Due to the height of the ceiling, it turned out to make another room above the kitchen. Guest room or office for work.

The apartment itself is located in a house built in 1896 and is located in the historical district of St. Petersburg with authentic original stucco, which it was decided to leave, while it was necessary to adapt it functionally for a large and creative family.

The most important thing in this project was the work of the youngest son of the architects. This is the first large work 200x150cm. nine-year-old Leonid. During the pandemic, the boy became interested in painting and now his works adorn private collections not only in Russia. He has two solo exhibitions to his credit.

When they were dismantling and cleaning the walls from old wallpaper in the partition between two large rooms, they found a walled enfilade door. There were swing rings in the box. This door was reconstructed and introduced into the project as a bright object.
