To create a concise and modern interior was the main challenge we faced in combining two flats into one. A family of four: two adults and two children aged 5 and 12 (brother and sister) have purchased two flats in the elite residential complex Petrovskaya Riviera on the rapidly developing Petrovsky Island in St. Petersburg. The flats are located at the end of a residential section, and have a southwest orientation. This gave us a view of the river from part of the windows and some sunlit rooms, almost from early morning until late at night.
It was important for us to position the kitchen-living room so that it became the focal point of the flat with as many windows as possible and with a view of the Neva. The original layout of the two flats allowed for 4 wet areas in the central area, where all the utilities are located: a children’s bathroom, a guest bathroom, a small laundry room and a master bathroom.
The kitchen-living room is also divided up into functional areas. First we go into the living room, and then into the kitchen with a small dining area which opens out onto a glazed balcony. The glazing is frameless, offering views of the boats moored in the water and watching the sunset. From the kitchen area, the flat opens onto a private master bedroom with its own bathroom and dressing room, with a small laundry room on the way.
Like many of our projects, this was no exception, where we have a fairly simple but very functional space, which we have not overloaded with an excessive amount of decorative elements. The atmosphere is very calm, understated and cosy. We have created a very modern and concise modern interior for this flat, in which both children and adults feel comfortable.
