Project Name: White box
Typology: country house
Location: Moscow region, KP "Blueberry fields"
Area: 204 m2

This interior was designed in 2017. Stylistically, it was a continuation of the exterior design of the house: minimalism, monochrome colors and straight lines. The main room in this house is the living room with a second light where the ceiling height is 7 meters. Straight lines and a minimal amount of color allowed us to concentrate on functionality and ergonomics.

In this project, solutions were used that helped create a sustainable design. For example, to maximize the use of daylight and to minimize the need for artificial lighting, white has become the main color of walls and furniture.

The floor on the first floor is decorated with Italon Russian porcelain stoneware. Firstly, it made it more practical and durable (given that the first floor has a higher throughput, it will be less prone to abrasion and require less cleaning costs), and secondly, the choice of the Russian manufacturer has reduced the logistics chain and, thus, reduced environmental impact. In addition, this manufacturer uses in its production recycled materials and participates in the LEED certification program (This is a rating certification system for assessing buildings by degree of environmental cleanliness, common in more than 40 countries around the world).

English paint Little Greene was chosen for painting the walls and ceiling. It has the lowest environmental rating in the industry, and the LOS content is almost zero. In addition, this manufacturer uses renewable resources in the manufacture of cans (they are 50% recycled steel and can be recycled again)

All the lighting in the house is LED, which makes it more efficient to spend electricity and budget.

The bathrooms used plumbing lowering water consumption. Sink faucets with the innovative Cold Start system: cold water always flows from the tap first. The tap cannot be turned to the right, so when you turn the tap, cold water flows forward. Turning the tap to the left makes the water warmer. In this way, not only water is saved, but also energy, since the heating device does not heat up when it is not necessary.
