work of the owner of the apartment, we have designed a full-fledged office.

The design of the apartment and its price in Kiev differ from other cities, as well as the technical task, requirements and requests of clients.

Square fixtures follow the straight lines that characterize the design of this cabinet. To some extent, they reflect the direct nature of the owner of the apartment.
The built-in wardrobe makes the room bigger and organizes magazines, documents, books.
For the next 5 years this office will become the main one in the interior of this apartment - these are the business plans of its owner. And the plans for the whole family include warm parties with friends, visits from parents and the happiness with which they fill the space of their cozy home.

The price for a design project of an apartment includes, in addition to visualizations, detailed drawings of your apartment.
Thank you for watching, I am very pleased with your attention to my work. 
I will be glad to your assessment.
