The social youth club's renovation project unveils a unique space for creativity, inspiration, and camaraderie. It features three focal areas: a ceramic workshop, a sewing studio, and a fashion club. Located in a two-story building built in the 1960s in the Kalininsky district of St. Petersburg, the club is home to the creative youth of the city.
On the ground floor, there is a welcoming reception area featuring modular sofas. An exhibition space hosts a transformable stage and projector screen, ideal for a variety of events. On the same floor, there is a dedicated ceramic studio, which offers space for pottery crafting, ceramic painting, and firing. The shelves are designed to showcase and store unique creations.
Ascending to the second floor, you'll find a spacious sewing studio. It includes fitting rooms, sewing tables, and a relaxation area. Next to it is the "Fashion Club," which is a haven for those interested in the world of fashion. It's equipped with a shooting area for TikTok videos. Makeup stations, a photo zone illuminated by professional lighting, and a space that is adorned with terrazzo, rattan, and plaster finishes. The interior is characterized by a natural color palette punctuated by accents of olive and terracotta. This creates a cozy atmosphere inspired by the beauty of the Tuscan region in Italy and serves as a place for inspiration and self-expression.
