This loft is situated near Saint-Petersburg, Russia. Typical 3-room apartment (77 sq. m.) with a lot of non-usable spaces becomes a new united, open-space apartment with different mezzanines, podiums and balconies. High spaces, microcement, old-style bricks, exposed wiring, steel beams – all this make an interesting, creative atmosphere.
Main decorative idea is based on yellow/black industrial warning signs or fencing stripes, which are used on construction and places of incident. Large prints on every door like “EXIT” or big “WC” sign help to navigate and give to dramatic looking space a little bit fun. A special task was to use the maximum height of the mansard floor (3.8 meters), for this reason we make podiums in the kitchen and bathroom, a niche-bed in the child’s room and the big construction of a mini-balcony (where the owner is going just to sit and view his photos from trips on laptop) in the bedroom.
THANK YOU!
